Pump says it may place a hold on your card above the actual amount of gas you pump. Went to fill up yesterday. Knew I had around $50 on the debit card. Scanned the card but pump didn't turn on. Was trying to figure out what was wrong. Slip came out Card declined. So I recheck my account. They hit me with $101 gas bill and never pumped a drop. Put my account into overdrawn status. So I transferred money into it and filled up which they billed me for instantly. This morning the money was back in my account. 💁‍♂️

Yup, they will charge you over so that they know they got you. It makes charge backs more difficult for the customer.

I got in a deal like that in NM . The card reader wasn't working at the pump , so they charged me up front more than I needed then after I pumped he credited my card and put in the correct amount. I kept all receipts and checked it on my on-line banking and it was correct when all done. Sounded a little tricky , but just turned out to be a hassle that could have been avoided .

It might be that the initial part is the “authorization” that ensures there is enough room on the card to pay what you pump. They have to go higher since it’s not known beforehand how much you will get. The last part is the “capture” which settles up based on what you actually bought. I *think* an eating joint authorizes the total before tips and captures the total amount later after the tip is known. I also *think* that most places settle these transactions in “batches” in the evening at some point. Ours at work (mostly business to business) settles at 8 or 9 pm.

Circle K SUCKS:

- they took over a perfectly nice Kangaroo store near us and ruined it
- completely nasty
- workers suck
- place is a wreck
- gas pump speakers blare commercials at you at ridiculous volume
- gas pump makes you decline stupid membership clubs and other crap before you actually pump gas
- bags of ice are half the size they used to be and are priced awful, make it a non-option for ice

There's probably more I'm forgetting.

^^This.^^

I refuse to buy from them. I can’t buy from them with my company fuel card. It declines the card every single time. Don’t know if the company has some way to keep them from charging extra like that and that’s what causes the problem or what.

That's a normal process. It happens at every gas station. They set a limit and you don't have to stop pumping and reinsert your card..

It was one of the ways I made Barber Co more money at their racetrack. Raised the hold to $250 for the Porsche Driving experience so they would stop going down the road to fill up. Pissed off some scca guys, but the gas co paid us like 25 cents a gallon in commission, so the small guy got kicked to the curb.

When they put in new pumps at the cowboys on 280, they had it set to $50 bucks. That's a pita when gas was $4 a gallon.
