Old school, eh?
Some places are getting pumps which take cash. Most others won't turn the pumps on until you pay. I always fill my tank so paying at the register means that you get to stand in line twice. Before pay at the pump, you were expected to leave your card with the minimum wage cashier. No WAY that's going to happen. It was also before Al invented the internet, so you didn't know about fraudulant activity until your statement came, 3-6 weeks later.Old school, eh?
Why not pay at the pump? Seriously. A credit card that earns cash back, that you pay off each month, costs you nothing, is much more convenient, and actually makes you a little extra money each time you use it. Plus, you don’t have to stand in line behind the scratch off crowd.
No card readers on the pumps? And I thought I lived in the boonies.
Though too often they are out of order.My credit card shows immediately when there is a charge put on it. So you know longer have to have that fear of somebody using your card without your knowledge. In most cases it’s instantly sent to my phone but sometimes in poor reception areas it’ll come a few minutes later.
They left a message on our home phone. My wife called and got it released. Works like it’s supposed to.
I would consider it, except that I don't know how.
I know. Yet I have never bought one, and honestly don't know how to do so. As near as I can tell you wait until the busiest time of the day, and make everyone wait while you "pick your numbers."
