What this charge usually means
Seeing "CHV 33670 AUSTIN TX" on your statement means a transaction occurred at a Chevron fuel station located in AUSTIN, TX. Gas stations often place a temporary hold (usually $1 or $75–$100) before the final amount posts.
Common reasons this appears
- Gas fill-up at Chevron station #33670
- Pay-at-pump temporary authorization (often $1 or $75–$100) before final amount
- Combination of fuel and in-store convenience items
- Diesel or premium fuel with higher-than-expected amount
How to verify this charge
- Review your Chevron fuel rewards app for transaction history
- Check if the amount matches a typical fuel fill-up for your vehicle
- Verify whether anyone else who drives your car used the card
- Look for a $1 or $75 temporary hold that will adjust to the actual pump total
When to worry
Fuel station charges are a common target for fraud due to card skimmers at pumps. If you cannot account for this purchase, especially if the location is unfamiliar, freeze your card and contact your issuer. Multiple small gas charges in a short time are a strong fraud indicator.
