Yeah… no it wouldn’t. I’ve watched users have their bank accounts emptied (by accident) because they kept refreshing. A measly £150 isn’t going to register until it’s too late anyway.
Maybe if my bank emailed me, otherwise I doubt it. Local gas stations routinely use $200 holds and I'd have to go way out of my way to see it happen.
