A new Credit Card Processing loophole has recently surfaced which has allowed some people to use Gift Cards to get Free Gas.  This trick only works at a few Gas Stations and will no longer work once the Gas Stations and the Credit Card companies correct this loophole.

With rising and falling Gas Prices, getting Free Gas can really help out in reducing your expenses.  So basically what you need to do is purchase one of those Gift Credit Cards from your local supermarket or drug store.

It will either need to be a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express Gift Card which can be used at a Gas Station just like a Credit Card.  Try to find the Gift Card with the smallest cash value possible.  I know that American Express and Visa both have a $5 Gift Card and that will work perfect for this trick.

Take your $5 Gift Credit Card (or higher amount) and spend all but $2 of the balance so that only $2 is left available on the card.  Go to your local Gas Station and use the Gift Card to pay at the pump. 

Start pumping your Gas.  See if the Gas stops pumping at $2 or continues to add gas to your car until your tank is full. 

With some Gas Stations their Credit Card authorization system only checks to see if the Credit Card is valid, it does not check the available credit left on the card.  Therefore, the pump will allow you to fill your tank and will not realize that the funds are not available until it finalizes your transaction with the total purchase amount.

By this time your gas has already been pumped into your vehicle.  Since these Gift Credit Cards are not associated with any particular name the Credit Card company will not be able to charge you any additional funds over available Credit Limit.
