The zip code is to prevent criminals from stealing gas (via vendor fraud chargeback) via a card stolen elsewhere, not to prevent criminals from stealing cards at the gas station.
- benjaminjackman 9y agoI wonder if they use the stolen cards to steal gas from other stations, that eventually by and large gets sold back to stations from what I have read.
- tastyfreeze 9y agoThe real reason for requiring zip code entry is a lower interchange fee for the station. If they didnt get a lower interchange fee they wouldnt care at all. It is also the only identity verification information that can be entered on a 10 key pad.
