That's what I did. And I even double checked that the whole $75 wouldn't be held for a $10 transaction. The Arco by my place takes credit, and doesn't charge the pesky $0.55 fee to use it.
I rarely go to Arco. I needed gas and Costco was closed. Nothing else around. But now I know that they'll hold $75 on a firm transaction and I'll avoid it like the plague it is.
