It appears that it is not well known how a Canadian Credit Card can be used at a gas pump in the USA without a zip code.
All you have to do is insert the card and when it asks for the zip code just put in the 3 numbers from your Canadian Postal Code followed by two zeros.
For example my postal code is L9T 0P2, so when purchasing gas and it asks for a zip cope I enter 90200.
Works for me a saves going into the store with the CC.
Hope this helps someone. May not work everywhere but for me going to and coming home from Florida from Ontario this works very well.
We just came up from South Carolina this past week and actually bought gas at three places that had these very instructions posted at the pump. It hasn't been an issue for us for several years now by using the above.
I don't understand why folks get in such a twist.
