I do know that gas stations usually only authorize about $1 until they withdraw the full amount. That would describe two of the purchases. Vongo probably needed to verify your account and did an authorization of $1 as well. Online purchases do the same as well by only initially charging $1, then you should see the full amount posted within the next 24 hrs. From my experience working in a bank, some authorizations do fall off within a couple of days. Authorizationsare just verifications so if you know you didn’t do that many I would suggest either checking with vongo or the online retailer or waiting it out for the hold to be released.
