    My tesco clubcard credit card makes tesco fuel pumps crash every time i use it, so i have to move to a different pump, fill up, go inside to tell staff, and pay at cashier. Bit annoying, means i can’t ever go at night or ‘pay at pump’, staff are aware of issue.

    I always use pay at pump for Petrol and use my Tesco Credit Card. Yesterday the pump would accept the credit card as a clubcard but not for payment. I tried 3 times before changing to pay in the shop. When I asked if there was a problem with pay at pump I was advised that the Tesco Credit card would no longer be accepted.
    This was said in a way that I should have known. I have had no issues up to yesterday. Surely Tesco would not invalidate the use of Tesco credit Cards to pay for fuel at the pump.

    If you tried to use your Tesco Credit Card at the pump but were unable, it could have been due to a technical glitch at the gas station you went to. On the other hand, Tesco might have upgraded their payment infrastructure, which impacts the acceptance of credit cards at the gas station. It's a good idea to check Tesco's website or call their customer care to see if their payment procedures have changed or if there are any known problems with using Tesco Credit Cards at the gas station. Switching up your pump payment method or getting in touch with the gas station directly can help if the problems persist.

    Thank you for the reply. I have discovered what the problem is this week. I went to another Tesco Petrol Station and the card worked fine for pay at pump. However, my usual station at Wellingborough has had an upgrade of their pumps which apparently are incompatible with the Tesco Bank cards. Seems strange but that's the answer.

    I have always used my Tesco credit card at Pay at Pump when purchasing fuel at Tesco petrol stations. Recently my card gets rejected after confirming that I want to pay with this card.

    Yesterday all pumps in Nailsea said only Pay at Pump available. I went to Asda where my card was accepted no problem.

    The problem with Tesco petrol stations has happened at 3 different stores. Anyone else had this problem? Should I request new cards?

    Hey all, thanks for your feedback regarding this issue with Pay at Pump. I’ve merged all your threads together to contain in a single thread.

    The Credit Card team has investigated this and told us they have found no issues with our cards, so it seems like it was a temporary issue/technology glitch that was affecting customers.

    If you’re still experiencing this issue, can you please reply to this thread with the date you were unable to use Pay at Pump and the store location so we can collate them? I appreciate some of you have already done this and we’ve taken note of these.

    I appreciate this has been an inconvenience for all and would like to apologise for that.
