If I "tap and go" with my debit card the money is on a 72 hour hold
(Australia) before being paid by the bank to the place which is waiting
for the money.
So a person using this system in Australia would not get offered a
match in the matching system, as the minimum time between the
transaction and bank posting is 3 days.
