Hi everyone,

We wanted you to be the first to know about a new member offer with My Esso Card. The My Esso Card is a fuel card that provides savings at 1,300 Esso fuel stations to help drive down the cost of touring. Members are guaranteed to save on fuel at every Esso station across the UK with the only consumer facing fuel card.

We are the only organisation within the touring industry able to provide this offer to members.  

What is the saving?

On average members will typically save 8p per litre on premium diesel or unleaded fuel and 5p per litre on standard diesel or unleaded fuel. That’s a typical saving of £5.60 per tank on premium fuel or £3.50 on standard fuel (based on 70 litre tank of fuel).

The saving varies based on the My Esso Card special rate and the Esso pump price rate. In the unlikely event that the pump price is lower than the My Esso Card special rate members are guaranteed to save 1p per litre on the pump price. You can use the My Esso Card to fill up all your vehicles, not just the one you tour with.

There are no fees to sign up and no transaction or processing fees. You can also earn your Tesco Clubcard points when filling up.  

We are also running a competition for members for a chance to win free fuel.

To launch this great new offer, My Esso Card are giving Caravan and Motorhome Club members an exclusive chance to win free fuel. 10 lucky winners will win 175 litres of fuel and another 10 lucky winners 75 litres of fuel!  Members need to register for a card and fill by 31 December 2018 to be entered into the random prize draw.  Winners will automatically have the fuel credit added to their My Esso Card account.

Looks like a very good deal to me even though I've always paid by credit card as I don't use a debit card for anything, but that's no hardship.

So having recently registered for My Esso Card I couldn't find any confirmation that the card, at the texted weekly fuel prices, can be used on motorways, at Tesco Express garages, or in Europe, so I contacted Esso.  Esso confirmed that the weekly fuel prices are applicable to all Esso garages including motorway services and at Tesco Express garages "as they are Esso garages".  As for Europe, the card is not valid in Europe "at the present time" Esso said, which is contrary to what others have posted on this discussion.

It's a no-brainer.  Can't wait to fill up on the motorway.

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.

Although Esso is our nearest garage when passing Morrison's today, petrol was £1.15 and diesel £1.25. I've never seen our A road Esso garage beat the supermarket prices and even with a discount I doubt whether it will.

For anyone out on the road consuming a lot of fuel all discounts are probably worth it but I would think the majority will stick with the major discounters.

the figures from Rowena would say not

Due to the large amount of registrations, over 9,000 people have already signed up, there has been some delays.

Having the card is one thing ............... I've got a bus pass but only used it under a dozen times in 6 years. Personally I know that I will use an Esso garage 4 times a year and guess a maximum of 150 litres. The caravan leaves home 4 times a year and the X-Trail is taken to the Esso garage to put air in tyres.

My point is quite simple;  you suggested that Brue was wrong in thinking that 'the majority will stick with the major discounters' due to the 9,000 who have ordered a card. I merely was pointing out that there is a vast difference between having a card and using it regularly.

I don't think that you needed quite as many question marks by the way Rufs
