Another I just thought of - people who will burn a buck or two in gas to go to a station where the gas is 2¢ a gallon less. Let’s say you fill up with 15 gallons. Is it really worth 30¢ to drive out of your way, to say nothing of the fuel you burn getting there?? ---

Oh, and I have neither checks nor a debit card to access the funds - I’d have to go there in person to claim them. Frankly, $40 is hardly worth the time, gas, and toll to claim. They will mail you a bank check. Standard procedure. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > And that’s what’s going to happen. I just got a response to my email - they’re closing the account and sending me a check! Easy-peasy! See what I get for posting too soon.
