Member Offer: My Esso Card

Posted on 22/11/2018 14:32 by RowenaBCAMC

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.

On the basis that here Esso is a lot more expensive than supermarket fuels I do wonder what the savings will really be.

Quote  - No fees to sign up to and no transaction fees ??     Just reading the small print re the application T & C's  for a card .

Don't know if there are any other niggly  crafty seemingly  little hidden terms and conditions  in the small print but you are  agreeing   to purchase a minimum of 15 litres of fuel each time or else they say they will impose a £1 fee each time - I realise this is not probably regarded as huge figures but why omit this from the Clubs advert  highlighting  the main  terms and conditions of this offer!!

So  - Suggested addition line to the clubs advert for this special offer :-

Based on a minimum purchase of 15 litres per transaction or you agree  to be charged a minimum £1.00 surcharge per transaction by the card company,

(as per the terms and conditions you have signed and agreed to by accepting this offer)

unless anything has been since changed or amended on this

These are the T&C's regarding min / max amounts as per the original T&C's when I applied for the card.

3.10 Limits may be placed on the Fuel Cards to prevent them from being overdrawn. The maximum volume of litres of Fuel that can drawn in any 24 hour period is 150 litres.

3.11 The use of the Fuel Card by the Cardholder is subject to the Cardholder drawing at least 5 litres of Fuel in each transaction. For each transaction that the Cardholder draws less than 5 litres of Fuel, Pk Fuel Limited is entitled to charge the Cardholder a £1 administration fee.

These have now changed, without any notification to the card holder so I would presume these terms still apply?

Unless someone knows different? I, certainly haven't been informed of these changes.

Every time Esso card has sent the price we can get petrol/diesel for it has been way above the price that supermarkets or even local Esso stations are selling at. It all seems a con. It is probably based on Southern petrol prices but here up North..... we are always cheaper. This week fuel at Asda pumps is £1.137 but with the Esso card I can get it at £1.176 !!?!?- even the local Esso station is £1.167!!

We’re also in the north - the first couple of times we used the card for diesel, it was at 1.23 and our Esso stations were much higher, as were the supermarkets. The last two weeks have been 1.25 for Esso but the local supermarkets are 1.23 so reverted back.  

Having said that both transaction we have made have been pain free; fill up, confirmation email 2 days later and payment taken 1 day after that.
