Member Offer: My Esso Card

Will you be auctioning the other card on here?

Well, I'm still seriously considering applying for the Esso card but all these reports of no cards turning up or two cards turning up is a bit worrying.

I'm still minded to open a separate bank a/c with a debit card, which I can top up to cover any Esso fuel purchase, so that any hacking into that a/c is damage limited. Popped into my bank yesterday and explained the situation to them and they said there would be no problem to open a separate a/c which I could top up from my current a/c for such purposes.

I think, in fact I have, a separate account for things similar to this is extremely sensible. It limits any financial loss and negates any comeback and stress should the worse happen and there is wriggle room for whoever to deny liability. I have a very limited limit credit card attached to it too. I use for online purchases and if I wanted one of these cards I'd make that the account that pays.

I've had lots of TV licensing renewal emails, if we hadn't been out of the country for 2 months after ours expired last year I could so easily have fallen for it, it appeared that convincing! It suggested a date during the month rather than the last day of the month which caused me to pause and think and I checked my email copy. Should I have been caught it would have been this account which may have a float of as much as 😯 £50 so my losses would be limited. Unlike one poor couple who lost £9,900 and the bank says NO.

I think we are being asked to do more online and there are nasty folk out there who'd love to take your hard earned money. Think back to years ago you didn't regularly carry large amounts of cash in your pocket or handbag, theft or simply losing being obvious reasons, and folks would say you were being irresponsible  - personally I cant see the difference here. Anywhere can fall foul of the rogues!

Finally got my card after a long wait and several texts promising delay was being sorted. However, I can’t access my account to get my PIN using my login email address - doesn’t recognise it. All communication to-date has been via text rather than email. Attempts to resolve via helpline haven’t resulted in any progress or confidence that anybody is urgently looking into it. So, 1 step forward, 1 step back! 

Consider myself quite lucky received my card in December and have used it twice without any problems, but wait a minute, in the post today i received another card with a totally different number and instructions as to how i could register my card, checked on web site and my previous card still there with original pin, have put new card into box 13.

No, it might be linked to my Bank Account. 

Just got the text with next weeks prices and unless sainsburys put their price up by next week it's cheaper to use them.

I guess it must depend on where in the uk you are and possibly how far away is the nearest Asda...

Our local Sainsbuy's is currently £1.30 compared to Esso's £1.23 for diesel....

just noticed pump king have taken money on two transactions I’ve already paid. I have emailed them to hopefully get them sort it .

Also it appears this is happening to a lot of card users  according to posts that are appearing on various caravan groups on facebook

Think CAMC need to be contacting pump king as this isn't acceptable

The more that gets posted about the card company the less chance i will be useing it
