I dont like the fact CCs deduct 200Rm when you swipe. Then only return the balance like almost 2 weeks later...

I think depending. You swipe at counter vs swipe at pump.


Also which CC also?

i mean if you swipe at the counter, they wont keep the rm200 credit.

Ok. Which means ask them to allow to pump, then swipe later.

Only some stations dont allow this. They scared, after you pump, you run away... haiz

Its not misappropriate though. Its just reserve amount. You may pump until RM200 if you like .

In this age and time, they should refund you the unused reserve account immediately. Rather than hold it for some time...

means go swipe at the counter instead of at the pump. when you swipe at the counter, the amount you pump will be based on the exact amount you swiped. so there will be no rm200 on hold.

Correct. I am only saying some petrol stations dont allow you to pump first. They expect you to pay in cash before they allow you to pump.

when you swipe your cc rm50 at the cashier, it means you paid rm50 and you can pump rm50 petrol into your car.

Yes that is one way i guess.
better make sure you can pump rm50 fully. If not refund would be a problem.

If I pump BHP, I will pass my card to them and tell them full tank. Then after pumping, go in and sign for the exact amount I pump.

The reason I do this is because the pump CC terminal doesn't accept AMEX.

Noted. Will try that next time. In that case, should be no problem.
