Temporary Authorizations And Payment Holds
Merchants such as hotels and gas stations can temporarily suspend cash card payments that appear in their transaction activities. Once the freeze is lifted, the funds will be automatically returned to your Cash app. Usually this will happen within 10 working days.
The service station may also charge a temporary authorization fee of up to $100 from your cash card. Your gas fee will be charged later as a separate transaction for deauthorization reservations. To avoid this problem, please pay the required amount of gasoline at the cashier before refueling.
When a merchant refunds a transaction, it may take up to 10 business days for the Cash app to receive the refund. After the Cash App receives the refund, the funds will automatically appear in the Cash App balance.
If you have any questions within 10 working days, please contact the merchant directly.

Voided Payments & Negative Balances
Merchants can refund or cancel the payment, and then charge a different amount from their account.
The following are some common reasons why payments are cancelled and deducted later:
· The restaurant may temporarily keep your account when requesting a check, and then process it later and include a tip
· Pre-authorization of gas stations
· Hotel reservations
· Online retailers can make temporary deductions or charges in your account when you place an order, and then complete the charge when you ship the order.
If you don't have enough funds in your cash app to pay late fees or extra tips, your balance may become negative.
