    Just a warning to those with not a lot of "wiggle" room with your credit limit or account balance to play with:

    Checked my Online Banking this morning and found TWO Temporary Authorizations from Lenovo:

    1 - one on 5/29 when I placed the order
    2 - one on 5/30 which prompted me to call and ask what's going on?
    Turns out the second one is from Lenovo's Credit Card Services that according to the rep means "OK we've checked your account out and now we can send the order to the warehouse".
    I still don't understand why they needed to do it twice.

    Well thank god I have a 25K credit limit on that card because they are holding $2850+ of my money. I would hate for that to be on a Debit Card and not have access to my funds for about 5 days.

    I have been checking my CC that I used and did not see this happen. But at least your order was sent to the warehouse. Apparently, mine is not as they have not charged me twice.
