Paying at the pump is an IQ test in 2025.

I go inside for free snacks and beverages (kids do all the shoplifting)

Is this about card skimmers or something? Or what are you even bitching about?

we used to in canada, but we imported too many third worlders

Im from new jersey (where we have an attendant pump our gas for us)
So when i went to another state the fuckin pump thing wasnt locking
So i went inside and axed the cashier if they could help
Turns it out was broken

>paying at the pump

Nobody has been able to tell me why that’s a good thing, they just keep importing them

Weirdly enough tap-to-pay is the most secure option now.

Been using the app lately but the dumb rewards doesn't work. Fuck Shell desu

Of course I pay at the pump you goofball

You guys will sperg out about literally anything and everything

I'll bet some of you jackasses use the squeegee at the pump to clean off your windshield while you just pump in infinity dollars on a CREDIT card!

>>28582136
Am I a bad guy if I do that? I pay off my credit card early after I do that.

>>28582079
Just don’t get it confused with pay-to-tap – that’s prostitution.

>>28582136
>>28582137
when I see people paying in cash at this point I'm hoping for their sake that they stole it/got it from selling drugs.
You're missing out on getting back 3% of literally every single transaction. That adds up quick.

>>28582137
No. I have a million Amex and Chase points each + several hundred thousand miles on Delta and AA. If you're not swiping, you're losing.

>>28582151
if you play your cards right ;) 5.25%

Bank of AmeriKKKunt cards give 3% cb on a category you select. You can get multiple cards, and set each card to a different category. You then get +75% boost on that 3% (to 5.25%) if you have >$100K stored in a retirement account with them.

So now I get 5.25% on dining, 5.25% on gas, 5.25% on online purchases, 5.25% on travel/flights/hoetails/etc. basically everything.

The only thing I can't get >5% back on is like dentist bills, which I charge to a new credit card with some opening bonus or something.

>>28582137
Credit cards are much more easily charge-backed if you do get skimmed. Use it like a debit card and just pay it off.

>>28582169

Damn I gotta get in on this shit, any tips for trying to get miles quick or something? Seems like you guys know pretty well. Heard a lot of times people can get like business class tickets for pretty cheap with them, any tips for this or just keeping my eyes peeled for sign up bonuses?

>>28582007
Imagine getting a worker who you can pay less than an equivalently skilled citizen and threaten with deportation if they get uppity. That's how it works in the US at least.

>>28582181
Not those anons but
>Have a good credit score.
If you don't, start with a secured card and make payments in full on it until your funny number goes up.
>get a card with an attainable sign on bonus
Make sure you're not spending for the sake of getting the bonus, but that you can hit the bonus requirement naturally. You can use big unavoidable purchases like insurance if you have to. Citi Custom Cash is a good starter for this, 5% cb in your single highest spend category. So make it your dedicated grocery card if that's what you spend on the most. Then you'll get your bonus after putting $1500 on it over 6 months. You can dedicate it to a different category any time. It will always be worth carrying in your wallet.
>Pay your statement balance in full every month.
Set up autopay so you never forget, but still check up on your transaction history often anyway.
>Repeat every 3-6 months.
If you're just starting out, a new card w/ sign on bonus every 3 months is alright. As your collection grows, stick to every 6 months. This makes approval for more cards easier from companies with hidden rules (i.e. Chase's 5/24 rule, I'll let you do your own research on this)

>>28582136
credits more secure. if pajeet skims my card i can just reverse the charge.
build your credit up until they give you a big enough limit that you can just use it like a debit card.
>>28582169
i heard they were nuking the >3% thing

>>28582221
>If you don't, start with a secured card and make payments in full on it until your funny number goes up.
protip: ask your parents (if they have good credit) to just add your name to their account to slowly build the funny number.
I had a 757 credit score before I ever got my own credit cards

>>28582221
Why are americans so fixated on credit score? Everywhere else I've lived no one even knows what theirs is, its never talked about.

>>28582233
Because it allows one to make thousands in free money from the big banks? I literally do not care about it, it's not a badge of honor. It's a tool that puts money in my pocket for no effort on my part.

>>28581882
Why would you want to do that? That's a waste of time.

