I had something weird happen today. I received a Costco Citibank notification that I had a charge for an amount that I didn't recognize (~$160), made at costco.com. Just yesterday I used my card on the costco website to order some plumbing fixtures. That amount was for about $220. I received a notification of that charge as well. The notifications say that the card was not present for the charge.
I went on costco.com and the only open order is for yesterday's purchase of $220.
I went on the Citibank website and I see the pending charges for both $220 and $160.
I called Citi and my only option was to cancel the card and get a replacement. I will do that if the charge turns out to be fraudulent. I am just wondering if Costco usually charges the full amount just once, or if they split the charges up like Amazon. My order has two separate tracking numbers. I can't quite make the amounts work, but one item is just about $60, which is roughly the difference between the two amounts ($220-$160), so if they billed per shipment, the amounts could be close. I am trying to figure out what I should be expecting with regards to these charges.
Any ideas? Thanks.
