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.
It's possible DL will never submit the actual transaction. Thus no need for a refund. Days the authorization remains pending is up to your bank. Nothing was taken out. Your bank is just holding that amount since they think DL will be sending a transaction through for that amount.
