Pay at pump £1 pre-auth

beckstar1975

Prepaid cards often don't work on pumps

Ocado does the pre-auth of £1 but doesn't debit the full amount of the shop until the day after the shop (in case of returns/refunds etc) - so you can have the pre-auth go through, receive the shop and then the full payment declined once you have the goods (umm might have accidentally BTDT)

Where did it say that? If I filled up all three cars in my household using the card I normally use for such purchases I would also go over my overdraft limit. Doesn't mean I have no money.

The OP referred to them getting themselves in trouble.

If they have the money to transfer then there's no trouble.

Yes, I overlooked that.

Thanks to you and takman for pointing that out.
