I believe they are all now taking £99 as a deposit and holding it against the card before taking the actual amount later. This happened to me when driving through France a couple of years ago, normal over there apparently

I was just reading about Tesco starting to do this. Do they warn you about it beforehand at the pump?

No, used to be a £1 to check card details, but seems this is the norm. Lady posted she did this at local Sainsbury's them went shopping and there wasn't enough money in the account to pay for her food.

Car lease says car has to be serviced according to schedule. So car has to have major service by end of July. Costing £400. Car has to be handed back at end of lease. On 7th August...

More and more are doing it as people clicked you can get 100 quids worth of fuel if you only have 2 quid in your bank. I heard most will be moving to this model, there was an article in muy local rag recently, and your point of the blocking the shopping money was bang on. Some people 100 does them for a long time and they only stick 10quid of fuel per go.
Story here is don't use pay at the pump, go in and pay (Not always possible I know, maybe need better planning or use a different place to get fuel)

Most pumps these days have an option to set the amount of fuel you want. Surely it is not outside the bounds of man to be able to set the amount of fuel and then have the card check for that amount. Maybe one for the future.

I've never come across this in the UK. Good idea, I look forward to it spreading.

Sainsburys do it. set your amount and squeeze the trigger and it stops at that amount. No good for the 'can you stop it in one attempt at 50.00' game!
But that system is not yet linked to the payment, only the dispensing of the fuel. as Greg said, it shouldn't take a genius to piece these bits together!

You would, as pay at the pump is allowing many fuel stations to open 24 hours unmanned. you want fuel at 2AM? try getting some with cash!
