is it normal for gas stations to put a hold of $75 on your credit or debit card?

Ive been noticing this lately and it seems very odd to me..

When you use credit yes, especially if you pay at the pump … always pay debit

@SW-User it was a debit card LMAO

@SW-User Debit leaves you more vulnerable to fraud / theft vs a credit card.

@Stillwaiting that may be the case but debit is still better to use to avoid credit cards

@SW-User Financially, there is no real benefit to use of debit if you manage your credit card spending and pay your balance monthly. Plus you lose out on points/reward programs the credit cards offer.
