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.

To find out more about this member offer visit My Esso Card Member Offer on the Club website

Being curious I have looked at this week's version of the T&Cs - no mention of the 1p guaranteed saving!

The "offer" page (found by following the link on Rowen's OP reads

Save on fuel across the country
Members save on average 5p per litre off Diesel Unleaded and 8p per litre off Premium Diesel and Premium Unleaded against the pump price

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new Pump-King membership card, to help drive down the cost of touring. Members are guaranteed to save on fuel at the largest network of Esso stations across the UK.

Benefits of your Pump-King membership card: 

SAVE an average of 8 pence per litre on premium and 5 pence per litre on standard unleaded and diesel.^
Earn Tesco Clubcard points when you fill up at every Esso station.
FREE to sign up, no transaction and no processing fees!

Again no mention of the 1p guaranteed saving!

However, Rowena's OP still quotes " 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".

So, what is the real life situation? PLEASE can we have clarity from Rowena, Laura Cass or Tolga Dervish?

The 1p saving is still mentioned on the sign up page at https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/membership/member-offers/fuel-card/

If you go to the bit mentioned "Terms and conditions" you will find it there!

I would like to bring it to the attention of all that if you signed up under earlier T&Cs and have not been notified of any changes the original T&Cs still stand and you should still get the 1p discount.  I have also noticed that the saving has now dropped to 3p from 5p so a big difference.

I think that the CC are hanging their heads in shame regarding this debacle and those responsible have gone into hiding and refusing to answer any questions.

Posted on 28/02/2019 11:47

I think from a PK perspective and possibly the club, the 1p discount is the least of their worries. If you look on the web it is not just club that have jumped into bed with PK, I have a forces discount card and was offered a similar offer which by all reports has also turned to rats S***.  I think all staff at East Grinstead have jumped ship.undecidedHave to  say my card still working correctly and saving me money, but i do keep a close eye on invoices/money debited from my bank.

Are you looking at an old version of T&Cs? The current version you see when you click on the Terms and Conditions link at the bottom of your Profile page is the one I have quoted. They are very different to the screen shot yo have used.

That screenshot I posted is from the CC signup page, before you get to the Pump-King page. It was taken just before I posted it. Rather stupidly I don't have the PDF from the T&Cs from when I signed up!

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 aroundwink

Any update whether the transaction has gone through okay on the credit card?

I would also like to know why moderators have chosen to remove the content of so many posts on pages 120 and 121 including posts from Rowena?  It would be helpful to know to avoid it happening again.

At the risk of asking a stupid question, why do the T&Cs on the club sign up page differ from the ones on the PumpKing page. Which is correct Rowena?

I don't know that the 1p was ever in the contract that PK published. but it is certainly on the 'Terms and Conditions' section at the bottom of this page https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/membership/member-offers/fuel-card/

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer...

From the T&Cs on Pump-King website at the moment:
3.4  A discount will automatically be applied to all transactions and applies to all Fuel.

Seems hard to see how a "discount" is being applied if people are charged at the Pump-King rate if the pump price is lower.
