Given that the requirement to enter your zip code is to prevent CC fraud, by correlating your Zip to the billing address of the card you’re using. I can’t see how 00000 or 90210 could work.

I know that when I first discovered this “enhancement” to the previously wonderful pay at the pump facility I used to enjoy in the past, I had thought it may just be for data gathering. So I entered the Zip code of a relation’s home address, only to have my card rejected.

So now I need to “deposit” dollars with the attendant in the shop, before filling up
