For those who are wondering, yes it did work out ok. I checked my credit card account this morning and Optus did the right thing and did an authorization reversal, I have the credit back. SO RELIEVED!!! It's a bit bad that I had to spazz out and confuse the accounts person at optus, so that they transferred me through to their team leader to get the right thing done, but it's all fixed now, so I'm happy.
The moral of the story is, don't pay bills when you're drunk! Just go to bed!
Now, because of this, I exceeded my credit limit and had to have it increased, but I only increased it just far enough to cover this huge transaction, so I still exceeded it with other transactions made last week that came through on Monday and Tuesday. Then, last night I receive a call from Westpac offering me a free upgrade to my credit card, saying I had been specially selected. So this leads me to believe that by exceeding my credit limit, I popped up on their special lists, saying they should give me more credit to put myself farther in debt .... thanks Westpac, what a great bank you are! The jokes on you though because you wont be getting any interest payments out of me!
