I will say this for them, they have a fast response time to scathing emails…

Dear CheapTickets Member,

Thank you for contacting CheapTickets®.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Please note that the error 1800 means that: “Your credit card number is invalid. Please re-enter the number or try a different card. Please note that some debit cards will not work for online purchases.”

With regards to you query, please note that the $9.98 may be a soft charge, it is a temporary authorization that will automatically drop off your account within seven days, if not sooner. A soft charge is when CheapTickets asks for funds from a credit card / debit card company but
does not actually charge the card. By doing this the funds are taken out of the available credit on the card but not included in the balance that you need to pay to your credit card / debit card company.

Soft charges ‘Fall off’ or are added back to the available credit after 7 - 10 days. For further information, please call your credit card / debit card company.

For your reference, the following credit cards are acceptable on Cheaptickets Web site:
- American Express
- Carte Blanche
- Diners Club
- Discover
- MasterCard
- Visa

The credit card must:
* have a billing address in the United States, Puerto Rico or U.S.
Virgin Islands;
* be issued by a bank or company based in the United States, Puerto
Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands.
