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.

What is the point if you don't have the mileage? If they have the other details why not the mileage, but then it seems in your opinion they can do no wrong?

yup, as i have said previously, my card has worked since day one and i calculate that i have saved £13 in just over a month.

Do you get the mileage, if you pay by debit card, of course not, not that i use it much, but is there not something in your car that gives you mileage?. Did notice in the press today that Tesco are offering 5pence off per ltr, but you have to spend £50 in store and it is only valid until 10th Feb, non of the Tesco stores within 3 miles of me have petrol stations, but i do have 2 Esso stations within 2 miles, brilliant.

I am impressed as got a prompt reply to a query I raised with the CC using email. Regarding the T&Cs they have stated the following;

Thank you for contacting the Club regarding the My Esso Card.

The Terms and Conditions that were in place when you signed up for the offer still apply. When the original webpage was taken down for upgrades it was replaced by https://pump-king.co.uk/welcome. The new Terms and Conditions showing on this page are not applicable to the My Esso offer, and the Pump King team are working on updating this to the original Terms and Conditions.

Hope this clarifies for those that already have the card under the old T&Cs

I applied for an Esso Card two months ago and still haven't received it. Every week I get a text message quoting the price for next week, the last three texts have added that the backlog of orders has now been cleared.

I have attempted phoning on many occasions, but the line is eternally engaged. I have emailed them three times and get an instant reply, saying that they will get back to me ASAP. So far nothing has happened.

I now read that the price quoted in the text does not include VAT, which makes the fuel more expensive than the pump price. So I now wonder if It is just better to forget about it.

Not sure where you got the info regarding VAT not bing included in the discount price as it is included in the discount price?

Has anyone worked out how to get their PIN, if the one on the pump-king website doesn't work? Before I got the card it had one PIN on there, and shortly after my card was delivered the PIN on their website changed. Tried the card for the first time this morning, but failed as the PIN code currently on my account isn't right! Hind-sight says I should have kept a record of the previous PIN code!

I could try to contact Pump-King, but that seems a bit pointless at the moment!

Seems the only way of making progress is to ask a club official to pursue the issue on your behalf directly with Pump King. Posting stuff on here won’t get you very far, but might make you feel better!

We really need the person responsible for bringing this to the club to explain exactly what due diligence was followed ( I now doubt any) and what binding assurances the club received that this whole scheme is above board and to the real benefit of members.

Posted on 01/02/2019 12:14

Out of interest has anyone raised the issue on the fb pages? The club still promotes this in adverts on fb. They respond far swifter and more often than here. Just a thought 😉

I agree it is much better offer than the previous Shell card. A disadvantage point is, you only can use it with your debit card account and unfortunately can not be used with an credit card account.

I’m getting the impression there are more disadvantages than that, CS. ☹️

PS. Welcome to the forum.
