FAQs

Can you get gas with no money on my debit card? ›

For debit card users, even when they are using the card like a credit card, they must still have that amount in the bank account.

Gas stations can only appear as light commercial. There are no dense commercial gas stations. If you put those light commercial zones on medium or large roads or roads with a higher volume of traffic, this makes it more likely gas stations will spawn.

Since pumping gas is an open-end purchase, gas stations will typically pre-authorize your payment card for a larger amount to ensure that your card has enough funds to cover the amount of gas you'll leave with. This pre-authorization is typically $100.

Declined fuel purchase attempts are generally the result of swiping the card at the pump or the cashier unsuccessfully authorizing the card for an amount available on the card.

Paying at Gas Stations

To avoid this issue, pay for the amount of gas you'd like at the register before you pump. If you have free overdraft coverage enabled, a gas station authorization hold may use your overdraft balance.

Citizens in Cities: Skylines 2 feel this way too. A good strategy to provide enough customers for stores and vice versa is to place commercial zones near residential zones. Citizens don't have to travel too far, and the commercial buildings will get enough customers due to their proximity.

The Cities Skylines 2 release date is set for October 24, 2023 for PC only. Sadly, it was confirmed on September 29 that the game's release onto PS5, Xbox Series X, and Game Pass has been delayed to Spring 2024.

The way this works is by the gas station sending what is called a “pre-authorization charge” of $1 in the case of credit cards, and up to $75 in the case of most debit cards. If that charge is approved without throwing up any red flags, the gas station's pump will become active for you to start filling up your car.

Why did I get charged $150 for gas? ›

It's called a "pre-authorization hold, " and they are getting bigger as gas prices rise. Kroger, the nation's largest grocery chain, raised the temporary hold from $125 to $150, meaning you must have $150 in your checking account to buy gas with a debit card. Luckily, the charge was removed 24 hours later.

You're filling up your tank with gallon after gallon of expensive gas with a credit card that may later get declined. The gas station doesn't know the final amount of your purchase when it approves your credit card. So the gas station runs a $1 preauthorization charge through your card as a placeholder.

Please note that when you pay by debit card without using a PIN, some gas stations put a hold of up to $75 on your card. That means that up to $75 of your checking account can be off limits (in addition to the price you paid for gas). The time of the hold can vary and depends on your bank.

If you prepay too much for gas with a credit card, you will only be charged for the purchase amount and the remainder of the prepaid amount will not be charged to your card. The gas pump will stop when you reach the prepaid amount or when the tank is full.

If you don't have enough funds in your account, the transaction will be declined. When you choose to run your debit card as credit, you sign your name for the transaction instead of entering your PIN. The transaction goes through Visa's payment network and a hold is placed on the funds in your account.

Purchase gas for your car, and you may incur an additional overdraft fee for the fuel purchase. Although some banks limit the number of overdraft fees that a customer can incur in one day, including PNC, not paying attention to your bank balance and making multiple purchases may result in multiple fees.

Don't worry if you don't have £99 available in your account. With the new approach, your card issuer will tell us the maximum amount you can spend during the pre-authorisation process. This amount will then be the maximum you can spend on fuel, so you'll never go overdrawn.
