Download the dispute form and follow the procedures pertaining to your Prepaid Card type:
Disputes are subject to time limits which vary between 30 and 120 days after the date they appear in your transaction history.

How long will it take to be reimbursed for unauthorized charges?
Approximately 45 – 60 days.
When you swipe your prepaid card at the pump of a gas station, oftentimes the gas station will place a hold (an "authorization") of up to $125.00 (or equivalent) on your card prior to you filling up. The actual amount purchased will be processed on the card at a later time, but the initial hold may last for 3-7 days before being released, minus the amount of gas that was purchased. During the time that the hold is in effect, the funds being held will be unavailable for you to use.
If you wish to use your Prepaid Card to purchase gas, we recommend going into the gas station to specify the amount of gas you wish to purchase in advance so that only that amount is held.
Some other merchants may have similar practices and even longer maximum pre-authorization timeframes. These include hotels and cruise lines (up to 30 days), car rental agencies (up to 60 days) and financial services (up to 10 days). In some cases, the merchant may be able to release the pre-authorization earlier than the maximum allowed holding time upon request.
Why is a transaction still outstanding?
If you notice a transaction under the status “outstanding purchase”, the merchant has not yet cleared the transaction. Transactions are usually cleared by the merchant shortly after the purchase was made.
However, some merchants such as gas stations, hotels, or cruise lines for example may pre-authorize a larger amount than the initial purchase and keep a hold on the funds for a longer time. These transactions will remain “outstanding purchases” until the merchant releases the funds and clears the transactions.
Can I dispute an outstanding purchase?
Please note that you will not be able to dispute a transaction if the status is still “outstanding purchase”. However, the merchant should be able to release the funds early. In order to have the funds released, please refer to section below.
How to release Pre-Authorised transaction?
If you would like to have the funds released earlier than the usual time frame, please follow the instructions below:
The merchant will need to fax a pre-authorisation release letter to Hyperwallet Systems Inc. at +1 604 482-0091.
The letter will need to be sent directly from the merchant and will also need to be on company letterhead. The following information must be included for the authorisation to be released:
If the pending authorization is from a car rental, the merchant will also need to supply a copy of the closed contract (showing that the car has been returned).
If the pending authorization is from a hotel, the merchant will also need to supply a copy of the closed folio (showing check in/check out).
