Asda scraps £99 petrol station charge after facing backlash
Supermarket giant Asda has been forced to suspend the its £99 authorisation charge, after facing backlash from disgruntled customers.
The charge debited £99 from their account on top of the purchase as a way to ensure there was enough money in the account to pay for the fuel.
However, the money would never actually leave the account but disappear from the balance until the fuel was paid for.
Asda has now ditched the charge following complaints from the public including Jade Louise, 22, who claimed the supermarket has “taken” £99 from her account before she filled up as part of a trial.
The student’s revelation prompted a consumer backlash over industry-wide plans for the charge and forced Asda to back down.
Jade, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, said: “I still can’t quite believe it. I only posted it to warn others of the new system because Asda wasn’t doing it.
“Not everyone can afford to not have access to £99 even if only for a few days. “All I did was speak out about the issue, the rest was down to the community of Facebook.”
She added: “I’m just so glad that I’ve been able to help make Asdasee sense and realise how unrealistic that new system was.
“I am happy they have stopped the trials. I can’t say it hasn’t damaged the trust I had in them.
“I understand that Visa and MasterCard increased the pre-authorisation amount last year and that’s why Asda trialled this but it wasn’t fair to not let customers know of this change by at least putting up signs.” Jade said she was baffled as to what Asda were trying to achieve with the trials.
“I think it was unrealistic and they haven’t thought carefully enough about what could go wrong and how it could negatively impact their customers.
“They haven’t been able to guarantee return of funds within minutes as promised whether that’s down to the bank orAsda, there is clearly faults in the system.
“I don’t understand why they don’t let you select your own debit amount, pay and then have the machine cut off once you reach that amount, or better yet bring back manned stations and give people work.
“I hope Asda can come up with a system that works for them and their customers and I wish them all the best with it and I hope in future they notify customers when and if there is a change to prevent situations like this.”
A pre-authorisation charge is taken at the beginning of a ‘pay-at-pump’ transaction to verify the card and it used to be just £1, to check it had funds.
Last year, both Visa and MasterCard introduced new industry rules regarding pre-authorisation charges.
The amount was increased to £99 to protect both the store and customer.
This £99 is to ensure the amount for the fuel, which may be a lot less, could be covered by the customer’s bank balance.
Asda have now announced that the store would suspend the scheme until it could be confident that money would not be held by individual banks and would be immediately refunded.
In a statement, Asda said: “The intention of Visa and MasterCard in this trial was to ensure customers had sufficient funds in their account to pay for their fuel, and the £99 would be immediately released back to customers by their bank.
“Whilst we have received very few complaints about this process, until we can be given assurance that all banks are able to comply with the Visa and MasterCard rule change, we cannot continue to implement this change and risk harming our customers’ trust in us.”
On Tuesday A MasterCard spokesman said: “Last year a change in industry rules meant that petrol stations with automated fuel pumps were required to pre-authorise a value equivalent to a full tank of fuel, so that customers didn’t fill up with more fuel than they could afford.” “This is designed to protect them, and the petrol station.”
A Visa spokesman said: “The way that pay-at-pump fuel payments are treated has been standardised across the industry to ensure security for individual cardholders, retailers and card issuers.
“When an individual chooses to pay at a pay-at-pump fuel dispenser, an initial amount is held against their account while they dispense their fuel to ensure that they have sufficient funds to pay for the cost of their fuel.
“This initial amount should be adjusted immediately after fuel is dispensed to reflect the actual cost of the fuel.
“Visa has been working closely with card issuing banks to ensure that consumers do not experience delays in the adjustment of the initially-held amount, however if consumers notice that initial amounts held against their accounts are not adjusted immediately, they should raise this with their card issuing bank in the first instance.”
Morrisons and Sainsbury’s have confirmed they have not yet implemented this at any of their petrol stations. Tesco have not responded when asked for a comment.
Bargain hunters will be able to snap up the very first Asda deals as soon as the supermarket’s sale begins online on Christmas Eve.
If you prefer to go out shopping, you will be able to buy sale items in selected Asda stories from Boxing Day. This sale will run until January 14.
Boxing Day is traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the year but Asda and many other retailers are starting their sales early this year.
An Asda spokeswoman said that their sale will includes discounts across a variety of home and technology lines, with products varying from vacuums, pillows and duvets to TVs, headphones and tablets.
She said: “Sale items will be available both online at www.asda.com from the 24th December and in selected stores from the 26th December.
“With January proving to be a key month for home improvements and stocking up on essentials, Asda will introduce their second sale ‘Stock up £5 and under’ event on the 8th January 2018 to give customers savings on products they want and need.
“The sale will include savings across everyday essentials such as lightbulbs, pans, candles, stationary and car supplies. Customers will be able to stock up on the discounted essentials until the 28th January, online at www.asda.com.”
Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year. Under Sunday working hours, large retailers are only allowed to open for total of six hours between 10am and 6pm on Sundays in England and Wales.
Asda stores across Britain will be closed on Christmas Day itself. Families will have to wait until Boxing Day to pick up supplies with most Asda supermarkets opening between 9am and 6pm on Boxing Day.
New Year’s Eve also falls on a Sunday and Sunday working hours apply.
An Asda spokeswoman said: “As Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve both fall on a Sunday, Asda will open during normal Sunday trading hours which differ by store.
“All stores will close on Christmas Day and then re-open on Boxing Day, with the majority being open from 9am-6pm on Boxing Day and then 10am-6pm on New Year’s Day.”
Opening hours vary depending on individual stores. To check the opening hours of your local store, please use the store locator on the Asda website.
To avoid the Christmas chaos as shoppers flood the supermarkets, you can also shop online on Christmas section of the Asda website.
With supplies likely to be running low after their bumper Christmas dinners, Britons are expected to rush to supermarkets on Boxing Day to restock their depleted cupboards.
Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda have also confirmed that they will be slashing prices on December 26, ahead of the annual January sales.
Here is a breakdown of when the retail giants will be open on Boxing Day.
Tesco Extra stores will be shorten their opening hours on Boxing Day, with most operating between the hours of 9am and 6pm.
Express branches are likely to have opening times of 8am to 10pm, though most Metro stores will be closed.

