For a whole week though? It was charged......then refunded and went to pending...now totally gone...i thought my order had gotten cancelled until i got a shipping confirmationout the blue....
From my experience, when you order from Nike, you get a 'pre-authorization' charge--to you and I it looks like a normal charge, meaning money out, can't spend it, etc. Normally that charge will stay and turn into a final charge during their processing and shipment.
However, with how slow Nike is shipping, that pre-authorization charge will usually fall off around 5 days. I mean completely fall off, it's like it was never there. That's completely normal, as the pre-authorization charge only changes to a final charge when the item ships.
What's happened to me on 5+pairs i've ordered this pandemic from Nike is that each pre-authorization charge fell off because Nike didn't ship within it's time frame.
They will do a final charge with payment overview email usually the day the shoe is scheduled to arrive. Three times, I didn't get the 'final charge' until the day later. I was hoping to get a free pair each and everytime, but no dice.
Just for comedies sake, what happens if you cancel your CC before you get that final charge? Believe it or not, it will still be charged to your 'closed' account and if you don't pay it, it will go to your CC as a charge off and do some major damage to your credit.
The ONLY time , i've heard of people getting luck'ed with free pairs is when they do that double-shipment with identical tracking/order numbers. I've never hit that lottery, but heard many have.
