They are making money on your interest.
Think about it, if they held £40 from every £100 sale across the UK. Currently its accepted that base daily interest in the UK is 0.1% So that £60 spent makes them 40p. Or if you only buy £10 then that makes 90p So that sounds like about nothing right? UK average is about 17000 litres of petrol & diesel a day UK GOV figures for my statements So let's say a Tesco sells 17000 litres per station a day..... And they pull £100 each time.... That's £1.7 million quid. And if they return even 90% of that as they where all £10 sales each time as an example, they will have still managed to make 0.1 of £153,000 purely on interest alone. Per station. Per day. That folks, is disgusting. They have over 600 UK stations.

They'll be raising that limit again if the price of the stuff is anything to go by https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/car...ight-year-high

It’s not only supermarkets that are at it. The Esso app on smart phones does the same. I’ve not noticed how long it takes to sort itself out but it’s £100 every time you pay
