[quote Mr645]The $75 limit is not from your credit card company, it's in place to protect the station against fraud. Since they do not know what your purchase amount will be, they simply check the card against a database of cards to make sue the card is valid, but they do not know what limits may be placed. Often they simply authorize a $1 purchase.
