Visa being reviewed-how long till I can book?

Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Los Angeles and I arrive next Sunday night, keep in mind I've had this account for 2 years but this is my first time trying to book something. I've been trying to book a place to stay but after I put in my visa information the site asked me to send a copy of my last credit card statement which I did. It's been more than a day now, and I'm still not able to book anything because whenever I try to book a place it sends me to a screen that says "We’re reviewing your billing statement for Visa ****. There’s nothing else you need to do right now." I'm just wondering how long it takes for them to review the information since It's very urgent for me to book ASAP.

Thanks 🙂

I am having this same issue. It told me it would take 24 hours to verify and i am getting anxious as my trip is very soon, and dates are getting filled up.... its making me very nervous.

I don't have any experience with pending verifications of what you're describing. As a host my experience is that where not already done, guests have 24h for their payment method to be verified or payment go through or profile verified. A large part of these usually get it within 12h.

 

If you're having problems you can

Good luck!
