How to Save Money

[Guest]

I live in Jersey. I always pay at the pump, and haven’t seen it any other option

here. I bought it yesterday, told the guy to fill it and handed him my card.

They had one of those systems that approves the card before the gas is

dispensed. A message popped up on it saying to “check card inside”. Never saw

that before. I knew there was plenty of money available. It made me nervous so I

just took the card back and paid in cash.

Btw, the no self pumping law in NJ is one of my favorite things about living

here lol. Doesn’t raise the price. Our gas prices are among the lowest in the

country. I hate having to pump the gas when I’m out of state. I forget and sit

there and wait for the attendant to come over to my car lolol.

That is what I do now, since I live in SC. But when I lived in Jersey, they

don’t have pump your own gas. It’s a law there I guess that an attendant must

pump your gas. I don’t know if they have the pay at the pump things there now

or not. My mother in law handed a gas attendant her credit card and she got her

identity stolen. She got a call from the credit card company asking if she was

having a great time spending so much money in Chicago. My mother in law

informed them she has never been to Chicago. Then it happened to someone else I

knew. So after I got charged $340 on my credit card for gas, my mother in law

got her identity stolen, and a friend got her identity stolen by a gas station

attendant, I always paid with cash for gas in Jersey. So far I’ve been lucky

here, because I pay right at the pump……….but it could still happen.

Michigan you do your entire transaction at the pump and get a receipt.
