Member Offer: My Esso Card

Posted on 24/02/2019 08:52 by Yertiz

Hmm, I don't know if this has been posted anywhere on this mammoth thread but......

I logged in to My pump-king account this morning and went to my stored cards, where I noticed it stated I could delete my current debit card?

Having also noticed that it said I could "Please delete your old credit card before add new one."

So I deleted my stored debit card and added a new CREDIT card to my account, which, it appears to have accepted!?

Now, whether there will follow a message from Pump-King about the change i don't know yet, but I'm happier that I have stored a credit card, with a low credit limit, rather than my Debit card.

Be interesting to see if everything works that way around

The Ts&Cs only talk of a debit card - so the IT seems to be a bit ahead of the legals.

 

No real surprise there!

I suppose, for those concerned about storing their debit card, it may be a blessing?

However, deleting the card on the website may well have little effect, as they may well have it stored elsewhere, maybe??

Back in December when I applied for my card I used my own email address. However, when things went pear shaped I was asked by the club to re-apply for the card, which I did. I couldn't, though, use my own email address "Because it had already been used" and so had to use my wife's address. I commented about this and Laura from the club sorted it for me and my account eventually reverted to my own email address. Whilst all the emails from PK come into my address, when I received my promised £5.00 credit, although the notification was sent to my address, on the documentation it also showed my wife's email address.

So, whilst PK say they will delete personal information they don't necessarily do it completely or correctly so credit / debit card details may well still be stored elsewhere.

Your card details are stored in a non EU country and probably on the same servers that are used by PayPal.

Is that the same as saying "Broadcast throughout the Underworld"?

I used my new card today, just to check it works, £25 to top up the car. PIN number doesn't appear on the front as some have reported.  It was actually 1p more expensive using the card than Morrisons, but I wanted to test it anyway. Shame the Esso price seems to be going up, I put £80 worth of diesel in the van yesterday on our way home in the van at an Asda, 3p cheaper than Pumpkin... makes no odds to me though.
