Problem Using Out of State Credit Card at Pump
Well, this is a new one for me. Lately when I attempt to use my credit card (Visa) at various gas stations here in Hickory, NC the card gets rejected once I enter my zip code. The screen on one pump even said my zip code wasn't legitimate although I've been using it for years.
The fact that my zip code is from South Dakota and I'm in NC may have something to do with it. The clerk at one station even mentioned that other out-of-towners were having the same difficulty.
It's a real pain to now have to pay inside the station at the register, guesstimating how much fuel I'm going to use. So far I've been pretty good at this. I wonder if this is the same situation in other states? Pay at the pump is now pain at the pump! Are any of you finding the same situation?
