    i work for a large credit card and this DOES happen, it has been going on for over a year and usually they catch the charges and make an outbound call to you if it is suspicious. many merchants "test" cards its nothing new. it posts as an "authorization" and is removed after a period of time. if you didnt call you would never know it was there. no need to blow up your credit card companies and freak out, just pay attention to your online accounts and statements. call if you see anything you don't recognize from these, report them and you'll be fine

    You know whats sad, You work for a credit card company and your post is pretty stupid in relation to what we are talking about in this thread..

    If your information is correct... explain to me this purchases :

    01/05/2010 CHECK CARD PURCHASE APL*ITUNES 866-712-7753 CA $0.99

    12/26/2009 CHECK CARD PURCHASE APL*ITUNES 866-712-7753 CA $0.99

    So how long does it take ?

    Or wait a second, this autho usually clears within 24 to 48 hours.. .. depending when the merchant "batches" their credit cards ...

    If I didnt make the purchases , who did ?

    Maybe Itunes is robbing me blind and other people too ? I really doubt that.. not saying that is not possible, but I doubt it.
