Asda, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's bring in £99 pay at pump rule

Supermarkets including Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons have changed how drivers pay for their fuel.

Previously, all Pay at Pump transactions were authorised by requesting a £1 transaction from your card issuer before taking payment for the value of the fuel one to three days later.
