Holding style charge on petrol pump cards

I buy more or less everything on a credit card too. But settle the bill in full each month. Mainly because of the extra layer
of buyer protection and harvesting Avios points. My two nearest petrol stations are Esso, and I go there for convenience,
the premium fuels they sell and the clubcard points. I rarely darken Asdas door for any reason tbh. The nearest one is HUGE
and I can't be arsed to trawl through 80% of the stuff they sell that I wouldn't buy anyway, including their fuel.

only problem I can see is if I stick a tenner in a few days before payday to tide me over til payday then I will be fucked if they try taking 99 quid out (or ring fenced)

back to using a cash point and then holding up people while i wait behind donald who is doing his weekly shopping in the petrol station again then to pay cash at the til

From what I've read the £99 is ringfenced, the fuel cost is taken then the £99 ringfence disappears.

The article also said that if people didn't have £99 in their bank then they could only spend what they had in the bank (fuel would cut off at the once that's reached).

I do like how it's mostly the poor and stupid complaining.

I read it as a probe to see if you have the maximum funds available.
If not, it lets you have whatever you have in your account.
Not entirely sure what all the fuss is about tbh.

She was just trying to get her eyebrows discovered. Also who puts a fivers worth in a car this side of 1985?

Been using pay at the pump pre authorisation £99 for years in my car for business and on the bike, never had 1 problem ever ever, and I do check my accounts every week.
So has someone really had a problem with it or is it just noticing suddenly that this is what happens now. I
If you don't have £99 in your account and you pole up to a pay at the pump for petrol and express outrage when it wont give you any then you are a fuckwit.
It is usual abroad, will become the norm here because if you have the misfortune to have to go in the place to pay, weave your way round the slalom of chocolates, crisps, chewing gum etc get in the queue behind 10 other people and finally get to the geriatric cashier you will see loads of photocopied CCTV pics of chavs cars who have done runners. That's why we have it.

Selling eyebrow paint and rollers is big business, someone is making a lot of money!

[el_oso]

perhaps I'm being to simple...

Couldn't you pre-charge an amount determined by you, the customer, which will allow you to dispense up to that amount. If you can't fill the remaining it auto refunds the difference. Maybe I just live in a world where things makes sense and politics and money grabbing scams don't run the world....

Why £99? When fuel prices were high, the fuel gauge had to be pretty low for me to fill up the work van with £100 worth of diesel (it was a game I played...), I've not got near that amount in years though.

Aaaaand it's gone....

Asda has suspended a controversial £99 petrol pump deposit trial after an outcry from customers.

Those using pay-at-the-pump facilities at certain petrol stations were debited £99 on top of their fuel purchase.

Asda said the deposit was a holding charge to ensure customers had enough money to pay for their fuel.

But following the backlash, Asda said it would "suspend" the scheme pending review because "we always want to do the right thing for our customers".

Still, eyebrow lady got her fifteen minutes of fame. Whilst we're on the subject of eyebrows, have some monobrows: https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/8xkwma/in-celebration-of-the-female-monobrow
