    FJ allowed me a $100 purchase, but charged what the pump read. Once at another stop, the pump shut off at $99.99 I was required to talk to the cleric , to reset the pump so I could swipe again to top off. but it quit again at $99.99 I talked to the cleric again, swiped again and it quit at $6.50.

    I checked our CC balance each night that we had wifi at our local credit union on line, no problems from any of the fuel stops we made.


    Reminds me of the time at Costco when I had the pump shut off at $100. Re-swiped and started the pump to get a whole $0.50 in. I couldn't even click more in. Still laugh about it.

    I've seen holds of $75 to $100 when I've used my debit at the local grocery store stations (10 cent discount). Never seen more than $1 hold on a credit card.
