Canadian Credit Cards may not be welcome at US Gas Pumps

A number of southeastern US gas stations will not accept non-USA credit cards (i.e., Visa and Mastercards issued in other countries) for gas purchases at their gas pumps ...

... if you do not have a US credit card billing address with a 5 digit US zip code - you cannot start pumping.

Instead, you must go inside the gas station store and either, surrender your card (not a good idea in these days of "identity theft" - it may also invalidate your Bank credit card agreement) or, pre-authorize a specific dollar amount to be pumped.

This embargo represents a particular problem to the hundreds of thousands of Canadian snowbirds traveling to Florida each winter. It also affects other non-US visitors from countries such as Germany or the UK, on a Florida "fly-drive" holiday.

Page down this screen to see a list (by State and Route) of gas stations provided by our readers, that either DO or DO NOT accept Canadian (or other non-US) Visa/Mastercards at their pumps.
