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.
