Things to know when paying at gas stations

Some gas stations may charge a fee for using a credit or debit card. Cash App does not charge any fees for using its QR code to pay for gas.

When you use your Cash Card at a gas station, the gas station may place a temporary hold on your account for up to $175. This hold is to ensure that you have enough money to cover the cost of the gas you pump. The actual amount of gas you purchase will be charged to your account later. To avoid this hold, you can pay for the exact amount of gas you want at the register before you pump.

If a merchant refunds a transaction, it can take up to 10 business days for Cash App to receive the refund. Once Cash App receives the refund, the funds will automatically appear in your Cash App balance. If you have any questions about a refund, please contact the merchant directly.

Here are some additional details about temporary holds:

  • Temporary holds are a common practice for gas stations and other merchants.
  • The amount of the hold is usually higher than the amount of the purchase to ensure that the merchant has enough money to cover any fraudulent transactions.
  • The hold is usually released within a few days, but it can take longer in some cases.
  • If you have any questions about a temporary hold, you can contact the merchant or your card issuer.
