Honestly no clue, different vendor than the card was setup for.
This was during a big wave of unauthorized activity being attempted on their cards as well, a lot of friends reported blocked charges for random amounts at like a retirement/hospice home(?) at the time.
This was like 3+ years ago, and my only guess now (read: can't remember if this is true) is that the card had never been charged to the merchant, only pre-authed. But even then I'd expect the pre-auth to lock it to a merchant.

- flutas 4y agoThanks for digging that up! I knew they made a post about it. Didn't notice before that they tried to say they "made (everyone) whole". Maybe they think that not sending me to collections after I stopped the payment at the bank and closed my account is "being made whole."
