Just pump rm22 petrol at shell but amount deducted as rm200, how long it takes for the actual amount to be reflected?

When you pay through the self service kiosk at a gas station, there will always be a RM200 charge by the petrol company to cover for the amount of gas you're going to take. It's called a "deduction".
The “deduction” is actually a pre-authorisation hold and it only happens whenever a cardholder pays for petrol at a self-service pump. It is used to verify that the card is active and has sufficient credit prior to the transaction. The amount of the pre-authorisation is not a charge and no funds are debited from your card account, but the available balance on the card is temporarily reduced. Once you have completed pumping fuel, the actual amount of the fuel dispensed will be sent to your issuing bank. At this point, the actual amount will be debited from your card account and the pre-authorisation amount is cleared. However, it might take 3-4 days for the amount to be released back to you.
To avoid a pre-authorisation hold at self-service pumps, all you need to do is pay at the cashier, where the exact purchase amount will be deducted from your account.

Same goes to Debit Cards I think.
Well, I think only you were complaining.

actually we have this in our post #1 FAQ, since Jonathan put up detailed explain, will add a link to FAQ for better reference. Well, I think only you were complaining.
