About ARCO

ARCO is a major fuel retail brand operating primarily in the western United States, offering gasoline and diesel at company-branded service stations, often co-located with ampm convenience stores. Stations typically provide pay-at-the-pump service, a small in-store selection of snacks and beverages, and in some locations car washes or air and water stations. ARCO is positioned as a value-focused fuel provider, emphasizing lower pump prices through a streamlined business model.

A charge labeled “ARCO 901357” on a bank or card statement usually refers to a fuel purchase or related in-store transaction at a specific ARCO station identified by the store number 901357. Transactions may cover fuel, convenience store items, car wash services, or a combination of these. Some customers may also see separate small temporary authorizations when they pay at the pump, especially for debit or credit card transactions, which are later adjusted to the final purchase amount.

If you have questions about a specific ARCO charge, first compare the date, time, and amount with your fuel receipts or your vehicle usage. You can often contact the individual station directly (using the station’s phone number found via maps or on your receipt) for details about a given transaction. For broader issues, such as disputes or problems with card authorizations not dropping off, you may need to contact your card issuer for investigation. Keeping pump or in-store receipts and noting the station’s address or number (like 901357) will make it easier to clarify any billing concerns with either ARCO or your bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the “ARCO 901357” charge on my statement mean?

The description “ARCO 901357” typically refers to a transaction at a specific ARCO gas station identified internally as store number 901357. The charge usually relates to fuel, convenience store items, or a car wash purchased at that location.

Why is there a small ARCO charge or a higher pending amount than what I actually pumped?

When you pay at the pump, ARCO (like many fuel brands) may place a temporary authorization hold that can be higher than your final purchase amount to verify available funds. Once the final fuel amount is known, the hold is adjusted and only the actual purchase amount is posted; the hold usually disappears within a few business days depending on your bank.

Can ARCO transactions be split between fuel and in-store purchases on my statement?

Most often, fuel and in-store items are combined into a single ARCO transaction if purchased in one checkout. However, if you pay at the pump for fuel and then pay separately inside the store, you may see two distinct ARCO charges for the same day, each reflecting one of the transactions.

How can I get a copy of a receipt for my ARCO 901357 transaction?

To obtain a copy of a receipt, contact the specific ARCO station associated with the 901357 store number. If you don’t have the address, you can search online for nearby ARCO locations and call the station you visited on that date; they may be able to look up the transaction by date, time, and amount.

How do I dispute an ARCO charge that I don’t recognize?

First, verify that no one else with access to your card used it at ARCO and check your recent fuel stops and receipts. If you still don’t recognize the charge, contact your card issuer to initiate a dispute. They may also recommend you attempt to contact the ARCO location directly with transaction details if available.

Does ARCO offer any fuel discount or rewards programs that might affect billing amounts?

ARCO participates in various regional fuel discount and partner programs (sometimes via third parties like certain cards or apps). Depending on the program, discounts may be applied at the pump or as statement credits. Check the specific program’s terms or your receipt to confirm how discounts are reflected in the final charge.

Why do I see multiple ARCO charges on the same day for similar amounts?

Multiple charges on the same day can occur if you made more than one visit, completed separate transactions (e.g., fuel at the pump and a store purchase inside), or if an initial authorization hold and the final posted charge both still appear temporarily. The duplicate-looking pending item should drop off after your bank’s standard processing time.

Can I cancel or reverse an ARCO transaction after fueling if I made a mistake at the pump?

Once fuel has been dispensed, the transaction generally cannot be cancelled, but if you believe there was a pump malfunction or incorrect amount charged, contact the station manager at that ARCO location as soon as possible with the pump number, time, and receipt. For unresolved issues, your bank can help you open a formal dispute.
