I'd give it a full week - and if you still don't see anything at that point, I'd definitely give DL a call and have them look into it. It also might be worth calling your bank before you do that just to make sure they don't see anything on their end, since I'd imagine one of DL's first questions will be if you contacted your bank.
Thanks For telling me to check with my bank. I just called and was told that the $440 is still pending. Which means there is probably some disconnect between Delta trying to refund me and the initial charge not even being charged. It seems like it's sitting in limbo. Now I'm not sure what to do. I guess I called to get the refund in time within 24 hours to prevent the $440 from getting automatically charged but it still was taken out of my account due to it being pending. But 4 days pending. Sigh...What am I supposed to do now? Obv Delta can't process a refund if no money was permanently taken out of my account for the ticket purchase. But it is taken out due to this pending hold by Delta when bought the ticket.
