Krak card: payment "Authorized" but no cashback

Krak card: payment "Authorized" but no cashback

I have bought some Paysafecard money with my Krak card. The line on the Krak app for this purchase is marked as "Authorized" and I have not received any cashback.

Could you please tell me if that's normal?

On this FAQ page it is stated: "Some merchant, such as gas stations, hotels, car rentals, and ATMs, may place a temporary authorization hold that is higher than the final transaction amount. Please ensure you have additional funds available in your account to cover this hold. Authorization holds are usually released automatically once the merchant completes or cancels the transaction. If an authorization hold does not release after the merchant has completed or canceled the transaction, please contact merchant for assistance."

Is that what's happening here?

I would appreciate if Kraken were to add an additional FAQ point on their website specifically dedicated to listing all the status of a payment (Pending, Authorized, others if any) with their explanations.

EDIT: the "Authorized" has been removed, but there is in fact no cashback if your purchases is of a Paysafecard.

I just would like to report that that is no possibility to deactivate haptic feedback in the 'Preferences' of the Krak app.

On the Kraken and Kraken Pro apps, the haptic feedback setting is available, but not on the Krak app.

Title says it all. I do not plan to add a PIN code/biometric unlock for when I unlock my phone screen, to me it seems like a pure waste of time.

I already have to enter a PIN code when opening the Krak app, why would I also need to have a PIN code/biometric unlock for my screen unlock on top of this to have the rights to see the details of my own virtual Mastercard? I am sure the app does not even ask you for the PIN code/biometric unlock to access these card details, it just prevents you from accessing them if these are turned off.

Is the Kraken team working on making us able to see our virtual Krak cards' details even if we are not using a PIN code/biometric unlock to unlock our phone screen?