>>28581965
boomers can't figure out how to use tap to pay technology
also, I've found the tap pads can sometimes be fiddly and sometimes they just don't work at all and you have to fish the card out of your wallet anyways

it was a lot easier when phones had touch sensors and you could put your finger on that vs having to make eye contact with the facial sensor

>>28581895
The best part is when a forgetful granny ends up with $1000+ worth of tickets and she can't even figure out which ones (if any) are winning ones, so she dumps them on the counter and tells the cashier to scan all of them. Sometimes they feel helpful enough to do that.
I think I caught the damn covid from standing for ages in a line/crowd watching that shitshow. I'm not going to leave without paying but ffs.

>>28582316
Imagine filling up your tank to 100% full every time

>>28581982
I lived in North Carolina with New Jersey plates and when I was pumping gas sometimes people would ask me if I knew how it worked.

>>28582228
>protip: ask your parents
This is only a tip if you're 18. If you're asking your parents for money help or building credit as an adult you're simply never going to make it.

>>28582464
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>28582551
If you have shit credit as an adult you're also never going to make it, so might as well do something to help yourself even if it's fucking pathetic.

>>28582464
>boomers can't figure out how to use tap to pay technology
I use tap to pay with my card at most retail POS stations, but 9 times out of 10 it simply doesn't work for me at the pump. Either simply doesn't detect the card, or it generates an error making me stand there for 20 seconds before it'll let me try again.

They still haven't figured out tap to pay super well; yes we'll put the status lights right where you're covering them with your card, so useful! Different POS machine with dedicated LEDs? Well we'll still have you cover up the status lights!

>>28582499
Is filling your tank up to 100% bad? I'm aware of overfilling a bit causing liquid fuel to damage the charcoal vent cannister (why is that even a thing) but haven't heard about anything bad when you fill all the way.

>>28582562
Do zoomers really use tap to pay? All I ever see is people attempt to use it in stores, get frustrated after failing 10 times, then insert their card anyway. It seems like a complete waste of time with no upside

>>28582565
>Do zoomers really use tap to pay?
I'm not a zoomer but yeah, thats what I sometimes see. People try tapping the tap to pay, when in reality its long-press to pay which apple users have no concept of anyway. Some say its because US POS stations are like 5 years behind EU and Asia's: that little chip we all have now came like 5 years after EU cards had them. I just assume the longpress-to-pay feature was poorly implemented in our cards and the pay stations weren't updated for years after that because that costs money and harms profits.

>get home
>plug in car
>it’s free because solar
Feels good bros.

>>28582562
In my corner of Yurop you tap the side of the payment device, or if it's mounted on a wall or a gas pump, a marked spot to the side of the card slot (and its LEDs).
I don't think it's ever failed to work, though there's a fairly low daily cap, and every couple of weeks it asks for chip & PIN anyway to prevent stolen cards from being used for too long.

>>28582568
>that little chip we all have now came like 5 years after EU cards had them
Merchants have been liable for card fraud due to insufficient security (e.g. using those old magnetic stripes) in the EU since 2005; I don't think the US had a law like this until late 2015.

>>28582316
Americans dont realize public spaces are pleasant in other countries.

>>28582573
The solar panels were free too?

>>28582582
>I don't think it's ever failed to work
I don't think I've ever had one work for me. I'll try it again in a few weeks when I do my monthly fillup, but after 20+ years of paying at the pump its hard to break the cycle.

>Merchants have been liable for card fraud due to insufficient security
Yeah individual merchants are NEVER at fault, they don't check ID, they don't check anything. Why should they? Unless its very obvious fraud like a homeless guy walks in trying to buy a rolex on a card that clearly isn't theirs (his name isn't Jessica), merchants have basically zero liability and its completely on the payment processor to lose the money. The problem is merchants here thought they got paid and the merchandise goes out the door. So they do have a stake in making sure its not fraud, but no gas station can stop that fraud plus their gasoline is still out the tank.

>>28582590
>Americans dont realize public spaces are pleasant in other countries.
Oh shit I'm losing my mind at how pleasant this is!

>>28582600
They came with the house at a reduced price. But even with buying new panels the typical break even period is around 8 years, and most panels last 20-30 years.

