Did you wave at pump or pay at cashier? If cashier then definitely no pre-auth. I stop pumping at caltex because it wouldn't go through most of the time. Some Caltex station set pre- auth at RM24x. The only card I managed to use with Caltex is my hlb debit card since the limit set was RM400 accumulative transaction.
And no cb just yet. IIRC tnc said will be credited when promo over.
I've always done this at the pump at Caltex.. doing self-service for the following benefits:
1. don't need to deal with cashier, sure can use spay..
2. can scan & pump repeatedly.. particularly useful during the previous MasterCard promo.. waved & pumped 3 consecutive times so that can easily hit 27 transactions.. forgo'ed the Samsung Reward points for this.. malas to contact customer service to get back the points every time..
3. fast & don't need queue.. doing 3 consecutive transactions was even faster than someone who pays manually at the cashier..
4. no weird stares from cashier & other people..
5. final benefit that i've started recently: can use physical card for pin & pay.. pump RM 1 of petrol to reset the contactless limit..

although there's the preauth of RM 248, i never had issues hitting the limits on total amount.. as mentioned above, there were times that i did 3 consecutive transactions without issues.. but this did cause me to hit the 5x max daily samsung pay transaction for my SC card..
so far, I've used the following cards at Caltex successfully:
PBB VS
Citi Cash Back
SC Gold MC (no reward points)..
