The Automated Fuel Dispensers create a preauthorization for $100 on the card, which is returned to the card after the transaction settles. If your card has less than $100 loaded onto it, the authorization will be denied for insufficient funds.
Releasing this authorization can take as long as 30 business days. Your funds are withheld till then. To prevent this preauthorization, which will withhold your funds, the card should not be used at the gas pump cash register terminal.
To prevent the preauthorization on your card, please pay the cashier and advise the cashier of the available balance on your card and the amount for the gas you would like to purchase.
