New £100 pre-authorisation fee at petrol stations.

[Lancpudn]

Blimey! has anybody come across these new fees at Tesco & Sainsbury's Pay-at-pump petrol stations?


"The way we buy fuel at pay-at-pump petrol stations is changing - and it's leaving some motorists frustrated.
The small £1 charge that drivers used to pay, to have their debit or credit card approved by forecourt payment stations, is gradually being scrapped in favour of a £100 pre-authorisation check."
Some drivers are complaining "I couldn't work out why I was being charged so much! It's been 7 days and they have still held an extra £58 which I'm waiting to get back" said one driver on facebook, while another explained - "My husband put £30 in and they held £100, took two days for the proper amount to be deducted and the remaining money to be credited again."
