Just saw a charge for $1.25 from them on my bank account and was confused by the Plainview, NY considering I live in Florida, but then I remembered I used my debit card to put air in my car tire.

Used at Shell station ($1.50) because I didn't have 6 quarters. Confusing directions. When you are side of vehicle you can't see digital pressure gauge on other side showing tire pressure. Would not use again except in emergency.

Confirmed...this appears to be a charge for the credit card usage of an air pump machine used for filling tires at a gas station (Santa Barbara County, CA). I remember when air for tires and water for your radiator were no-cost items at gas stations. In California, they have to give you the air at no cost if you purchase gas during that visit.

This is a legitimate charge for tire air pumps. I used it at a Speedway gas station and highly recommend using it for accuracy in air measurement. It is worth the charge.

If you see this charge on your bank statement, your credit card number has been stolen. They charge a small amount at first to see if you "catch" the charge. If not, they continue to charge other items within a very short period of time. Call your bank immediately if you did not put air in your tires. I became a victim very quickly.

Legitimate. I didn't recognize it at first, but I did put air in my tires at a local Speedway station. There are places in my neighborhood that provide air for free, but I was out of town, the "low tire pressure" light was on, so I stopped at the closest station. The charges was $1.00, as posted on the sign.

If you see this charge on your bank statement, your credit card number has been stolen. They charge a small amount at first to see if it goes through, if it goes through they charge a large amount. I had a $600 charge Nov 6 and they did the same thing on Nov 9. My credit card company caught the charge and disabled my credit card.

This charge is fraudulent. I have been hacked 6 times in the last 9 months. I have narrowed the hacking to a restaurant I frequent. This card has not left my house except when I used it at the restaurant. I have a small compressor at home that I use. I also keep a very small one in my car. I would advise people to buy one. They are $10-$20

This company may be legitimate, but it is also used by credit scammers to test your card after they steal your information. I had a 1.50 charge here without ever using any gas station service besides gas and 2 days later the fraud charges piled up. If you haven't filled your tires recently, cancel your card immediately.

These are those "ExactAir" tire pumps beside some gas stations that you pay for to pump the exact amount. Mine was $1.50 for 5 minutes of air. I'm in UT, but still just shows the NY info on my stmt

These are Legit charges. Funny how some claim it's fraud because they don't Like paying for air. Then don't Pay for it, you put your card against it. We all did. (Well, most did. Some.. could be fraud for small amounts but This is a Legit business. The Company HQ in NY throws many of us but yes, I think we all remember putting air in tires. Very convenient not having to walk back and get quarters, in the Cold!

Be careful if you receive this charge. It showed up on my account recently then I received a phone call from my bank about some more transactions. Apparently someone was testing my account out at the air pump then decided to go grocery shopping with my card number.

This is a legitimate charge. When I first saw it on my account I was concerned, but then I remembered I used an air machine in Camden, SC. Apparently this is the company that owns the machines. Don't let the location of the company confuse you. I imagine they have air machines all over the country and the location you see is their headquarters.

I live in Morton Il, and there is no way I used my card in one of these air and vacuum machines, but yet there it is, 1.50 pending against my debit card. SCAM SCAM , if you see this cancel your card and get a new one. Its not the 1.50 they are after. This is a test to see if you or your bank notice. If you do not, they will put you in the sucker catigory. Then you are in trouble.

At first, I thought this was a false charge since I live in Phoenix. Looked up the company online and remembered having to put air in a tire on a Sunday afternoon. Because of timing on my credit card bill, this charge took 5 weeks to show up. I'd forgotten all about the low tire problem, which happened well before Christmas. I agree with others that the charge is waaaay too much for what you get, but I needed air pressure and this was the only option I could find at the time.

Ok so , first off , air shouldn't cost $1.75. Second , if you're going to charge that , the pump itself should work perfectly. And last but not least , I used my debit card for the purchase and was charged $1.75 3 times !!! What a rip off !!!🤦‍♂️

It is a legitimate company. However their security or encryption system may be very vulnerable. I have gotten my debit card number stolen twice right after I use them. The first time I did not correlate the charge to someone stealing my debit card number. The second it was pretty obvious. I had not gone out in weeks because of covid19. So I had not used my debit card. First day I go out for a drive and the only stop I do is to inflate a tire, use it and two days later my bank calls me because someone has my card in California and spent $800.
