i've never had that before, are they trying to cheat me here or is it like a pre-authorization that will clear out because on the CC receipt it does say offline transaction
To my knowledge, you're not supposed to get hit with a pending that doesn't match the actual.
There are Visa penalty fees associated to mismatching transaction amounts. No retailer / owners wants those.
