There used to be a limit here for how much you could pay at the pump.
It use to be $80 if I remember correctly. If you stayed under that
amount it went through. You could go into the station with your card
first I believe and process the card there. Here are a couple
articles. They are old but should help explain it...

Leon, I was indeed trying to pay INSIDE.

It was just a guess...

Did some searching with "chase card". Wow, a lot of disgruntled users.
One thing I did notice is that a lot of them payed off their monthly
balances in full and yet till got declined for small purchases.

All sorts of tales of woe he

Their rates are ghastly, especially if you miss a payment or go
overlimit. Some of the cards out nowadays (from all companies) are so
high they would have been considered _usurious_ when I took Business
Law in high school. 34% is the highest I've seen.

And if those aren't bad enough, CC Cos get $39 a pop for late
payments, returned checks, and overlimit fees, plus hitting you with
the highest rates they state for 6-12mos afterward, if late.

I learned early on to pay off the balance monthly, and to pay the max
I could until the balance was paid off after an emergency buy.
