Member Offer: My Esso Card

So far I have not read anything on this thread that would entice me to sign up.😀

as i have an Esso station only 2 miles away i thought it would be a smart move, especially as we run 2 cars, but have to agree the administration has been very poor and I notice now a lack of response/apology from the club.

Not much use for me and I prefer to keep less useful cards out of my wallet space

This should be a BIG winner for me doing 40,000 miles pa only using either Shell/Esso Super Diesel and both my local garages are Esso !!

On Supermarket fuels, my car (3 ltr V6 diesel) averaged 34 mpg and clogged up the DPF soot filter.  I switched a year ago to Shell / Esso Supers and its never clogged up and has averaged 39 mpg ever since, so the extra cost is more than offset by the extra distance (+90 miles / tank).

Tesco 99 petrol is more economical too (even in a 1.0 litre VW Up) but no supermarket does a super diesel.

Motoring Expert "Honest John" swears by Shell Super fuels and I can now see why - just look at it as Pence Per Mile, not MPG.

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback. It’s great to hear that some of you have already received your cards and are making savings. To those of you that have not yet received your My Esso card, we are sincerely sorry. Due to the large amount of registrations, over 9,000 people have already signed up, there has been some delays. The team at My Esso card are working hard to resolve all issues and the Club is monitoring this discussion closely.  

For those considering joining My Esso Card but are curious about the discounted prices, here they are.  These are valid for one week and are published by text each Friday:

Diesel - £1.261

Unleaded - £1.185

Premium Diesel - £1.345

Premium Unleaded - £1.242

I hope this helps!

Initially I wan't going to bother with this offer but then thought it might be a useful thing to have so applied for a card.

It came through the post in a day or so and I used it to top the car up at a nearby Esso, by way of a test run, with about £20 worth of diesel.

We have no Asda here, so the cheapest diesel locally is Morrisons or Sainsburys at £1.31. Via the Esso card I paid £1.26 which came out of my current account a day or two afterwards, but gave a saving of 5p per litre on anything else available within 50 miles.... I also consider it better to be supporting a small local garage rather than any major national company.

I'm with you Justus.  If one has concerns about giving your card details well so be it.  But to me it seems to be a win win deal.  Thank you Club for negotiating it with Esso. I have my card and pin and received the weekly price on Friday by text msg which would give me a saving of 9p a ltr over my local Tesco.  I am ready to use it when I need to fill up.

Seems to be a lot of confusion being generated about this card.

It is up to the individual about giving card details to third parties, but been using PayPal for years and not had a problem with them.

Regarding fuel costs, you get a text on Friday stating the card price for fuel next week. My last one showed diesel at £1.261 p/l. The Esso garage is £1.319 p/l. So a saving there.

Now this 1p thing. If the Esso garage drops it's price to say, £1.261, then the card price will drop to £1.251, so giving this 1p saving per litre.

Local supermarkets are around £1.297 upwards for diesel.

Club just popped up as ad on my Facebook page advertising this. Join from £51 per year (thought membership went up to £52 in the mag, not sure on start date) this is the headline of three or four, short attention span 😂😂. Join and get first night free on another.