>>28581970
From the south? Kek.

>>28582605
>merchants have basically zero liability and its completely on the payment processor to lose the money
At least in parts of the EU, the merchant has been 100% liable for like 20 years if they don't offer secure payment methods and someone manages to commit card fraud at their store because of that.

I think they entirely disabled the magnetic stripes here around many years ago; if a card still has one, swiping it won't do anything. Most places didn't accept them anyway because they didn't want to risk liability.

>>28582609
>Went to western Europe
You failed the IQ test.

There was an actual park a couple clicks away, but the people who lived in the vicinity preferred to let their kids play in this empty field. You can see football goals in the background. Bicycles were unlocked, women wore jewelry in public, police were at every roundabout. I even saw a truck deporting niggers to the desert.

>>28582654
>This dirt field sprinkled with poverty is pleasant!
Hey man, thats just a dirt lot with government boxes in the background. Or its AI I can't really tell.

>>28582565
>Do zoomers really use tap to pay
Yes. Whenever they added that shit it fucked with the normal reader and it doesn't work half the time. I'd almost say this is intentional, you know, get people used to tapping, then have it as a wristband, then implant it in the skin etc but I honestly think it's just pure incompetence in this case

I was close to putting in an offer on a home where the solar panels would have been paid off at closing by the seller. I don't think it would have pushed me into getting a PHEV or EV, but I can see where one man's loss is another's gain. Those solar panels were roughly 3 years old, if google street view is to be believed.

American do realize that by prepaying at the pump, you are only charged for the amount you filled... right? right??

>>28582836
I'm not going to get culturally enriched in your third world hell hole, you cannot convince anyone but wealthy white women to do this.

>>28582852
In a lot of countries it doesn't work that way. They block the bigger amount (sometimes letting you to specify it) then charge you for the actual amount you filled afterwards. Or they do charge-return-charge combo.

>>28582861
What the fuck are you talking about, man?

>>28582864
That's what I meant. You choose the maximum cap for the pending charge on the credit card, like $250, but if I end up only pumping $50 then the credit card charge will finalize for $50. You effectively pay for what you pump, you aren't literally pre-paying $100 when you only partialy filled at $35.80. Literally what is the issue paying at the pump

>>28582866
Card skimmers man, they only exist in shitty neighborhoods.

>>28582879
Was the technical term for that "authorization hold"?
Some gas pumps around here ask how much money they're allowed to hold. They then pump up to that amount worth of fuel, deducting the final price from the credit/debit account.

zoomers use their phones to pay, no cards necessary

if it was white people chilling letting their kids play in a field you wouldn't be saying anything, but if its a maghrebi country watching the cops beat niggers and throw them out in the desert to starve to death could not change your mind. Its hilarious you have fake money that can't buy anything while you share your shithole with the criminals of the world, and you think the rest of the world with less fake money nonetheless would tolerate your lifestyle. You die in the grave you dig yourself i suppose.

>>28582905
>DEBIT ONLY
at mine it's credit only, if I try using my debit it'll do the fucking SEE CASHIER thing (aka leave and go to another gas station)

>>28582908
>if it was white people chilling letting their kids play in a field you wouldn't be saying anything,
Correct. Ask anyone and 99% of the answers (if honest) will say whites and asians relaxing in a park would be best. Blacks, indians, some other kind of brown and nobody would go there due to crime and odors.
>a maghrebi country
Nobody knows who this tribe is outside of your local hellhole.
>Its hilarious you have fake money that can't buy anything
Poor hands typed this on a phone. All money is fake, no currency being printed has ever had intrinsic value. Even American education learned me that.
>and you think the rest of the world with less fake money nonetheless would tolerate your lifestyle
Considering people are risking life, limb, and everything they value in the world to come to the US and stay here, yes I think the rest of the world must tolerate my lifestyle. You useless immigrants come here and realize life is better but demand it be changed to whatever shithole you tried to escape are beyond baffling. You're escaping those shitholes, and white people aren't clambering to live there. Thats your clue its not a good place to be.
>You die in the grave you dig yourself i suppose.
Yep, thats how the US works. You quite often get to enjoy the consequences of your own actions. Versus hellholes that birth you into a gravesite.

