Too late I noticed a very small sign saying QT may put a $125 hold on your account for using plastic at the pump.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had retailers put an inflated hold on a debit transaction before. But it has always been a rounded up amount. Like, $38.00 hold for a $37.48 bill.<\/p>\n<p>I checked when I returned from giving Charter a hard time. It wasn&#8217;t $125, only $100 extra for $37.80 worth of gas. Lucky I happened to have an extra $100 in my account. If I tried to purchase that $37.80 in gas and only had $50 in my account, I&#8217;d be a walkin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>They did reverse it later. But for a while they had an extra $100 of my money to play with. I wonder just how much they are making on the float?
