- Fuel purchase at Chevron in SAN FRANCISCO, CA
- Convenience store purchase (snacks, drinks, supplies)
- Pre-authorization hold from pay-at-pump that has not yet settled
- Car wash or other station service
How to verify this charge
- Check whether you filled up at a Chevron station in SAN FRANCISCO, CA recently
- Look for a receipt in your car or email from a loyalty app
- Compare the charge date with your recent travel or commute route
- Wait 1–3 days for pre-authorization holds to settle to the final amount
When to worry
