Anything that isn't direct person to person seems to have some kind of wait to it, although if I directly pay a friend 100 it's instant. permalink fedilink source parent [–] intrapt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 child) Unless it's a weekend, then they might hold it until monday (or even tuesday). I work in a petrol station in the UK and we have a sticker a bit like the one in the post on our pumps, but no-one ever seems to read it (or any of the health and safety signs, for that matter). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] foggy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago It's to curb gas theft. They're making sure you can fill the RV before you fill the RV. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago It might mostly be the banks, but I know of one gas station near me that hits that max hold, and then seconds after I’m done filling, the charge quickly switches to 30 or so dollars I put in. Whereas the other gas station that hold stayed there for almost a day. My guess is intermediary card processors play a part as well. I also learned place number 2 sells fake BIC lighters, so I don’t go there anymore. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago That's normal. Although here it's usually £100. Which is good because my card caps out at £100 daily permalink fedilink source parent
