As I understand it, it's a pre-auth, so you're charged £1 but with £99 reserved - you won't see it anywhere except in your "available to spend" total which will be lower than your balance + overdraft if you have one.

The £1 wasn't charged to me, it was only authorised. It was not debited from my account, but as you say, it was removed from my "Available to Spend". There was no £100 or £99 doing anything, Park Royal Asda is not doing £100 pre-auths. The full £75 fill up is showing as a debit transaction today.
Whilst it will not send you into overdraft, I can see it causing issues if you are running close to the wire and it blocks money you have in credit but can't use. |

you are only charged for what you use at PAP. the authorisation is to check that you have sufficient funds available. some places are different amounts and i know that Morrisons is £100 but some are £1 which is just a token to make sure that your account is active. its up to you to know how much money you have available in your account. if you dont have the £100 then you will have to use somewhere else or PAK. there is no buy now pay later.
BTW the pump cuts off at £100 but you can just return the nozzle and do it all again. this is going to be getting more common with current fuel prices. of course you can always pay by cash....... |

The difference between the two methods is trivial, so do whichever you prefer.

Being a worrier, if I refilled sitting on the bike I would have visions of the pump not shutting off, filling my lap with petrol which then ignites from the static as I slide off the bike and me running around with a burning crotch.
![]() I get off the bike to fill up ![]() (as an aside, I filled up two days ago at Esso and there was a warning on the pump saying that it might not automatically shut off and requested that you be careful)
