Why is there a $100 hold on my card?

Some auctions require you to place a $100 hold in order to participate. We will not charge your card unless you authorize it. 

There are two kinds of credit card holds on Joyride: Vehicle Holds and Auction Holds.

Vehicle Holds

When a vehicle hold is required, bidders must place a $100 hold on their card for each vehicle that they plan to bid on. You can do this by agreeing to the terms and clicking on start bidding.

Auction Holds

When an auction hold is required, bidders must authorize a single $100 hold on their card to participate on as many cars as they wish in the auction. You can do this by clicking authorize hold.

This is to ensure the validity of your payment method. If you do not win any vehicles, the hold will be released after the auction is complete. Depending on your credit card provider, this may take up to 7 days to reflect on your statement.
