25. Why do I sometimes have problems using my nFinanSe Card at restaurants, and hairand nail salons, when I have enough money left on my nFinanSe Card to cover the bill forthe food / service?
When a restaurant or other "tip" oriented Merchant (e.g., spas, hair salons, etc.) requests approvalto complete your transaction, the Merchant will often add a fixed percentage (approximately20%) to the amount reflected on the bill presented to you prior to payment. This additionalamount is meant to cover the tip that they expect you will add to the bill. As a result of thisincreased authorization request, if you have insufficient Available Funds on your nFinanSe Cardto cover the amount that the Merchant requested approval for your nFinanSe Card may bedeclined.
If you have more than sufficient Available Funds on your nFinanSe Card to cover the amountthat the Merchant requested to approve, it may result in a 'hold' on your Available Funds for theadditional amount if you do not add the amount they expect.
Once the Merchant sends the final transaction amount you designate, the 'hold' on your AvailableFunds will be removed for any additional amount exceeding the final transaction amount.
Pre-Authorizations can take up to 30 days. During this period you will not be able to use anyAvailable Funds in a 'hold' position.
For example, if your meal, not including a tip, totaled $50 but the restaurant seeks approval for$60 (e.g., includes a $10 (20%) tip in the authorization request) and you choose to pay only the$50 for the meal with your nFinanSe Card, leaving the tip in cash, then the additional $10 wouldbe placed on 'hold' until a submission from the restaurant is received reflecting a final transactionamount of $50 on your nFinanSe Card.
26. How do I return merchandise and get a credit or refund?
Any returns will depend on the return policy of the merchant. If the merchant agrees to issue acredit to the nFinanSe Card for merchandise returned, such funds may not be available for up tofive (5) business days from the date the refund transaction occurs.
