Interestingly replies are showing up on google groups a loooong time
before they do on bell's server.
Why did/do I top post? Because I don't like to scroll through 500
lines (or 20)  to see the current part of the conversation and i don't
think anyone else should have to. I quote the bit I am responding to
after my post, for reference. I've been doing it this way for over 15
yrs. Bottom posting made sense when discussions were sent out daily or
weekly by listserv over 2400 baud modems, but doesn't make sense now,
IMHO.
Anyway, just because you haven't noticed the hold on your speedpass or
paypass doesn't mean it isn't there. You will if you ever near your
credit limit. Don't think you HAVE a credit limit? Think again.
Also, someone is arguing that someone is making money on this "held"
money, using it somewhere else? There is no actual "money" being held,
they simply reduce your available CREDIT temporarily. Is money you
could potentially borrow, but haven't yet, real cash money? No. They
are actually depriving themselves of potential interest.
Finally, ALL "pay at the pump"s preauthorize all cards, ALL of them,
as in every last one.