>>28582224
>i heard they were nuking the >3% thing
They're not. They're promoting it harder because most normies that get cashback cards never pay off the full balance, so they don't actually get the benefit of cashback. The APR on them is also much higher as well, so it's a cash cow for BofA.

if the pump says to pay inside I leave if there's a single bug-eyed minority loitering by the door.

>>28582879
More useless work compared to the real "pay after filling up", be it at the pump or at the cashier.

>>28582499
it's technically cheaper because you will inevitably run out of gas and have to pay more in sales tax for paying for 15 dollars of gas 3 times a week.

>>28582233
>Why are americans so fixated on credit score?
It determines the loan interest rates you're eligible for. A couple percentage points is enough to gain or destroy buying power.

With interest rate hikes:
>remove $150k of buying power on $500k mortgage
>used car costs just as much as new car in total expense
>normies get btfo on buy-now-pay-later after they max out their cards
That's the reason it's such a huge deal in America.

>>28582908
I mean how is all that related to the topic of the thread? Why are you trying to appear European talking to supposedly North Americans?
I believe there's a separate board to vent like you do, /bant/ or something like that.

>muh card skimmers

if you have any decent bank they have 0 liability fraud protection and will instantly put your money back. this applies to debit cards too. it's such a dumb boomer thing to be scared of getting skimmed or getting a card stolen. It happened to me once and I got the money back in 24 hours. they even fronted me cash instantly so I could buy stuff that day and pay bills if i needed too.

>>28582965
I usually get sms notifications when I use my card but what does urk me is it does not always go off so I have to check my dipfuck statement

>>28582965
>it's such a dumb boomer thing to be scared of getting skimmed or getting a card stolen
In day-to-day life, all you really need to do is avoid anything Indian and you've basically solved the card skimming issue.

>>28582929
useless immigrants are the only ones flooding europe and america, that's intentional. no one wants these people and the west's obsession with ultrasocialism is destroying it. It was documented that multiple south american countries were shipping their criminals to the US just to get rid of them. Africa would undoubtedly do that too. You've never set foot outside of your gated community and it shows, nowhere in the world tolerates niggerdom and jeets except for yours.

>>28581874 (OP)
remembering your PIN is an IQ test?

>>28582965
>it's such a dumb boomer thing
this is exactly it. there are so many protections that it's entirely not worth even worrying about having your "card stolen".
last year one of my cards fell out of my wallet at a home depot and I got a text later showing a bunch of transactions at a fucking gas station followed by it being denied at a target like 3 times.
somehow these card companies know what is and isn't suspicious purchases and lock that shit down fast. then they just void those transactions and send you a new card. the retard who got my card got some free cigarettes or whatever out of it and that's it.

>>28582989

It's another thing to keep in mind. And the whole idea of filling up first and paying afterwards is less things to do and to keep in mind.

Friendly reminder to never insert your card anywhere. Always use Apple/Google/Samsung Pay, as they don't transmit card information to the merchant.

im scared to pump my own gas. I straight up don't get how it works. I've very rarely had to do it. i spent like 30 minutes at the pump trying to google the capacity of my cars gas tank because i didn't want to overflow it and embarrass myself. it was nerve wracking and stressful

>>28583301
Pick your fuel.
Either pick pay at pump or booth.
Do card thing if required.
Find appropriate hole in car and prod the correct nozzle into it.
Pull handle and either wait for it to stop or until you run out of money.
Go buy beer while paying.

>>28583341
What do you mean wait for it to stop? Also I don't drink

>>28583301
every gas pump in a first-world country have a trigger that stops flow when your tank is full for safety. overflowing is impossible

>>28583447
What the fuck? Why don't they tell you? How does the pump know? Do you have to tell the pump what car you have? Can you really trust it 100%
Wish they taught me this shit in school

>>28583353
Pumps cut out when the tank is full. Sometimes before that.

>>28583301
It's scary what EVAP problems can do to a man

>>28583452
>How does the pump know
it's some mechanical system having to do with vacuum or something like that. you can look up a video of how it works. basically it's completely mechanical so it's foolproof and can never break

>>28583447
Same for 2nd world and a number of places in the 3rd world. The most common problem with old worn out nozzles is stopping prematurely, not overflowing.
>>28583452
You can ask google or youtube these exact questions and find really interesting videos of how these things work.

