Filled the car up with Petrol this morning - £80 ish. Did the pay at the pump thing, put my debit card in but it didn't ask for my pin number as it usually does. Said card approved so I brimmed it.
Got a receipt printed which says paid by card number ending #### - didn't put the numbers like the other receipts have.

Checked my balance and it doesn't show it debited like it usually does. Reckon I've got a tank full of free petrol or do you think I'll get a nice letter in the post from Tesco saying I owe them some moola?

It will usually take a day or 2 to show up on your account.

I would suggest you keep a minimum available balance that is a couple of quid greater than the value of the fuel you bought this morning.

No, the only way any cheeky sod can use a stolen card in a "Pay at Pump" is if they have the pin.......

Rick, you sure you didnt enter your pin?
Was it early?
Still sleepy?

Don't count out a knock on the door from the boys in blue if they look at the CCTV and match the times up.

Older petrol stations used to be like that, never had to put the pin number in, newer ones you need to put them in.

Ones round here you can put up to £99 in on Pay @ Pump.

Did you say that the receipt has the same card number to your card?

Don't count on it. They all do that - for some reason with pay at pump things it just takes a few days to be debited.

I'm on my way, spending 250 euros for a free tankful worth 20 is an obvious bargain Cool

I've always had to enter my pin since chip and pin was introduced for pay at pump, it often says limited to £60 but it'll go past it, £60 used to be 60 litres but it wouldn't fill half your tank these days.
