mycaseydog Rookie Author Baltimore Posts:1 Points:270 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Apr 25, 2008 2:25:44 AM Ignore mycaseydog Report Abuse BJ'S Clubs are limiting you to the amount of fuel you can buy. I went to the one off Bel Air Rd and was limited to $75.00. Since I drive a truck that has a 26 gallon tank I could not get a full load. This reminds me of the gas problem under Jimmy Carter!!!!

Why are gas prices climbing while inventory is going up, demand and the price of crude are dropping? Could it be the inauguration? Snardly

kilch123 All-Star Author Baltimore Posts:694 Points:275,450 Joined:Aug 2008	Message Posted: Aug 19, 2008 8:55:25 AM Ignore kilch123 Report Abuse Most stations limit me to a dollar amount (BP on Washington Blvd is $100) but if you swipe your card again, you can complete your fill up. I have a 35 gallon diesel tank, so no way will $100 fill it.

The prices are slowly going down due to people changing their habits, but, we're not going to see prices under $3 a gallon. At least, not for a long while. If you call your CC Company and let them know, I bet the limits will change and reflect the times. klong
moonchild98 Rookie Author Baltimore Posts:3 Points:1,155 Joined:May 2008	Message Posted: May 31, 2008 10:00:45 AM Ignore moonchild98 Report Abuse I saw on the news where many were having this problem. Most credit card companies limit the credit card purchase to $75. It used to be less. Fast food places are $20. I can imagine there will be a lot of credit card thefts so that people can go and get the maximum gas on the stolen card. We actually had someone open credit cards in my husbands name and use them for quick purchases. It's a good time to look into getting credit card alerts!

Some card companies limit purchases like gasoline to $75 max. However, I ran into several pumps lile that which stated that but if you need more go ahead and fill it up with a new transaction. If that is the case at BJ's, they should post it on the pump.
newcam Rookie Author Baltimore Posts:2 Points:5,540 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Apr 28, 2008 9:38:48 AM Ignore newcam Report Abuse Did you pay by credit card? That happened to my husband. I think it has more to do with the credit card then the gas. The gas station has to pay a certain percentage to the credit card company for every credit purchase.
