Paying with credit card-common app submission delayed-YIKES!?

<p>What's the deal with the common app and paying by credit card? When DS submits his applications, there is a "warning" that comes up saying it takes 2 days to process payment and the colleges won't receive his application until the payment goes through. </p>

<p>Does this mean his applications will be LATE or do the schools see that he uploaded it on the 29th? He still has 2 more to finish and thought he had until the 31st or the 1st to submit them but if the application doesn't go through without the payment, he would have to finish them today? Has anyone else seen this message about the 2 day delay? Would we still have a delay if we used a debit card instead? He is working on the supplements so should he submit the common application part now and finish the supplements in the next 2 days? Would that solve the payment delay? Oops, now I see one of the schools requires the supplement be submitted first so that won't work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>He’s fine.
