Last week I followed up on my initial debit card test,
The Dreaded Debit Card Hold. This time I paid for my Sam’s Club gasoline with a Visa debit card and my Sam’s Club groceries with the Discover debit card. Both the Visa and Discover debit card transactions put a hold equal to the transaction on the account. To avoid unreasonable and unnecessary holds this tells me I should not use the Discover debit card to buy gasoline.
