Is the £99 pay at pump limit going up any time soon?
Discussion
surely notI hit a personal record £172 fill up in the Cayenne last week!
Made worse by the fact it lasted 3 days and then, filling up at Costco I discovered they still had the max £99 so I then had to go to another station around the corner and it took another £60 to fill again - £330 of diesel in less than a week.

That's pretty painful. 2 weeks ago I had a week away which involved a fair bit of driving, about 1500 miles in a week (in a 4.6L V8 petrol). That wasn't cheap....!Made worse by the fact it lasted 3 days and then, filling up at Costco I discovered they still had the max £99 so I then had to go to another station around the corner and it took another £60 to fill again - £330 of diesel in less than a week.

Could you wait for the first pump to be free, fill to the £99 limit then pull forward to another pump and use that one again? I'ds imagine your card company/bank might get a little suspicious?
I doubt they would to be honest, they'll see it's from a petrol station and the price amount would be different. K50 DEL said:

I use Costco for diesel and I just pay at pump for the 99 and then scan my Costco card again and authorise a 2nd time using the same debit card. Works fine for me Made worse by the fact it lasted 3 days and then, filling up at Costco I discovered they still had the max £99 so I then had to go to another station around the corner and it took another £60 to fill again - £330 of diesel in less than a week.

You can use the same pump immediately after. Never had any problems doing this at Tesco.g3org3y said:

Same here (well, not diesel 
). Not sure why you'd need to f
k about driving to another pump or swapping cards.Dodsy said:
It must depend on the bank , i can only use my natwest card once a day for pay at pump, try a second time it declines the card. I either use another card for the second fill up or go to the kiosk .
Tried this last week in Asda (Nationwide account). No dice, message saying card already used today or something. Needed to go into the kiosk.

I don't think it's a worry for me. I have a nearby Costco where prices are in the 140's for both petrol and diesel. I have a max tank capacity of 62 litres, a 50L, 45L and a 13L tank. Even the 62L tank at 150p would be £93 at the very most. Not that I run my cars down to empty then brim them all the way up, either. Fuel light on (or in the reserve block) then guesstimate half a tank (full for the 13L bike, I'm not that stingy).
