If you are using your card for car hire, hotel reservations, general bookings or to guarantee a payment, the prepaid funds on your card will be pre-authorised and blocked for payment of the services that you request. • Some businesses – car hire and hotels in particular – may block more funds than you expect to use, and this will affect the available balance on your card. • The blocked funds will not be available for you to use until the final bill has been settled and cleared via MasterCard. • Usually the unspent amount is made available for use within a day or two of payment. However in some instances it can take up to 14 days for the transaction to be fully processed and for your card to be credited.
