Why would I have a denied transaction with my prepaid visa card?

Question

I bought one of those walmart cards, and i have fund available, and for some reason the transaction is still being denied. i dont wish to pay the $2.00 fee to talk to the speacialists... can you help? Why is my card being denied when the requested amount of the transaction is was under my available balance? This is the temporary card, i will get my permenent card in 7-10 Biz days.

Answer 1

It's quite possible there are other authorizations pending on the account, which would make your available credit less than your balance.
