Pay inside, it is safer.
I would just laugh if someone stole my credit card. ("Poor suckers thought they got something!")

Ummm.... one local gas station was traced back as a common point in a card hacking case. Evidently, the card reader had been modified to record the card information and the "security" camera mounted overhead recorded your fingers typing in your PIN. I was chatting with one staffer at the gas station I use most often and he was telling me how the card readers in their stores and pumps are secured. If the reader is disconnected and reconnected, a hardware check and firmware download is triggered. If the hardware check fails or the download fails to download and install properly, the card reader is locked out. If a replacement card reader is installed, it's a multi-step process to enable it. This courtesy of several local stores that were having their card readers replaced by hacked units -- a Whole Foods store held the record for having their card readers replaced 3 or 4 times before they went to the secured units.

Damn.... Canada 3, USA 4 in shootout. Hockey in a snowstorm.

Personally we typically use a Walmart gift card at their pumps.

I thought cards are required to use chips now. Pretty hard to counterfeit them.

Not at gas pumps. None that I've seen anyway.

Sorry about that. I'm not a hockey fan, but I know it's big in Canada.

Would you believe Odessa Texas has a hockey team? Even funnier so does Corpus Christi. And they have only got cold twice in 40 years.
I am blaming my mother for this cold snap. She was whining they were going to have a mild winter. Now she has gotten snow and will be freezing on New year's day.

****How do you pump gas?****

DH always pumps gas. He uses the same visa (different number) and never has had a problem. It also has a chip.

But he also used cash if it is going to be cheaper.

Hasn't this thread wandered a bit off topic? I've just returned to this forum after many years, and am slightly concerned.

Threads tend to do that when the issue is resolved.
