My Booking was unsuccessful but I was charged https://support.visitlocaltravel.com/faq/my-booking-was-unsuccessful-but-i-was-charged/ Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:10:55 +0000 https://support.visitlocaltravel.com/?post_type=faq&p=53 This version is direct and easy to scan, ideal for FAQs or confirmation pages.

Understanding Authorization Holds

You may see a temporary charge on your account when you make a booking. This is an authorization hold, not an actual charge.

  • What it is: A temporary hold on your debit or credit card to ensure funds are available.
  • How it looks: It may appear as a “pending” transaction or reduce your available balance.
  • When it clears: The hold is released if your booking expires or is cancelled. This release can take up to 7 business days, depending on your bank.

Please note: While it might look like a double charge, you will only be charged once your booking is confirmed.

Why did I receive a different refund amount to what I paid? https://support.visitlocaltravel.com/faq/why-did-i-receive-a-different-refund-amount-to-what-i-paid/ Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:04:53 +0000 https://support.visitlocaltravel.com/?post_type=faq&p=51 When a refund is processed to your card, the amount is converted back to your local currency using the exchange rate on the day the refund is issued. This rate is set by your bank and is often different from the rate used for your original purchase.

Because exchange rates fluctuate, the refunded amount in your local currency will likely differ from what you originally paid. Your bank may also charge international transaction fees.

Please note that Visit Local Travel cannot refund any differences caused by these exchange rate changes or bank fees. To avoid this, we recommend always purchasing in your local currency.

For details on specific rates and fees, please contact your card issuer.

Why haven’t I received my refund? https://support.visitlocaltravel.com/faq/why-havent-i-received-my-refund/ Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:54:43 +0000 https://support.visitlocaltravel.com/?post_type=faq&p=47 Understanding Your Refund

We’ve processed your refund, and it’s now on its way back to you. Here’s what to expect and what to do if you have any concerns.

  • Expected Timeline: Most refunds are posted to your account within 10 business days.
  • Your First Step: If it’s been more than 10 business days, please contact your bank or card issuer first. They can often see pending transactions that aren’t yet visible on your statement.

Refund Details by Payment Method

  • Credit/Debit Cards: Your refund will be sent to the original card used for the purchase.
    • Please allow up to 10 business days for it to appear (timing depends on your bank).
    • It may show as a “reversal” of the original charge instead of a separate “credit.”
    • If your card has expired or been replaced, your bank is still responsible for crediting your account.

Helpful Tips for a Smooth Process

  • Always check with your bank first if a refund seems delayed, they have the most up to date information.
  • Remember that refunds can look different on your statement (e.g., as a reversal or a credit).
  • Please allow extra time for refunds to alternative payment methods.
