Be careful if you use debit cards, there could be lots of hidden costs
Be careful if you’re using your debit card. That electronic money could end up costing you more than a tank of gas.
Working with your bank, most gas stations place a hold on your checking account for a predetermined amount, going as high as $100.
The best way to avoid the problem is to head inside. If you use your pin number with the cashier, the transaction registers for the sales amount only; no extra hold on your account.
