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

We finally got our card, only to find diesel was only a penny cheaper than at our local Esso.  A penny is still a saving but we were expecting more.

Looks like the 'offer' prices  have risen in the last few weeks but the pump prices have dropped.

Davidklyne in case you missed it there have been 556 posts on this thread with the vast majority being complaints going back over a month. 

The very few replies that we have had from the club have not even touched the surface of the complaints with the exception of the double dipping. 

I think that the club needs to WAKE UP and answer some of the complaints or address the whole issue!

But then the 8/o replays have been answering as far  as possible multiple posts about the same thing,I would not expect a reply to each post, and I would think that as with most things jobs these days it is only a part of someone's workload in all the companies involved

Having had my card last week I thought I would give it a try yesterday (being brave after all the negative comments and complaints) to my embarasment after filling up to be told that my pin number was invalid after double checking on my account the number I used is the one that is showing on the account. I have E mailed and waiting a response.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I presume you then had to pay be some other means at the pump price?

Yes, it appears that others have had similar problems with their pin numbers not working. Not that this helps youundecided

When this offer first came out, I estimated that any benefit over supermarket fuel would be marginal. Having yet another card and consequent online account etc adds to life's complexity. I want to make my life simpler. From reading through over 500 responses I feel I made the right decision.

and in your estimate, how many people are using the card with no problems vs people having problems. I for one have had a card since it was first promoted, have used 3 times probably saved in the region of £13  vs my most local petrol station, Asda nearest supermarket and as you probably know this area of Newgate lane is a traffic nightmare so getting into and out of the Asda petrol station can be quite challenging, yes there are times when traffic not too bad but it is always a gamble. Much easier to drive to Park Gate, do some shopping and top up. works for me laughing

Each to their own, eh? I decided from the start that it wasn’t for me and I know I made the right decision for me. However, if it works for you, Rufs, saves you a few quid and gives you no hassle, then that’s the right choice for you.

Pump King Warning

 

They have started taking money out of my account twice for the same transaction.

Numerous e-mails and telephone calls no reply. I've even started to copy the club in, and they don't get a reply from them. 

Has the club, carried out any due diligence on this company? well I have, PK Fuels registered as a company in April 2018, Experian rate the company as HIGH RISK !!! Do I have to resort to the small claims court to get me money back ??

I've stopped using them please check your bank statements.

So this is still happening despite them saying it was a glitch that has been rectified.  You are not alone with the double dipping as we experienced it a few weeks ago as per my post in this thread.

Unfortunately it seems that the CC is turning a blind eye to this continued practice?

Not sure if it is still occurring as Sgiley posted the same in 'stories' section today saying that the incident happened on 5th January from memory. Maybe it is no longer happening but repayment not yet received?
