We have always found our Nationwide credit cards never work if the pump asks for a zip code.

My point exactly right at the start of this thread.

I am pretty sure that there are only the odd station that asks for a zip code anyway. Most of them we have used have not asked for one.

Hi Kenny,
I was in florida in march and the pumps at the gas station we used had to have a lever pulled down once you had removed the fuel nozzle out of the holder to allow you to pump gas after prepay of course. The lever was located beneath the nozzle. Hope this helps.

The reason it asks for a zip code is simply to prevent fraud - otherwise it's too easy to fill up with a stolen card. It matches the code you enter with the one registered for that card. Some of the systems they use seem to be capable of recognising a non US card and don't ask for the code, others don't seem to be that clever so you have to prepay.

How it works using the code from a villa you're staying in temporarily is beyond me, I can only assume the system recognises it's not a US card and will accept any code in those circumstances, but I'm sure it shouldn't.
