Merchants such as restaurants, hotels, mail order companies, and automobile rental businesses may attempt to submit authorizations against the Card for an amount greater than the actual purchase amount. Your account will only be debited for the actual amount spent. However, if a merchant attempts an authorization greater than the balance remaining on your Prepaid Card, it may be declined.
