Hold
Explanation:
A hold is a reserve placed on a consumer's credit limit or debit balance to cover the final, as-yet-unknown amount of a transaction. Holds are likely to occur when you use your card at gas stations, restaurants, hotels, or other locations where the total transaction amount can vary due to tips, tabs, and the size of your gas tank. Holds may be lifted within minutes, hours, or days. Also called "Blocks."
