ivan, the same thing happened to me. When I called my credit card company to complain, they said that some petrol stations will charge RM200 straightaway, and then credit back the balance a few days later.

I didn't understand why, but they assured me it's a common practice. I would just avoid whichever petrol station did that.

ronnie, I have no issue paying cash when I pump petrol.

meh. not an issue. I burned up so many points through the years from never ever redeeming my credit card points.

What's the point of redeeming the crap "gifts" most banks offer? I don't need an electric kettle, or a cheap coffee maker. I wouldn't even give one of those away to a friend.

The points that are about to expire aren't enough to redeem for anything worthwhile.

That was the point I was trying to make. I only use my credit card for fuel, so it's not as if I accumulate a massive amount. Over time, it probably does amount to a lot, but the unredeemed values that expire honestly won't get me much.

So flame away.
