Charging a $226 hold with ZERO notice.
I’m genuinely bummed because I stop at Pilot Clovis NM at least 2x a year when passing through (sometimes more) for the last 10 years. I always top off my gas tank from Lubbock to my next pit stop in Albuquerque. I put $23.32 in my tank and they put a $226 hold on my card in ADDITION to my $23 purchase. 24 hours later it’s still there. This has NEVER happened and there is no notice of any kind on the pump or the app when I scanned my rewards or anything that they would be holding that much. The most a gas station has ever held is $150 which immediately just turns into the actual price of purchased at the end of the transaction. Pilot has never done this to me in the past, so I did not know to expect it. I got to Arizona late at night with my infant and dog and my card was declined to get our hotel room. That’s when I saw the hold, I never even got a notification. This is completely unacceptable. We were stranded at 10pm scrambling trying to get someone to send me money to pay for our room. I have over 900 miles left until our destination and 2 more hotels that I have no idea how I’m going to pay for because of this. As a loyal customer for years to many different locations in several states I can confidently say I will be using loves for every stop going forward including my stop in hinkley, ca. So beware if you pay at the pump they are now holding $226. Who knows when I’ll get the money back. Update 96h later and they’re still holding my funds.
