Step-by-Step Solutions

đŸ’ŗ Why was my card declined? â–ŧ

Cards are typically declined for one of these reasons:

  1. Insufficient funds or credit limit - Verify your available balance.
  2. Incorrect billing address - Ensure it matches your bank's records exactly.
  3. Bank fraud protection - Your bank may have flagged the transaction. Call them to approve.
  4. Expired card or wrong CVV - Double-check the details on your payment form.
💡 Tip: Prepaid cards and virtual cards are often restricted for booking services. Use a standard Visa/Mastercard/Amex for best results.

If your card is still declining after verifying these details, contact our support team with your last 4 digits and transaction ID.

❌ Transaction failed but money was held â–ŧ

When a booking fails mid-process, your bank may place a temporary authorization hold. This is normal.

  • Holds typically release within 3-7 business days depending on your bank.
  • You will not be charged if the booking did not confirm.
  • Do not cancel your card to speed this up; it may delay the release.
⚠ī¸ If the hold hasn't released after 10 business days, provide your statement date and transaction reference to our support team for escalation.
↩ī¸ Where is my refund? â–ŧ

Refunds are processed as follows:

  • BookEase processing: 1-2 business days after cancellation confirmation.
  • Bank/Provider processing: 5-10 business days after we initiate it.
  • Refunds return to the original payment method. We cannot change the refund destination.
