Can not pay with my Credit Card but it keeps showing up on my temporary Transactions like 8 times. I don't know what to do!

I am currently overseas and I only have one credit card that can be used overseas. For some reason it keeps showing up errors. But when I check my account, it says that there are 8 temporary transactions. What do I do?

Are you trying to pay your tax or your TurboTax fees?

The temporary or pending transactions are not actual charges. They should disappear in a few days if they are not confirmed. So I wouldn't worry about them unless they actually get posted. But I wouldn't keep trying to use that card.

I'm not sure why a particular credit card can or cannot be used overseas. Try using a U.S. credit card that cannot be used overseas. If you're paying your TurboTax fees, I'm pretty sure that TurboTax processes it as a transaction in the U.S., even though you are not sitting in the U.S. when you enter it.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it eventually went away, it sure gave me a heart attack after seeing those transactions. I eventually had to borrow my dad's credit card to pay for everything which went through just fine.
