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.

They don't ask for credit card details but they are asking for debit card details, see the T&Cs.

I have not used the card, but thought you needed a PIN to enable the transaction. If you loose the card it can’t be used without the PIN. Or am I wrong?

At least you can rely on your bank to cancel a card quickly. I wouldn’t want to chance that with an Esso card.frown

agreed but how many cars can you fill in say a 24 hrs period, e.g. 10x£60 = £600, they can raid your bank account for much more in a very short period of time, some consolation might be that in most circumstances of your debit card being misused, your bank would cover your lossess

what concerns me now is the lack of any response from the club re this issue, My guess is that a number of members have been affected, I have no way of knowing if the telephone call i took  this am was a scam, I know my bank account has not been raided, and i have taken no action re the call, but this is the 2nd time the club has tried to issue a fuel card of sorts but looks to have screwed up on both occasions, very worrying.

It is a NO from me, as too many outlets have already got my card details.

Bearing in mind that it appears to be easy to steal data from large corporate concerns, I have no wish to be put at further risk

I just wish to regain control and delete my info from all those who hold it. Where does one start?

quite easy, ask your bank to issue new card and to cease your old one can be achieved in 2-3 working days

Hello Ruffs,

Sorry for the delay in reply. I needed to check this with a colleague. 

We have had over 4,000 members sign up for this offer and due to a sudden surge in signups the DVLA verification system crashed temporarily meaning a small number of members have not been fully registered. These members will be contacted via phone in due course.  This is not a scam and all member details are secure (Braintree Payments is a Level 1 PCI DSS compliant service provider).

I hope this helps to reassure you and please let me know if you have any further questions. 

This topic has been locked, no new replies can be added.
