It makes no difference to me as I tend to have more than £100 in the account. Equally, it'd be fine if I had an overdraft on that account. |

Re: Do you refuel on the side stand or centre stand/centred?
only Morrisons or Asda i think that do that value. My local Tesco only subs £1 when you process it. For the bike it would be inconvenient, but for my car it would jsut about cover it (£95 to fill up)

Re: Do you refuel on the side stand or centre stand/centred?
I'm sure I remember filling my Fazer whilst sat on it, but the couple of times I've filled the SV, I've done it on the side stand, mainly so I don't clumsily clonk the tank with the nozzle and damage it.

If you use a CREDIT card the contract is between the retailer and the card company. It is very unlikely a credit card company will not honour the contract hence they don't need to lay claim to the max amount. The card company pay the bill then you have to settle up with them, not the retailer. I know that in France the law regarding an individual not paying (e.g. writing a bouncy cheque) is a serious offence and will result in your bank account being seized etc., hence the measures to ensure the payment will be made. I never use a debit card at a fuel pump. I may be wrong on some of the detail, others will correct if necessary.

Re: Do you refuel on the side stand or centre stand/centred?
I filled up as ASDA on Friday last week using Pay at Pump. It came up on the screen that Mastercard (credit) changing the way they processed the transaction and would do the allocate the funds then adjust after thing.
Guess not everyone has been paying their cc bills.

Who is the "they" in this case? I filled up the car at Asda on the way home tonight, the pump "approved £1" and then let me fill up. I currently have one "pending card authorisation" for £1 for Asda showing on my bank account. The full £75 is nowhere to be seen, let alone £100. |

Always filled up astride, when I fuel my van I absolutely neck it (cos DPF additive)

As Embee mentions earlier, "The account is corrected after the sale/payment has been completed, that may take a short while." However, the short while may be a few hours or in some cases, several days, which is not good if you're close to your credit limit or low on funds in the current account. |

Ok, I must be lucky then, I've never seen £100 authorisation come up on a pump, only only £1.

Re: Do you refuel on the side stand or centre stand/centred?
It's a relatively new introduction - to protect against drivers filling up without having enough funds in their account to pay.
