Member Offer: My Esso Card

I have received a phone call. I was informed that all my current details had been Deleted User and I was asked to apply again. A £5 credit would be made to recompense me for the inconvenience.

The explanation about why there was a problem was similar to the one that Rowena has given above. 

correct

How do we find out what the weekly fuel price is via the card?

well i received a text yesterday saying the price for normal diesel for this coming week would be £1.265 unleaded £1.178 which is 1 pence cheaper than my nearest Asda but nearly 10 pence cheaper than my nearest Shell, it would appear that each week the price will or could vary but a text will be sent advising of the following weeks price

Signed up to this as soon as I saw Rowena's post on 22nd Nov.  Since then nothing! No card, no PIN, no text (and no phone call to say my application failed)! What was the point?

It appears that prices are about to fall, starting tomorrow

About time too, IMHO

Thanks for that. My card came today, but i've had no text messages or emails

If I am on a three week tour - we do three a year - I would give my debit card details to say five garages.These five garages, some may be independent but I am unlikely to know, will hold my debit card details. Is the risk of five garages holding my debit card data greater or lesser than if one highly regarded data processing company [Braintree] held my debit card details? Will Braintree be better at spotting, blocking and compensating me for fraudulently used cards than my bank? Will carrying wads of money to pay for fuel be safer?

On my mileage, I could save c£50 a year with Esso. My debit card has never been cloned in the commercial world so rather than take the unquantified risk with Esso, I'll stick with what I can quantify and shop around for cheap fuel if that is what matters to me. There is no convenient Esso station where I live.

My son has a 'all fuel card' and gets an SMS with fuel prices. He drives 2,000 a week so the 4p a litre he saves on average - £10 per week - is worth it.

Credit to CMC though for making this offer because it will suit many.

Hi been reading all the above post. I have just recieved my card and my first price for the week.  02/12/18  £1.265.  On Thursday on a drive the stns were at £1.339 to £1.359.  Though some have mentioned a price drop over the last day or so.  I always use main fuel stations rarley use supermarke fuel.

IMPORTANT

For any of the folk who junked this idea beacuse of the security risk on an organisation holding the three digit number from the back of the card in addition to the usual numbers on the front, I have a simple solution.

My bank is issuing me with another account and card.  All the numbers are different from my current account, and I can transfer funds into it to cover fuel costs. So no risk should there be a large(ish!) ballance on the main account.
