I've never purchased anything from Living Social, but earlier this week they had a pizza deal for a place I've wanted to try, and you got $2 extra dollars off if you watched the trailer for a new television show. I thought I was getting a good deal - $20 gift certificate for $8.
I checked my account this morning, and there is $10 'processing' and $8 and $10 charges listed as holds, all for Living Social. Maybe it will be fixed, but in the meantime it's on my mind and aggravating me. What's the problem? Charge me the $8 that showed up at checkout and be done with it. I don't understand why there are many different charges/holds (3) on my account for one purchase.
Living Social *deal*?

My post may have sounded confusing -- my bank is processing the $10 (along with two half.com deposits), and the $8 and $10 are listed as holds. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two, but I don't think I got charged any extra fee from LS.

GNC did that to me when I ordered vitamins. There was a hold when I ordered, then they billed when the shipment left. The following day the first charge was reversed. Miffed me though, since it was my checking account/debit card!
