A $500 Hold On Your Visa When You Get Gas Is Now Reality

Due to the rising costs of gas prices and the increasing amount of theft and fraud with people trying to do whatever they can to fill up their tanks, Visa has changed their rules to allow gas station owners to place a hold of up to $500 on your Visa credit card or debit card to allow a check if the card is indeed valid. 

I recently posted an article titled "Gas Stations Can Now Place $500 Hold On Your Visa Card" in the news section of our website.  There you will find a link where you can watch the video story which recently aired on News Channel 4 in St. Louis.  If you rountinely use a debit card, you will need to be extra careful to make sure you don't end up with insufficient funds charges from your bank because of the hold.