The NJ and Oregon drivers ed test needs to require people to go out of state and learn how to pump. I was by Philly once coming home from a trip at a Wawa and there was 3 young girls from NJ trying to figure out how to pump gas. Was funny as fuck, I ended up going over and showed them. Hopefully they retained the knowledge.

I've wondered if loyalty systems are worth it for gas stations. similar to hotels it can be worth it if you use hotels a lot, and everyone buys gas multiple times a week.

>>28583685
I suppose so, then again I mostly use 7/11 with the car wash rewards because my car is always outside and getting covered in tree slime and birdshit every week

>pay more in sales tax

>>28583770
you pay a tax per gallon and you pay a tax on the individual sale, if you fill your fucking tank instead of topping off three fucking times you will have spent 70 to a dollar cents on NOTHING, years of doing this you will spend maybe 100 bucks on NOTHING.
YOU GET NOTHING FOR IT

Zoomer here, always. Takes less time, is more reliable than inserting the chip, it never asks me to enter my PIN, can't recall having it fail unless my balance was too low, it's great. At least when I use my card's nfc, never used the phone one.

>can't recall having it fail unless my balance was too low
I can. It fails with cards more (the card is not powered, the hardware is cheaper and it can be damaged more easily), it fails with smartwatches less (probably because it's on internal not induced power) but still does sometimes, but most of these times it's the terminal's fault.
>is more reliable than inserting the chip
Never had a problem inserting the chip though, but since most of the stuff is contactless now (I'm a millennial so I remember not only cards without contactless but cards without the chip too), I stopped doing that often and use it as a fallback.

do people actually use their debit card in this day an age or skimmers?

>>28584409
plenty of retards are terrified of credit cards (mostly thanks to dave ramsey) and/or aren't aware of all the protections from fraud that literally any bank provides so they think the instant they use it all their money will be gone.

>>28583829
this is the most retarded shit ive heard today, and ive been on 4chan all day.

>>28584409
Never, ever, have a significant amount of money (to you) in that card account.

>>28582776
It’s been pretty good for us. We’re just paying the minimum $20/mo grid connection fee and have a bunch of KWh in credits built up. Hopefully will draw down some of those credits now that we have the EV.

>>28582006
what even is the point of scratching these anyway? i work a gas station and get $5 in free tickets each year and i usually just uncover the QR code and have them check the ticket, won $30-40 off free tickets that way.

>>28585394
Any interest in putting in a power pack or w/e they're called? Or battery storage in the back yard? Could come in handy if you ever get a rolling blackout.

Wish this was more common. The only places I can get ethanol free around here are airstrips and that's leaded avgas.

Yet your people migrate to white countries. Why aren't they happy living peacefully there in your ethnostate when money isn't real. They should be happy to be amongst their kind. Weird.....

Tell that to my friend. Got skimmed $2000 and his credit union told him to fuck himself. I thought credit unions were supposed to be based.

Had an F350 that the rear tank hated one costco pump and would not fill automatically. Had to hold it just barely on or it would trip constantly. Every other place I went it would work fine.

Because we’re the goodest consumers :^)
It’s mostly a meme. Banks look at a ton of shit besides credit score when making a loan. They just push credit scores so people are more willing to take on debt and they make more money overall.
>>28582238
More like allows one to pay a little less in interest to the bank.

There is one in the basement which also came with the house. There seems to be an automatic off-grid cutover switch somewhere because our power stayed on when everyone else’s was out during a storm recently.

>>28586345
i find it around boat ramps. ethanol free is preferred or required on the water

>>28581882
At the walmart gas station there was a secret option you could press to pay after pumping. I never go there so I don't know if they eliminated that yet.

>>28582151
Good point, I only use cash when it's bonuses or side money that I've made and don't want to send 40% of said cash to the government. Otherwise it's always the Amex or whatever other opening bonuses card I'm harvesting the points on

I was in a different, for me, UK supermarket fuel station and the pay at the kiosk turned into a trip into an off licence. About a half of the place was beer/wine/spirits and snacks. There was a little bit of car related fuids.
