Credit card $.25?

[South_Slope]

I have a couple pending charges on my card for $.25 each. Is this an indication of draw?

Have about 3 weeks before any of that business.

Simple. You take 0.25 and invert it and divide by how many preference points you have and if that equals the take fee, you were drawn.

They make it so simple with that math. Checks out! Looks like I drew a tag I didn't even apply for then.

Looking at the pending charges they are actually not charges and are returns for the $.25.

I noticed this today as well. Does anyone really know what this was?

 

[1989Cohunter]

Maybe it’s a sign lol

25 cents? Must be a resident tag! It'd be $1000 if it was a NR tag!!

Seriously, is it from CO DNR? Often times places of business will send a small charge to check the card prior to the transaction, then refund it. Think gas pump, to prevent someone from filling up, then driving off because the card was declined.

 

[Mallardsx2]

It was a credit to my account.

Seems odd because it only happened once, when I had 12 applications in between the three of us. I guess maybe because I paid for all of the applications with the same credit card.

 

[mlycrzy]

Same. I have two $.25 credits from them on the 7th. I’ve applied the past 8 years and have never seen that before.

a test of the card they intend to charge? so…., hopefully, congratulations.

A charge that small is generally something like making sure the card is chargeable. So you could be right. I can't imagine they'd do that for everyone getting a charge but possibly.

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

They said it wasn't a charge but a credit. I'm not sure what's going on I've never seen it happen to me or anyone I know

 

[Bluehair]

Search and rescue? I think they do it by weight….mine’s $1.00.

 

[FrontRange]

Bingo, the only item CPW charges $0.25 for is the search and rescue fee. But I believe they only charge this for licenses purchased, not applied for.

 

[Bluehair]

So, maybe they run it thru on everything, but back it out of the unsuccessful draws? Do we have our own backdoor? Hey Orion, you have your finger in this one too?

 

[Bubba77]

Oh man
IF your theory is correct and
IF they did run it thru everything (all species applied for)
And I only got one $.025 credit back for what I didn't draw
Then I drew at least one of two super low probability tags
Early season rifle elk or Moose.........I hope you are spot on!

 

[SDBugler]

I'm guessing it is the search and rescue as well. I don't recall if they accidently charged that amount during the application process and are now refunding that fee?

I checked my CC and didn't see any $0.25 refund.
looked back at my original changes and they were $131.07 which is the correct amount $10 elk application fee + $10 deer application fee + $12.15 Habitat stamp + $98.92 hunting license = $131.07

 

[txhunter58]

It says all license INCLUDE those fees. So I interpret that as the small game license includes that. Shouldn’t be a refund for that

 

[Mallardsx2]

Why did I only get 1 $.25 refund when I had 3 peoples applications on my credit card then?

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

One of your three apps probably got thrown out

 

[SDBugler]

If these are "refunds" I'm guessing that somehow their system may have accidently charged for the search and rescue when applying for certain species during the applications?

For those of you that are seeing refunds, have you gone back and confirmed the amount your were charged when you applied?

I doubt a refund would be a sign that someone drew anything, since they send an email if your card is rejected for a charge during the initial draw.

I have 5 in my family and only 2 refunds. Probably over charged somewhere. I have 2 youth and that would line up if charges were wrong for them. No idea though.
