Member Offer: My Esso Card

Does anyone know how this actually works? I believed the fuel price was discounted but I used my card for the first time today and I paid the price that was on the pump. No discounted rate...

If you paid via your Esso card you should pay the discounted rate, however the receipt still shows the pump price.

Check the website https://www.myessocard.com/welcome and your purchase will show there, under receipts, and the amount will also appear on your banking statement at the reduced rate, or online if you have it.

It does take a few days though.

Having had experience of Agency fuel cards in my time with the transport industry, this is quite normal practice.

Thanks for the reply. I have checked my online banking and the Esso website, but nothing on there as yet. I bought premium diesel which should hopefully be 8p per litre cheaper than the pump price

I thought the price was for a certain week as I have text messages telling me the price from a date for that week, so doesn't matter what the pump price is you pay the price that esso put the card at.

correct, this week regular diesel is £1.26, so even if pump price is higher you only pay the £1.26, we should receive a text message every Friday giving a list of all prices.

HI Ken

I can confirm, all fuel types are indeed included in the scheme.

Received my fuel card today, then logged onto myessocard web site to retrieve my pin No as directed in the covering letter and guess what NO pin No, what sort of company are we dealing with

According to the club website this is the company offering the card to club members. At the bottom of the page after expanding terms and conditions. Maybe they can help. "https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/membership/member-offers/MyEssoCard/ "

Email Esso, contact details on website. They will sort out pin.

Help!  Perhaps I'm missing a trick here but I was always told that top brand fuel is better quality than any supermarket fuel, so in addition to any savings you should also be getting a better quality product that should mean a small increase in mpg and better engine performance / longevity - or have I got that wrong?

And while I'm here how do you activate the Esso card once you've got it?  My start up letter tells me to visit my profile to receive my pin.  I've opened up the "My Esso Card" page and can't see anyway to access my profile so can't activate my card.  Can anyone tell me how to get to my profile - please?

TIA
