Member Offer: My Esso Card

Sooner or later, someone is going to lose a card, or have it cloned.

It's not clear what the limit of your liability is then.

Really?  I think we all know that its never coming back up!

I realise that Rowena is in a difficult position, but statement like this erode trust in this offer, and in the club as a whole.

I'm content with braintree being used as the payment engine, but it seems extremely unlikely that PK are not retaining any personal data.

Even if PK do not retain debit card numbers, they are clearly retaining email and phone numbers.  Probably addresses too.

The thought that the whole scheme was little more than a data gathering exercise was voiced near the beginning of the thread. 

Does being charged on a card other than the one listed count as fraud ?

Ok it was the original one I signed up with but have been and amended details a few times and it shows the correct numbers of card to be debited but they debit the wrong card !

Emails seem to make no difference to them, and I would like to know which club officials set this up, and what the club or the officials get from it ? 

A bit more transparency is needed I do think and a proper statement from the club stating their involvement in all this. 

I had been hanging on to my card, hoping that PK would get their house in order.  I've decided that's unlikely in the near future and have cancelled my card/account.

If PK get things like this wrong, I have very limited faith in their ability to protect my personal data.

My trust in the club has also been severely dented.  Not just for promoting the deal (we all make errors of judgement from time to time) but for failing to get under the skin of some very serious issues.

Can Rowena, Laura, Tolga or anyone else involved with this card and PumpKing give a CAST IRON GUARENTEE that when the account is closed ALL data held by PK and others the data is shared with have destroyed all that data and it will not be used for any purpose?

I have emailed PK numerous times and yet to get an answer!

really, i would like to know how many people can PROVE that they have had unsolicited emails/texts or what ever since they lodged their personal info with PK, I certainly have not, apart from the many txts yesterday that were clearly a software glitch, and how many have had their bank hacked. Terrible promotion and yes the club should be ashamed, but there is a lot of fake information being banded around, like i dont recognise your statement above and being a card holder I have followed this post closely, but i am always open to being proved wrong.  

You may not recognise it, Rufs, but I remember it.

Btw, I haven’t said there was any substance to the idea.

Although I cannot prove it, after joining Pumpkin and within two weeks there was a definite increase in the amount of spam email into my Inbox and it was not the usual drivel about making things bigger. 

It is also an email address I only use for companies which I think are well known and reputable.  The email address used was not the same one as the one used for logging into the CC website.  Coincidence?
