So I pick up a rental car in Atlanta. Drive to augusta Sunday night.

On Monday - I start getting the low tire indicator on the rental car. I ignore it for a few days. It gets worse

So I stop at a gas station in the pouring rain to get air.

I fill the tire up, then run errands and end up at a restaurant (rhinehearts) later that night

Around 11 I try to pay the bill. I can't find my credit card.
I go back to the house and tear it and the rental car apart but no credit card.

I remember the air machine at the gas station.

Around midnight I go back to the gas station air machine and there's my credit card….

Back at the house. I know I will not be able to sleep until I check the credit card charges on line.

I log on and discover 12 $2 charges for air.
2 other charges for that day were mine.

So to recap.

I left the card there my mistake…

12 people or 12 transactions hit the card…

No one took the card.

No one turned in the card.

No one added gas or anything else on the card….

I don't know about you but I'm still perplexed but happy I got it back with minimal issues.

I think this post is seriously mis-titled.

Weirdest should have been replaced with a word beginning with d.

And I would have dropped the Masters angle and just made it about you.

A bunch of people came buy and probably hit the air up button as sometimes they make it free.

Since they hit the button and your card was still in there, it just charged your card and the people getting air may have just thought it was free.

I havent had my first cup of coffee but that's what it seems like to me.

I think we are going to need the card number so we can check this out. Also an address and security code. Bonus info, I'm also a Nigerian Prince.

very generous of you to fill up tires for complete strangers. True Aggie!

it's pretty obvious it was a single person who saw your aggie ring and stopped at the 12th transaction just to send you a subtle message.

I found one in an air machine a few months ago, took it, and destroyed it. Didn't think leaving it with the sketchy clerk was the right move, so i chose to possibly inconvenience the dude vs have him get defrauded. I guess i should have filled my tires with it first as a fraud prevention fee, but i paid for my own

That's a really long post to let us know that you got to go to the Masters this year.

You could've just said, "Hey losers, I went to the Masters and you didn't!"

Funny that you tell this story since the exact same thing happened to me a week ago.
Low tire pressure warning while on the road to Dallas, stopped at a Valero to air it up, drove off and realized an hour down the road that I had left my card in the machine. Tried to call the store, no answer.
Checked my credit card balance online and just like you I had 12 $2 charges billed to me.
It was 1 AM so I seriously doubt 12 people aired their tires up during that time. Looks like those machines are set to keep billing automatically when you leave your card in them, up to a max of 12.
Visa got the 11 extra charges waved for me.
Hope you enjoyed the Masters.
