Alright, at the pump stations, you can either pay cash at the counter or you swipe your credit card at the fuel pump.

I wish to opt for the latter option. And I wish to select a fixed amount to pump. Say, RM40.


I think this is doable, considering you'd have buttons next to the credit card slot.


However, can anyone, enlighten us on how to use it ?

just go over the counter and ask them to cahrge the exact amount

Use PRESET option when swiping ur card at terminal

every brand use different method, tell us which brand of fuel you use first.

serious??

petronas, u can see the keypad on the right

press $ then press intended amount, such as rm50 then enter

then fill up

Petronas


tried. put in the debit card, but terus accepted and then say please fill in pump. no mention to put in the amount.

It didnt mention. Just key in the amount you need then press enter. After that angkat nozle la.

Before or after putting in the credit/debit card?

after put credit card, has been authorized,, then key in intended amount

Me using Petron.

Press PRESET, set the amount, then swipe ur card. Once approved, lift the nozzle and fill her up

should be preset first, enter card, pump in

how about BHP?

problem is now not always exact amount tangki full edy

Ok another question, if TS don't mind me interjecting your thread LOL.

I am not sure if you all are aware of this or not.
When we use our CC at the CC machine at the pump, why does our card got charged RM200 for 8 days per transaction, then later after the 8 days have passed, Rm200 is credited back to our cc?

Example:

You fill in RM50 fuel for full tank.
Then you got charged RM200 for 8 days.

You fill in Rm5 fuel for motorbike also, kena charged RM200 for 8 days, then the credit released back.

Now my question is:

What's the main reason banks do this kind of faggotory??
Why not just the exact RM50 or RM5 for the fuel we fill in and no "temporary" charged for certain amount of days.

Can someone explain?

thanks.

I asked bank about this before, it said is standard practice. But since we are not paying the balance or interest for it, I guess no big deal.

I only knew about it when bank system got too smart and SMS me about the charge of RM200 after I filled the petrol.

so the card will still be charged the rm200 amount first la...even if we set the amount to be let say...rm50?

then by all means, better let it take it course...just stop whenever we want...

yes, if let say you just want to fill in rm30 for the sake of want the fill in the fuel bar just by 1 but not really full tank,
might as well you fill in full tank until the fuel nozzle stops automatically.

because the rm200 will still be charged for 8 days, irregardless of any amount you want to fill the petrol in the first place.

Now i know some people might think this is no big deal. But to those who always monitor their CC outstanding balance and fear that particular rm200 (for 8 days) will just hit the CC limit, it is a big deal.

Because the system always needs to know the charge amount before approving the charge, and since you havent started refuel, there is no way the system can know how much you are gonna charge.

So what the system does, is to use RM200 as the amount to run the approval process. Once it is approved, the RM200 will be entered into the unbilled amount on your account.

As to why it take 8 days, I guess it's just how long it takes to reverse the balance.

Just swipe card and pump exact amount lah...all this is pointless...kena charge RM200 for 8 days somemore, later system screw up then no reverse charge....