Most Sainsbury’s branches across the UK will be open as normal on Boxing Day, though some may be closing early depending on location.

Check your local branch’s opening hours on the Sainsbury’s store locator website.
Nearly all Asda supermarkets will open at 9am on Boxing Day, before closing at 6pm.

Rival supermarkets Waitrose and Aldi will keep their doors shut on Boxing Day to give their employees the day off.
A PSORIASIS-sufferer fed up of his skin shedding ‘like snow’ has revealed his unlikely cure for the condition – and it’s under £5 a tube.![]()
Damien Broderick, 26, suffers with psoriasis – a chronic skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales.
Typically, psoriasis gets worse in the winter thanks to a change in termperature and other factors: here’s six ways to relieve psoraisis symptoms this winter.
Dublin-born blogger Damien had such strong flare-ups of the condition he would have to vacuum his clothing in order to clean up flakes of skin that would fall off his body.
He previously used a steroid cream to treat the condition, but when the disease returned last month his GP advised him to look into alternative therapy.
Damien tried everything from Chinese medicine to acupuncture – and as a last resort was advised to try Childs Farm products by a colleague.
The blogger bought the Baby Moisturiser and Hair and Body Wash, and claims within days he started to see a visible difference in his skin.
Damien said: “I was diagnosed with psoriasis when I was around 18 or 19. I just woke up one morning and I was covered in red spots.
“I went to the doctor and was prescribed a course of steroid cream.
“The cream got rid of it within about three months and I didn’t suffer with it again for seven years, but on the 20th October this year I woke up and I was covered again.
“My torso and back were completely covered. From my thighs down to my feet it was just flaky red spots all the way down.
“Whenever I removed a garment of clothing my skin would shed like snow. I had to get the hoover out when I took my clothes off.
“My GP had advised against using steroid creams again and I was reluctant to try using sunbeds. I looked into acupuncture but it was too expensive, so a few of my colleagues advised me to try Childs Farm’s baby moisturiser and body wash after reading about the products online.
“Within a few days of using the products I started to see a difference. My face cleared up first, then my neck, then my torso, and then my legs. It was as though it was making its way down my body.
“I’ve now been using the products for around a month and my skin has almost completely cleared up. I will continue to use them, because for me the results have been incredible.”
All Childs Farm products are made using naturally derived ingredients to produce mild products that care for the skin, hair and nails of newborns, babies and children, but the products are suitable for adults too.
The moisturiser is £4.50 on the Childs Farm website; it’s £3.99 in Boots, Holland and Barrett and Waitrose.
Childs Farm founder Joanna Jensen said: “We were thrilled to hear that our products have helped to make such a difference to Damien’s psoriasis.
“Psoriasis is a debilitating condition that is difficult to treat, and it can have a huge impact on people’s confidence and quality of life. To hear that Childs Farm products are able to offer relief to this condition is fantastic.
“We are delighted that Damien has seen such impressive results with the baby moisturiser & hair and body wash. We hope the products continue to prove successful for Damien, and the many others who suffer from psoriasis and other chronic skin conditions who have found relief in the Childs Farm range.”
It comes after Express.co.uk revealed six ways to ease eczema and acne through the winter.
Asda have some fantastic gifts in-store this year through their George line.
Whether you want to buy homeware, toys, clothing or bigger furniture items, the supermarket giant has it all.
If there is not an Asda near you, they have a huge range of items available online to buy.

Martin Lewis, 45, says Asda customers can get a four per cent Christmas shopping boost if they take advantage of a loophole in its savings stamps scheme.
The company has a ‘Christmas savings card’ designed to help people save cash in the run-up to the expensive festive period.
Asda customers can pick up a savings card at any Asda store – then register it on their website so the balance on the card can be protected if lost.
The supermarket designed the card to help saving for Christmas easier – money can be added to the card at any Asda checkout or the Customer Service Desk.
But money expert Martin has found an impressive loophole that could add 4% to anyone’s card – but only if you act fast.
Appearing on This Morning on Friday, Martin said: “Supermarket savings stamps encourage year-long saving for Christmas, yet a loophole allows you to get the year’s bonus in one day.”
According to the Money Saving Expert, if you top up the maximum £144 on Asda’s Christmas Savings Card (which you can pick up in-store by 5pm Sunday 12 November, on Monday Asda will add £6 to the card – which is a four per cent boost.
Martin added: “If you top up less, say £97, you’ll get £3 on top.
“You don’t have to spend the cash on the card all in one go, but you do have to spend it in Asda stores (excludes petrol and lottery tickets).
“in other words, if you’re planning to shop in Asda before Christmas (or in the future, as the cards last two years) then you may as well do this.
“Iceland and the Co-op have similar schemes too.”
Martin also revealed this week how BT Broadband users could dodge its price hike and slash their monthly bill.
BT Broadband users are warned on Thursday by Martin of the rising costs of its service.
But he told Good Morning Britain it could be used as a way to save cash.
Users will soon be sent a letter in the post to notify of BT’s new costs – and here’s where you need to get clever, said Martin.
If you want to leave BT this is the time to do it, as long as you act fast.
He said: “If they notify you of a price change mid contract, you have 30 days for the day the letter is sent to break the contract penalty free.”
But if you are happy with your service and just want a lower rate, it is also time to pick up the phone.
