7.5 earthquake just felt in Phoenix !:rofl: I'm in full blown panic mode now, mainly because I was just checking my bank account (Wells Fargo) to see what my balance was and had a huge SHOCK! On Thursday the airline ticket was a pending transaction. Now it's disappeared completely ! :eek::eek: It's no longer pending, but neither has it been posted to my account. I just checked online with BA and the booking is still on their end.

So now I'm wondering if this is normal for Wells Fargo??? Just about to make a call to their 1-800 number.

That happens a lot with WF. Sometimes it posts when they run it through and then disappears until they put it through as a transaction. Don't panic!!!

Okay, my breathing has returned to normal and I am no longer hyperventilating. :rofl: It was exactly as you said Cardienscarf. Apparently according to WF this is normal, especially with airline tickets. The airline posts the amount as a 'test' first, to see if it goes through and to make sure the funds are in the bank. Once they see that everything is okay then they put in through as an actual transaction. Seems like a dumb way of doing it..why don't they just put it through the first time as a transaction and if it goes through they KNOW the funds are in the bank??

Now I just have to hope it clears before Tuesday because I was going to go in and close my account !

You can close your account from the other side of the pond if it hasn't cleared. No need to make a special trip in unless you need a lollipop :D

According to the WF website, you can close an account online. Just type 'close an account' in the search box and you'll get to it.

But what happens if you still have money in the account?? Although I guess I could just go to the bank on Tuesday morning, take out whatever money is remaining after taking into consideration the ticket (if not posted by then), and then try the online closing. Something to think about though, so thanks for that. Too bad the bank didn't tell me that. :rofl::rofl:

I think you just want to go to the bank one last time :) They should be able to help you even if you have transactions that haven't cleared. They can see what's pending.
