Pump King

Maybe this thread will be removed to avoid confusion? 

But if it is it can be read via google. Hiding things doesn't always solve the problem.

I've just found the first hhread via Google. It's not been closed so I presume you could add a comment should you wish.  But the thread after club together /discusdions /says hidden where this says club products and services. 

Why hide a thread? Why not close it for further comment before doing so? I know nothing of programming computers so these could be naive questions 😂. But if there is not an offer how can it still be found can it not need completely removed? 

Personally I'm not interested in either offer, but am somewhat puzzled that something can be trumpeted in print and online and then this, I have no idea what to call it, 😉 happens.

It's raised a question in my mind about the set up on here and whether site security is not the best. I'm not au fait with web site development but surely more secure sites would not appear on google via a quick search or would they? Are posts on other vanning forums so visible to outside viewing even when hidden?

Apologies, this is off track but what is the point of hiding something that the world can view?

It's a peculiarity of this forum. Do you recall posters managing to post in the moderators forum? 

Most forum software allows things that are hidden to stay firmly hidden. 

Hi everyone,

We can confirm Pump-King is not a scam.  Pump-King is a dedicated service providing licensed taxi drivers with discounted fuel.  The Club and Pump-King have been discussing rolling this service out to Caravan and Motorhome Club members.

Pump-King will be refunding the £2 admin fee to all members who signed up and do not store any card details.  Pump-King will be contacting all those who signed up directly confirming the refund.

We concur the adverts in the magazine were premature and caused unnecessary confusion; this was not the Club’s intention. 

With regards to the Pump-King webpage it was not live or accessible via our website.  The link shared on the original thread was found via a google search, this link should not have appeared on google which highlighted the digital indexing problem (this has now been fixed/removed).

Please be assured the Club is working hard to negotiate the best offers for members and we apologise profusely for the disappointment and inconvenience caused.

Thanks Rowena in obtaining a more complete answer to the debacle None of this is directly aimed at you as CM but unfortunately you are the face of the forum when something happens.

Thanks the explanation Rowena, but i am going to be mightly aggreived if it comes to light that the PK offering is being offered within CAMHC, head office staff maybe. I cant believe that a link appearing on the web to PK which when used automatically inserted the code CAHMC that CAHMC was not somehow complicit in providing this link.

Whilst I agree that this is probably not a scam I don't believe they "do not store any card details"

They issue you a card, you use it and they charge your "on file bank card details" (On a Friday of each week I seem to remember?)

Each to their own but I have now had my bank card changed so any card details they hold for me are now void.

I'm just miffed because I had to cancel my card and spend time sorting out payments on the new one.
