I filled up last night for about $60, and my online statement says the charge was only for $, which is listed as "pending". Are they normally delayed like this or did I just get a great deal?

The $1 is to authorize that the credit card works. The remainder will come out in a couple of days. Is this the first time you've used a card at the pump??

That was the hit to your card to make sure the card was legit. They'll catch up with you. I find that nothing gets posted to my cards on weekends. You'll probably have to wait until next week for it to play out.

That's an improvement then over how gas stations used to do it, placing a holding charge of ~$50 at the pump. Folks with not much left on their debit cards and credit limits were getting nailed for overdraft/over limit charges based on the placeholder.

They are teasing you. They are only charging a dollar now, like telling a spider story. Then they will make you wait for the rest of the charge/story.

But they will actually finish it.

You were the 1,000,000th customer at that pump, so you got it for $1.
