Member Offer: My Esso Card

 "Pile it high - Sell it cheap"  as someone back in the history of Tesco once said.

Costco will let anyone join the club now - how do you think I got in?

Is it still the case at Costco that the ticket prices do not include vat which is added at checkout we were members years ago

With modern technology they show both prices, and if you are an "individual member" it is the inclusive price that is shown on the receipt.

Still, one has to pay with a debit card.  Wonder who else works that way . . . . ?

Ro said: 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.

I will be testing this today.  Our local Esso is £1.249.  Pump King price this week is 1.259 for diesel.  I'm expecting the Pump King price to come out as £1.239.  The takes it as lower than out Asda and Sainsbury's.

David,  on my very first transaction back in December  with PK my forecourt till receipt was for a total of £58.17 for 46.2 litres @  £1.259 they debited my account for  £58.35 and still waiting for them to recompense me for there incompetence. I lost all faith in the debacle that ensued and cut the Esso card up and later emailed PK requesting my refund - guess what I am still waiting.

Good luck.  I hope it works.

I believe the advice from Rowena earlier in this thread, was to pay by som eother means, and send a copy of your receipt to PK to get a credit.

It seems a very poor method, but there doesn't seem to be an automated system to just do it from the PK end.

The cost of membership per annum at Costco is £22.00 excluding VAT and £26.40 inclusive of VAT and not as you quote at £37.00.Fuel is only one of the many benefits of the membership fee.

This is similar to the Caravan Club which offers many benifits to its members for a per annum fee.

In my outline of fuel costs in my area,I also included the cost of Texaco which is also a major brand of fuel such as Esso and Shell.There are a total of 5 Texaco filling stations in my area and the quoted cost is an average of 117.9 in comparison to Esso pump price of 121.9 and the Pump King price of 122.7 all of which are national brands of fuel.

PK receipt arrived this morning, after Saturday's stop at the motorway services, and thankfully I've been charged the PK rate, not the pump price of £1.53 a litre 

Like my last receipt this one was made out as a VAT invoice, but the bottom line was correct, so no worries there.  The only shame is that the PK site rejected my attempts to change my payment method to a credit card - not the end of the world.

Having the ability to refuel at motorway services (albeit a limited range) is a real plus point of the scheme, especially when towing.

Not sure where you manged to get £37 from as none of the membership fees are anything like £37 🤔
