Canadians - Pay at the Pump in the U.S.
Haven't seen this mentioned here yet. Canadians can now pay at the pump at U.S. gas stations where zip code is required with some Canadian credit cards.

Interesting. As mentioned by dieharder, the concept has been around for awhile. My experience and that of others (a number of past threads on this) has been that the postal code thing at the pump works frequently but not always, whether with MasterCard or Visa, but maybe they've expanded the concept since last winter?? I got tired of this a few years back and now put a US address on my BMO US$ MasterCard and the Zip for that works at the pump all the time.
Some interesting posts here: Postal Code instead of ZIP at the pump?
Canadians can also use their debit cards at the pump at some gas stations but there is less fraud protection than provided by a credit card. Some other workarounds: Zip Code Work-Arounds
