Asda Fuel Deposit
Discussion
Looks like some of us bikers are going to need to have a constant £99 deposit in the bank. Personally I don't use Asda, I use Tesco for the Momentum fuel but it seems to be only a matter of time before follow suit. Filling up every 2 or 3 days will now be more of a pain, only because we'll have to get off the bike and go pay at the till. Not the end of the world but it'll give us brits something to moan about 
Non story.
If you read beyond the daft moaning
in that story, it goes on to say that it is just Visa ands MasterCard ensuring people can pay for the fuel when paying at the pump, and applies to all Petrol stations.
You can still fill up and pay inside if you don't have £99 left on your credit/debit card.

We have a very large ASDA close to us. 1) it' does not do Super.
2) So I gather than possibly meant ASDA don't do Super (if you use it) Which I do. Plus any asda I have filled up at does not do Super
3) if you don't use ASDA why worry?
4) Again Eh with the £99 deposit.
5) Asda do pay at the pumps so no need to get off the bike if you use ASDA
all visa and mastercards will soon pre authorise at £99 when paying at pump
Asda is just the first but others won’t be far behind

Who puts £5 in their car at a time?!

It would be a bit of a pain if you only want £25 of petrol because you have less than £99 in your bank account but it's hardly the biggest motoring issue since Chris Evans did Top Gear!

Mrs DogStar, that's who.Going anywhere and she's always in a rush/late she will stop, lob about 5 quids worth of fuel in and zoom off. Every journey. If I get in her car it's empty. Every time. Does my head in.
Having a car that does an average 21mpg doesn't help either.
Had this in Menorca last year, topped up a scooter with a few euros worth and had 99 euros charged, then 6 euros charged, then 99 euros returned all within a couple of minutes. It was a bit confusing, especially as my Spanish isn't great, but was OK when I checked my account online. Don't know what would have happened if I didn't have the 99 euros on my card though, it was an unmanned station so no other options to pay.
Any idea why it takes so long to come out of bank anyway? I assume it uses a slightly different system than that of the tills. An ideal design would be for the machine to have the relevant permissions to check the current balance then limit the amount of fuel based on that, obviously they can't do that for whatever reason.
