About Amoco

Amoco is a long-standing gasoline and convenience store brand in the United States, now operated under BP. Its stations typically offer gasoline, diesel, motor oil, and basic automotive products, along with an attached convenience store that may sell snacks, drinks, tobacco products, and other on‑the‑go essentials. Many locations may also offer additional services such as air pumps, car washes, and restrooms.

A charge with a descriptor like "AMOCO#2192400TA MILE" usually represents a purchase made at a specific Amoco fuel station, where the number sequence corresponds to the station/store identification and the remainder to an abbreviated location or internal code. This charge could be for fuel at the pump, items bought in the convenience store, a car wash, or a combination of these. In some cases, you may see a pending charge or an amount different from your final receipt due to automated fuel dispenser authorization holds.

If you have questions about this charge, first compare the transaction date and amount to your fuel receipts or recent visits to an Amoco station. For issues like incorrect amounts or double charges, contacting the specific station (phone number often on the receipt or visible via map search for that location) is usually the fastest route. For broader concerns, you can contact BP/Amoco customer care through their website. Your card issuer can also help dispute unauthorized transactions if you don’t recognize the charge and cannot match it with a recent visit to an Amoco station.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the amount I see from Amoco different from the fuel I actually purchased?

Gas stations, including Amoco locations, often place a temporary authorization hold (sometimes $50–$150) when you pay at the pump to verify available funds. Once the transaction settles, this hold is replaced with the actual purchase amount, typically within a few business days.

What does the number in the descriptor (e.g., AMOCO#2192400TA MILE) mean?

The number sequence in the descriptor usually refers to the specific Amoco station’s internal or store ID, and the trailing text may be a shortened location or route name. It helps the operator and your card issuer identify the exact station where the transaction occurred.

How can I verify which Amoco station charged my card?

Match the transaction date and approximate time with your fuel receipts or recent visits. You can also search online for “Amoco” near the city or area you were in; then compare station addresses and phone numbers. Calling the likely station with your transaction date, time, and amount can help confirm the purchase.

How do I get a refund or correction for an incorrect Amoco charge?

Contact the specific Amoco station where you fueled or shopped, bringing your receipt and card statement if possible. Most billing corrections and refunds are processed at the station level. If the station cannot resolve the issue, contact your card issuer to initiate a dispute.

Why do I see multiple small Amoco charges on the same day?

Multiple transactions may appear if you made more than one purchase (for example, separate fuel and in‑store transactions) or if a pending authorization hold and the final posted charge are both visible temporarily. The hold should disappear after the final charge settles.

Can Amoco charges appear under BP or another name on my statement?

Yes. Because Amoco is a BP brand, some statements may show descriptors that include BP or variations of the station’s legal business name alongside or instead of “Amoco.” Review the transaction location and date to confirm it aligns with a BP/Amoco station you visited.

How can I contact Amoco or BP customer service about a charge?

For specific transaction issues, start with the individual station using the phone number listed on your receipt or from an online map listing. For broader concerns or if you cannot reach the station, visit amoco.com (which routes to BP’s fuels site) to find BP customer service contact options, such as web forms or regional support numbers.

Does Amoco offer car wash or in‑store purchases that might explain a non-fuel charge?

Yes. Many Amoco-branded stations operate convenience stores and car washes. A charge that doesn’t match a fuel amount could be for snacks, beverages, tobacco products, a car wash, or other in‑store items purchased at that location.
