I attempted to download the Mario Kart 8 DLC the other day because my girlfriend wanted to play as link.

So, I attempted to pay for the DLC one and two pack using a Visa gift card I received for Christmas.

I tried it two times thinking I might have gotten the information wrong, but both times my card was rejected.

I had already paid for other things with the card so I assumed that it was because it was asking me for information such as the name of the card holder and a zip code.

So, I registered the card so that it would have those things.

I paid for the DLC and it worked perfectly, but after checking my Visa balance it says I made three purchases of the DLC.

Two of them say "Pending..." so I am hoping this means they will be refunded, but it has been almost a week since then and nothing has changed on my balance.

I know they will most likely be refunded, but it has almost been triple the amount of days the refund should have taken.

I'm a bit worrysome.

Here is a screenshot of the charges. http://i.imgur.com/v8U0yaG.png

Should I be worried if the charges are still held after a week?

I contacted Nintendo and they said the longest they have heard of a credit company holding money from one of their orders is about a month and that with time it should be fine.

Then again anytime something like this has happened to me it has usually been refunded within 24 hours of the purchase, so this isn't helping my nerves much.

I'm going to contact Visa just to make sure the money is only being held, but the last time I contactacted a company about a gift card (American Express) I got somebody on the phone that I could not understand and didn't want to help me at all.

Fingers crossed.

I have like 50 things cycling through in the background, this is only one of them.
