NO.
Pay @ Pump have a ZERO floor limit and have to authorise EVERY card before use.

.. and as the pump has no idea before you have dispensed the fuel how much fuel you are going to purchase, this authorisation is usually only for a small arbitrary amount (usually £1)

NatWest DO seem to have changed how they do things a little, but not necessarily in the that would have affected the available balance to the OP.

Formerly, payments would go out of my account more quickly and the "Account Balance" and "Funds Available" figures (when checking online) would be the same. Nowadays, transactions are slower to 'go through', so that the "Account Balance" and "Funds Available" figures rarely tally. HOWEVER, I only pay attention to the "Funds Available" figure for that day, as that is what is available to me and I can't factor-in what may or may not happen with regard to future funding.

Bad luck OP - you might just have to chalk this one down to experience...

That change you refer to only applies to online debit card holders offline debit cards holders wouldn't notice the difference.

I think you have totally misunderstood what St Clair said....

But it would have been better to say.

Auth all cards. Rather than online.
