(25)
Why was my transaction declined?
The most common reasons a transaction may be declined are:
 Insufficient funds are available. Please check your funds availability and transaction history.
 The restaurant or merchant you patronized authorized the transaction for 20 percent more
than the original purchase price to cover a possible gratuity.
 You attempted to use your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card at a “Pay at the
Pump” gas station and there is a temporary hold of $75.00 on your card. Please make sure
to pre-pay for any gas purchases with the cashier.
 There is an extended hold placed on your card from activity at a hotel, car rental, or similar
merchant.
SPLIT TRANSACTIONS
(26)
Can I pay for part of a purchase with my FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card and pay
for the other part of the purchase with another type of payment?
Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions where you would use
your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card as partial payment for goods and services and
then pay the remainder of the balance with another form of legal tender. If you wish to conduct
a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge
only the exact amount of funds available on your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card to
the Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some
merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the
merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping your FORT BRAGG
FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card, your transaction will likely be declined.
HOTELS, LODGING, RENTALS and “HOLDS”
(27)
What does it mean when a merchant places a “hold” on my card?
When you use your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card to pay for goods or services,
some merchants (typically car rental companies and hotels) may authorize the transaction in
advance. This places a temporary “hold” on your card for the amount of the sale plus an
additional amount or percentage greater than the sale amount depending on the individual
merchant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Rev 4/17/2014
If your transaction is for a high dollar amount, some types of merchants may place extended
holds on your card for 10 days (up to 90 days for car rentals). Once your purchase goes through,
any excess holds will be removed from your card. If you begin a transaction that requires a hold
on your funds and then cancel the transaction, there still may be a temporary hold on your
funds for up to ten (10) days or more.
CAUTION: Please note we cannot manually release authorizations or holds without a certified
letter or fax from the merchant.
(28)
Can I use my FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card for a reservation at a Hotel, other
Lodging, Car Rental or similar purchases?
Yes, but these companies may authorize, or place a “hold” (as described above) for much more
money than the actual cost of the service to be provided. For example, the Rental Car Company
or hotel will not know if they need to charge you for additional expenses like damages or extra
days until you return the vehicle or check-out of the hotel. These authorized funds will be held
and unavailable for you to spend until the final transaction is posted to your card. This means
that you might not have access to these funds for as long as 90 days. To avoid problems our
advice is to first call the company and ask them what their policy is regarding the use of prepaid
debit cards.
CAUTION: Please note we cannot manually release authorizations or holds without a certified
letter or fax from the merchant.
GAS STATIONS, RESTAURANTS, BEAUTY SALONS, LIMOS AND TAXIS
(29)
How do I use my FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card at restaurants and other
businesses that accept “tips”?
These merchants typically place holds for the amount of the bill plus a percentage (typically 20
percent) for the tip or gratuity. If the amount of the requested hold exceeds the amount of
money available on your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card, the transaction may be
declined. After the final transaction settles any excess holds will be removed from your card.
(30)
Can I buy gas with my card?
Yes, but when you use your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Card at a gas station, be sure
to pre-pay the cashier inside before you fill up and tell the cashier the exact amount of gas you
wish to purchase with your FORT BRAGG FEDERAL CREDIT UNION card. CAUTION: Do not
swipe your card at the pump or you may incur a hold of up to $75. We recommend that you
always pay the cashier first for the amount of gas you wish to purchase.
