re: Why do some gas pumps cut you off at a preset $ amount when you pay at the pump?

Credit card vendor might have limits to single transactions. Gas station itself might do it to limit exposure. (ESPECIALLY the older or more ghetto stations, their equipment only validates a card for $1 then bills the full amount after you pump. Newer stations pumps cutoff off in realtime if the card becomes maxed.)

seems like they could do this pretty easily if they wanted to
they all have a screen and keypad, so why not ask what amount you would like?
seems like it would work just fine
I meant the station's pre-auth system can't automatically ask the card issuer how much it can charge after a swipe. The issuer won't give out that information.
As for asking the customer how much they want, that could work. But it is an extra step.
