So a week and a half ago I preordered from an AT&T store and they charged me for the phone. Of course 3 days later the pending dropped off but I haven't been charged since. I picked up my Iphone and during the transaction a charge for the phone was coming up but since I had the reciept of payment they waived it. My question is isn't there suppose to be an automatic re-charge after the phone was shipped or the day of the release (today)?
Got a tip for us?

Yes but it has to be reapplied by AT&T, it doesnt automatically reappear from the banks side. Given AT&Ts situation the last couple of days with calls and shipping troubles, I dont expect a charge for a few more days although the money is sitting in the account either way. I also know, per AT&Ts email, that with online pre-orders they are charging you for the full amount and then giving you an credit for $200, so it will be two separate transactions.
if not.Same thing happened to me. I preordered my phone on the 14th at the ATT store and was charged the 257 then the 16th it was dropped. And just now it shows that i was charged the 257 again. Hopefully this means i will be getting my phone sometime sooon.
I wouldn't celebrate yet. There's a chance AT&T may just apply the charge to your next monthly statement. Especially since they have to modify a bunch of orders to have a $200 credit. They may just keep it simple on their part and apply both to ryour monthly statement.
set the money aside. You still owe it.
