According to the Daily Mail, millions of people drive to visit relatives between Christmas and the New year, and oil prices are expected to rise. However, a single refueling charge of A $ two hundred thousand would be absolutely shocking.
On December 19, 2017, Canberra resident Tina (Tina Tian) fueled her car at (Costco Service), a gas station in (Majura Park), Madeira Park, when she thought she had paid A $126 for gas with a credit card. Three days later, Tina looked at credit card consumption records and found that the fuel charge was as high as A $201265.20. Moreover, the gas station has not fixed the error.
Tina told Channel 7 that she was upset with marijuana. "I use credit cards most of the time, and I can`t use them now. I feel terrible and seem hopeless. It put a lot of pressure on me, especially during the holidays. Good City should solve the problem as quickly as possible, but the manager told me it would take weeks. "
During the holiday, Tina, who visited her family in Gold Coast, Queensland, was forced to freeze her credit card. Tina telephoned many customer service staff to explain the situation, learned to go to Brisbane store to handle. However, when Tina drove to the store for two hours, she was told that "Brisbane stores have no access to information about the transactions that took place in Canberra."
Tina said her credit card limit was only A $25,000, and she wondered why the issuing bank had not stopped the deal. Tina queried: "what`s the point of setting a credit card line if such a large deal is successful?"
The good market has issued a statement saying it is in contact with Tina and that it is an independent incident and is investigating the cause of the incident.
