If that's the case - do you know when do they debit the card? In that case I will need to 'earmark' that funds on my card myself - so that when SQ debits the card there will be available funds for them to take! Won't want to lead to things like being over my credit limit.

Of course I will send them an e-mail to ask if it doesn't appear on my credit card statement for the next few days - but it'll be great if you could share with me what usually happens!

Thanks!
In my case, I booked and ticketed a ticket about 2 months ahead and was only debitted about 2 - 3 weeks before the departure date.
Am not sure if this may apply to you as well or was it a slowness in processing. I have encountered this a couple of times though.
