<prompt> Human: I am relatively new to credit cards and was wondering how to dispute a restaurant mistakenly charging my card twice for a meal. The charge was only for 7.69 and I am curious what steps I should take to rectify this charge. The restaurant is not near me and the purchase was made when I was traveling. Would it be worth the trouble? Im a little lost and am not sure where to start.Assistant: How recent was the charge? Wait at least a couple days before calling to see if it comes off your account on its own. Some vendors do two separate transactions for a sale. One to verify you have the funds, then one to actually complete the sale. Then the first verification comes off of the account a couple days later. Human: It is still listed as a pending charge. I will wait until it is permanent before calling. Thanks for the advice.  <response>: Youll probably get a bunch of weird pending charges when using your credit card. Dont be too worried about pending charges, but keep monitoring them until they post or disappear. For example, when I pay for gas with my CC, even though I only buy 50 worth of gas, Ill get a pending charge for 100. One a bad transaction is actually posted, thats when you need to take action.
