Americans have recently watched gas prices rise and fall, so many drivers already feel a little anxious every time they pull up to the pump. But one Alabama gas station customer recently discovered a different surprise: a pair of temporary credit card holds totaling more than $450.

At the same time, she attempted to buy fuel at a Pilot and Buccee’s travel center in Alabama.
