    Anyone got a contact number/address for 'Great Gas' currently operating near Dublin airport?
    They have an automated system, put in credit/laser card and get petrol, but they seem to have overcharged me and I can't find how to get a refund.
    It's not a huge amount, but that amount for every customer would add up.

    D'Oh! You mean some companies have HQs outside Dublin?:)
    Thanks a lot, much appreciated.

    *edit*
    Update on this in case anyone else has the same issue.
    I was 'cleared' by my bank for a payment of 80 euro, this has gone through. The comapny agent explained that when the station's paperwork goes through the bank, I will get my small refund.

    same happened to me at the place near Dublin Airport.

    they had blocked 100 euro (to cover the potential cost) and then charged me the 60 or 70 euro on top again off my maestro card.

    I actually went to my bank and explained the situation and they "took back" the cash.
    It hadnt actually left my account, it was simply blocked or reserved by great gas.

    I remember I checked my credit card one day, it was 1700 euros over what it should be.

    After freaking out ringing the bank realised it was Sixt after withholding 1700 euros for a car rental the week before.

    The money wasn't gone .. just 'held'

    What happens with me when I use GG is whatever the max amount I select to fill up with is, that amount shows up as a 'pending transaction' on my account for a week afterwards (which means I can't get at that money) even though they take the actual spend within a day or two. Why don't they cancel the pending transaction after they take the money?

    Worst I've ever had held is the (inflated) 'value' of the fuel in the tank + 100 euro.

    Hey all, Sorry to bring an old thread back into view but i found it pointless asking a small question to begin another thread.

    At the Dublin Airport Forecourt,If i was to select €80 to put into my car and the car doesn't hold it,Does my credit card get refunded they amount not taken when i put down the nozzle? Been sticking in €20-€30 here and there as i wasn't sure and I just wanna fill it up.

    If you select 80 but only fill up with 50, they only take the 50 so you won't lose out. However as I pointed out in an earlier post, they will put a hold on the 80 for a week or so even after they take your 50

    Happens to me all the time in Paris, the pre pay pumps all allow up to €130 of fuel to be pumped, then they hold €130 from your a/c until they put through the correct amount.
    I actually cancelled my laser card when I looked at my statement and found €390 missing from my a/c:eek:

    Christ...Three days... Better off just sticking in the €50 and keeping me going instead of waiting on the mess it would create in the bank account. Id go else where but its slightly cheaper than the other place for petrol otm.
