$50 limit on fuel with debit card ?

[KDUBCR250]

Went to fill up my truck today and the pump stopped at $50 I thought WTF ! Anyways why would they do that ? $50 isnt even a half tank in my ride so I pulled out went to the next station and put another 50 in lol. With gas prices how they are its B.S.Credit cards I can see because or thieves but debit you have to punch in your code!

Yea, Speedway had been like that for a while. It's very inconvenient. I am going to start going to Shell because of this.

What are you driving?

I've had a couple station managers tell me that it's the card companies, not the stations that are setting the limits. Clearly some stations have a higher limit than others, though, so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

My ride 7.6 MPG lol but I only live 6 miles from work plus I have a ranger and a F350 diesel

Right. Visa is $50 and Mastercard is $75. Not all stations have limits. I do know Speedway does though. I got $60 at the pump this morning at Shell, no problem.

I got $75 at Speedway but the pump stopped at $100 at the BP.

I wonder if it is regional? I'm in Lake County and never had had a pump stop at $50 at any station I've tried.

My guess is you have a Mastercard? Visa stops at $50.

Ooooo! NICE!

Yeah my corporate card stopped at $100 today. Was annoying but I think I was close to full anyway.

When the pump shuts off just hang up the nozzle, reswipe your card, and start fueling again. Unless you want to go to another station.

+1 - Saw a sign at a station instructing you to just reswipe.

I do not buy gasoline at Speedway or it's parent company Marathon. They perpetuate the high gas prices in this area and set the price that their competitors follow.

All pumps did have the 50 CC limit but now, my Visa allows me either 75 or 100 dollars per visit. I can't remember, but I know that I have put 75 on it but it was full, 1/2 tank. I'll check next gas visit :rolleyesedit: Weird that it would be a per store policy and not a set CC limit on the brand of card. My little Suzuki which was 15 for a fill up is not almost 60 as you all know so very well.

Thanks for the tip - When I, or if I buy my gasoline for the farm, I usually buy about an additional 50 gallons (diesel & gas). I think my bush hogging and grass cutting will be minimal this season

The Krogers here in Huntington was like that for some time, The last time I filled up there it was changed and I filled up for $65.00.
