<p>[quote user="CNW 6000"]Put money from pile A into pile B. Wait...pile A is too low, so take pile B and refill. Wait...pile B is too low, so take pile A and refill. Repeat until <span class="smiley">[banghead]</span>[/quote]</p><p>Yahoo posted a small article the other day where there is a 50 dollar credit card limit on single gas purchases for Visa and 75 dollar limit for Mastercard.</p><p>Apparently these limits apply when you attempt to fill up and pay at the pump itself and have to cross over several seperate purchases to complete a fill up across two or even three credit cards.</p><p>These limits dont apply to the people that walk inside and present the card. There is apparently an increasing number of credit purchases being noticed as people run into the pre-set limits and get out more cards to finish the fill up.</p><p>We fight to have debt at zero, zip, nada, sorry, not here etc... and the idea of credit card companies racking up 14% interest or whatever charges made on gasoline that has long been burned up by the auto is beyond me.</p><p>Makes me wonder how much debt is sitting on wall street that is actually made up of food, gas and other consumables that are already used up? How much more can we do this before it breaks citibank, mastercard etc...</p><p>Here is the source of this article:</p><p> <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070616/ap_on_bi_ge/gas_credit_card_limits_5;_ylt=AlYehUfAXqaJFCY9NBtAGxOAsnsA">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070616/ap_on_bi_ge/gas_credit_card_limits_5;_ylt=AlYehUfAXqaJFCY9NBtAGxOAsnsA</a></p><p> </p>
