People who have used tesco click and collect?

I ordered something yesterday to pick up today at 6 but they've only charged my card £2 and shopping cost around £60. Do they charge it just before it's ready or have they made a mistake?

No they only charge when it's ready.
I'm surprised at the £2.00. I've never seen that before.

[AlisonWunderland]

I think they're now charging £2 for delivery

Click and collect is free. That's odd.

In order to help us validate your payment card, a pre-authorisation amount of £2 is reserved from your account automatically when you check out. Upon validation of this amount, checkout can continue. On the day of delivery, full authorisation takes place whereby the total amount is requested from your bank and the £2 pre-authorisation request removed.

Its just a card validation thing. They don't actually remove the money just reserve it and when full payment goes through the reservation is taken off again.
