Today I filled up the car .. a painful event that has unfortunately become all too common for all of us.
This evening we were at Home Depot and picked up a ton of things and when we went to pay the cashier said our card was declined.
I told her to try it again .. once again .. declined !!
While I was getting another card out to pay with, she casually asked if we had purchased gas recently. I said yes that this morning I had done that.
She said that was probably what the problem was. She then proceeded to tell me that the gas stations now put a hold of $125.00 on your card for up to 48 hours when you purchase gas !!!
I had NO clue that this was going to be done and I am really angry right now.
When we got home I went online and checked and sure enough .. there is a $125.00 charge from the gas station. It was 55.03 to fill up NOT $125.00.
Has anyone else run into this?
I am so spitting mad right now I just don't even know where to start so if anyone has an idea for me as to where I might start my contacts - besides the gas station - in the morning I sure would appreciate it.
