Some gas pumps ask for your zip also. Is it for security or marketing?

- chiph 14y agoIf you're using your credit card, then it's security. A lot of credit card thieves will make a small purchase (say.. at a gas pump) to see if the card is still active. Doubtful that this practice protects against the card skimmers that get installed inside the pump (which is why you should be buying gas with a credit card and not a debit card -- you have better consumer protections against fraud)
