My CC was charged on 13th, but it still says "initial review complete, please check status again later..."

Do I have to email the CFO to speed things up? Also I'm in Ontario

Oh wow, awesome man enjoy. I called Miramichi and the guy told me everything is fine just waiting for approval, that was like 2 weeks ago and I check the site like 10 times a day and still nothing. Maybe I should email the CFO, I just didn't want to be a bug and annoy them.
