Also, if there are any stations that take credit cards, do they get coded right as fuel stations in your experience on your statement. I know Dubai has lots of reward credit cards, so I don't think this is too strange a question, but I wanted to know what my options were.

Thanks,

Was driving for 5 days in the Emirates this summer. Cash was king! Never "saw" a station with a card-device, however maybe its possible to pay in the shop.

Dont know about your other question
