No problems for the last 6 years :/

Could be a card print error you should replace your card cause these cards are printed elsewhere and then the info is encoded into the magstrip so it could be an error where information is not copied properly...........common error or damaged magstrip

Oooh I'm getting mine this week...but I heard its like R3 per swipe??? @ Absa

Mine sometimes gets declined if I fill my tank up from empty. The guys tell me this is because it has a R500 limit on it or something. Maybe worth investigating if you are filling up with large amounts.

no problems

8 years no problems. The minimal fee for using it is worth it to not go looking for a bank teller and have to pay more than the fee just to withdraw the money.

I don't know why I bother with a garage card anymore as certain stations I use more than others due to proxmity to home and work like BP in my case now accept debit cards. By the way has anyone had much luck with paying for petol on credit cards yet? The law was changed if I am not mistaken?

i'd rather pay later i.e. end of month than during the month. so the garage card is financially the better option. but i could be wrong.

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

so you put ALL your petrol money into the garage card or whatever account is linked to the garage card???

 

[KSINGH]

i gotta a stand alone card and set it up to pay the full amount out of the cheque account at the end of the month.

30? years...since petrocards were first set up, and never declined...have your mag strip checked.

i called standard bank today and they said that they have some problems! i tried to use both my garage cards, my and my dads cheque acc cards and all 4 didnt work. than i tried my moms garage card... didnt work either...

I used my card this afternoon, no problem. Never had a problem actually.

Maybe area specific.

 

[Fudzy]

Never had any issues with mine, I have it linked to my CC. In retrospect I really wish I had a seperate account for it, would make monitoring my fuel expenditure a little bit easier.

Might I be so rude as to suggest that you use a log book for fuel monitoring?

I have always had one in every car since my first one, and it's the only way to accurately keep an eye on expenditure, as well as any fluctuations in fuel consumption.

Log booking is SO yesteryear!!!

have an iPhone? I'm sure I read on a forum about log book on iPhone for traveling/petrol logs etc.

Or just check your transaction history???

Never had a problem. Watch, now that I've said that...

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

lol yes, now that you've said it the petrol engineering lead will look at you funny when your card is declined, and he'll even chirp in a "is you sure there's manie on?" as if he's got dosh!
