Doesn't make sense for the system to say "hmm, they have $274 in the account now. Check. Seven days from now, we'll reverse this charge then charge them again in over 30 days. Hopefully the funds are there then..."
Maybe I'm too logical?
I'm just not sure what the authorization proves/accomplishes.
