i use a prepaid cc. only one i have, i also use prepaid walmart cards. cheaper gas, and u think 3 cents why bother? thats a minimum of 45 cents a tankfull on the average car. my dhs car is a 20 gall, so thats 60 cents, thats 1.05 each time saved when we fill the cars weekly. thats approx 6.50 a month saved. no dealing with a cashier, waiting in line to pay and a printed reciept right at the car, so if someone drove off b4 or after you, your car they remember, you have proof you paid for you gas. Dont think its not a possibility to happen either, a guy that worked at a mass chain, was letting his friends fill up and drive off, then taking everyones plates that didnt have reciepts and turning them in for the drive offs. my friend linda was one of the victims. 3 dollars gas for her lawn mower, no reciept and arrested for driving off with a 50 dollar drive off, that costed her 300 to fight in court, that she never got back, not to mention the mere embarrassments. they busted the guy for it finally, but how many victims did he create in this catastrophy, i dont buy gas at that store, only walmart with my prepaid card and reciept in hand. be smart peeps and start asking for your reciepts even if you pay cash somewhere in line. if its happened here im sure its happened everywhere at sometime, to someone you may know even. I keep 3 prepaid cards from wally world. One for in store, one for gas, and one for online purchases. that way if lost/stollen, how much did i really lose by breaking it up into smaller amounts. alot better then having an identity stollen also.
