Shell AVGAS / Jet Bowser problems
 

Just a quick note to anyone who uses Shell outlets via a credit card.

There was a processing change made by some banks, most likely ANZ and Westpac that renders your credit card transaction declined, despite your coorect pin or credit limit being OK. There is a bank industry glitch that someone did not test through properly basically.

From my call to COMPAC today they believe that since they tetsted it and advised the banks there has been corrective action happening and should be rolled out at the end of the week.

Too bad if you were stranded in Coober Pedy with an ANZ Visa card and no fuel :uhoh:

There will be a software upgrade for these bowsers in the next day or so, apparently.

So when is BP / Mobil setting up a bowser / truck at CAB Jaba? :E

We wish:sad:

It seems that ever since Shell installed their new "you-beaut" CC machine at YCAB (and simultaneously dumped the services of the previous agent, the ever-helpful Jim T), this has been an unmitigated disaster. Where else can you approach the bowser with serious misgivings as to whether it will actually give you fuel???

Please sir, can we have someone (anyone) else?

'jabadabadoo' you should know that it's a leap year (Feb 29th) this year so next time wait 'till the next day b4 using any computer bank related contraption!:ok:
See told ya SE planes where dangerous. Had you bin in a twin then you wouldn't be able to afford the fuel in the first place so the whole exercise would have been academic buddy!:E
