Good Sam credit card fuel limits
So is it a credit card thing or a gas station thing that I can only put in 25 gallons before the pump shuts off? Wells Fargo card does the same thing. Yes I know I can just hang up the pump and start ...

When the pump shuts off at the preset limit, that amount is applied to your card account and any subsequent pumping restarts the process. If you don't have enough credit limit or money in your debit card checking account to cover the station limit, your card will be denied.
I've had my card denied for the second or third pumping with $1000's of credit left on the card, so that explanation doesn't hold water. For that reason I always carry a second card when traveling
Yes, there are also many other fraud protections built into both your credit card limits and the fuel stations credit card processing software. Neither you, the fuel station or the credit card company want a thief to be able to fuel his vehicle and the vehicle of a few dozen friends. Sometimes there is a thin line between protection and convenience.
