is this sentence grammatically incorrect?
"If the merchant does not settle until the hold expires, the said amount WILL AUTOMATICALLY CREDIT BACK TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I got a deduction for this. They said it should be "...the said amount will automatically be credited to your account." I know this is better but for the one I wrote, did i really commit an incorrect grammar? Thanks.
