Cancel credit card transaction

Sending an authorization to your card provider via email is a convenient way to cancel if you don't have the time to wait in the phone queue. After making the cancellation, you can contact your merchant or retailer to alert them of the development as a gesture of good faith.

This should be a button or tab located at the top of the page. Click on "Activity" to bring up a list of your recent transactions. Find the transaction you wish to cancel. You may need to select "All Transactions" to find the transaction you are looking for. When you've found the pending payment you want, click the "Cancel" button.

You can stop payment on any transaction as long as it's for more than $50 and you live within 100 miles of the place where you bought the item. You have 60 days to make a claim, and your credit card issuer will ask why you want to cancel. Proving your case is more difficult if you made the transaction overseas or it's for a big-ticket item.
