    Hi everyone,

    I bought an outlet laptop and it was shipped on Friday. I found the "pending charges" of my cr card was exactly double the price. Those charges will exceed my cr limit if posted on Monday. I have no idea about why this happened. Any suggestions? Thx.

    call up your credit card company asap and ask them what happened. Then call up lenovo and hear them out. Could it be possible that you hit the "submit" button twice?

    Typically, a vendor will 'hold' the money on your CC...and then actually charge it in a 'different' transaction. The money on hold will have its hold cancelled when the other transaction is actually changed. Only one charge should actually make it through...but if you are concerned, go ahead and call the CC company on Monday.
