Most likely the money in your checking account is on hold, hasn't just changed hands yet... Wait a couple more days to see what happens and let us know..

I agree with Dave. My bank account is almost always a few days behind the credit card company in posting transactions online. I would give it a few days. You could also call the bank if you are worried. They can usually see the transaction before we can online.

Are you with BoA for both credit and checking? If so, I guess they might have restored your line without necessarily holding the money in your checking... But I'd say they won't let it go either...
