Member Offer: My Esso Card

I 've had the text this morning regular Diesel £1.264 unleaded £1.191, from my window I can see the Morrison's fuel station selling diesel at £1.227 & unleaded at £1.137.

Its been the same for the last few weeks just not worth using the card!

Postman has been and gone and no sign of any card?

Could you tell me where abouts on Facebook to find these responses please?

No new card here, but my weekly text just arrived with a price that doesn't really offer any savings. Just looking back through my text messages and the first ones offered a price of around £1.19. I'll stick with it, but only if I have to do an emergency splash and dash on the motorway.

The prices at first were 4p cheaper than supermarkets round here, then it reduced to 3p then 2p, 1p and now they are the same as our Morrison's and Sainsbury's. I expect they are testing the waters, putting the prices up and see how many still use the card. In the long term I guess that the fewer that use the card the more chance the price will come down again. Personally, for diesel, I just buy the best deal I can find at the time, I have no loyalty to any provider or brand. I have much the same attitude to supermarkets, and caravan sites.. 

Reported your post, so will see if there's any responses.

If anyone has any doubts about how dreadful this Caravan Club scam actually is, on Thursday (14th February 2019) on the A85 in rural Perthshire a local Jet station was able to sell diesel for £1.21 a litre.  Compare to the CC offer of £1.25. This shows how big a lie we are being fed.

Now, the saving being advertised by The Caravan Club is stated as an AVERAGE of 8p a litre.  That does not mean that anyone will necessarily actualy save exactly 8p, but that there will have to be many saving greater than 8p.  There are plenty of reports on CT of savings LESS than 8p, but, as far as I know, none greater.

This sorry state of affairs is still being promoted. It could have been withdrawn at any time since it became obvious it was going wrong. So I for one believe that there is some reward of money, or money's worth, to The Caravan Club for every one of their members who signs up for the deal.

It is now time the Advertising Standards Authority were invited to become involved, and perhaps the Office of Fair Trading as well, since both advertising and trading are suspect.

I feel I need to respond in defence of the Esso card. I have had one since the New Year and I buy around £40 of diesel a week which by using the card gives me a saving of around £1.50 every time plus the Tesco points. I am fortunate in as much that I drive past the Esso garage every day so do not have to go out of my way which I would have to do in order to get "cheap" fuel from Asda thereby negating any saving I would make. There are always going to be winners and losers with every scheme you just have to decide if its of value to you, however the doubters must ask themselves how can the "supermarkets" supply the fuel at a much lower price and if it is inferior to (for arguments sake Esso) then what long term damage is that fuel doing to the engine in there car. I prefer to err on the side of caution. This is just my personal point of view.

But have you had your new card yet, LF?🤔

Let's not get into the supermarket fuel issue yet again. 🙄
