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.
