In reinforcement of the point I made above about Pump Kings past and future processing of "our" data" their terms and conditions state :-
"Moreover, we can disclose your personal data to third parties:
● If we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we can disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
● If Pump-King, its business, or its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its users, suppliers, or customers will be one of the transferred assets; and
● If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements; or if we reasonably consider this necessary; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pump-King, our users, our customers, or others."The conditions are not well drafted but are very wide, allowing data sharing with prospective as well as actual acquirers of the business both before and after a sale.
Presumably however the Club have obtained a specific undertaking about data destruction in 10 days time (as opposed to for example just regurgitating a Company Statement or press release) because they have made a clear and unambiguous statement above :-
"Your Pump-King account will be cancelled and your information will be securely Deleted User from Pump-King on the 17th February 2020".

Thats the address of the Registered Office. It seems to be a professional office/company registration business or whatever. There is nothing illegal about using that of course but it is unlikely to be the place of operation of the business.
As already commented upon the terms and conditions seem to be the same as "Pump King" . The absence of a place of business (as opposed to a registered office" and the inability to phone are factors which merit consideration.

Nice new office block. Facade is the old central electric lighting station. Provided the first electricity to Bristol at the end of the 19th century.

As Pump King will, it seems,no longer exist after 17th Feb i would expect the data held by Pump King will be Deleted User,but the "company?" Fuelpecker that seems to have bought the assets,will have already have the Data , so they are not giving false information when stating "the data held by Pump King will be Deleted User on the 17 Feb"

Yes I do the same, the premium comes out similar to the normal forecourt price for std diesel which is worth doing.
]The new discount will vary if I read it correctly with the forecourt price. In Fort William our Esso station prices are often 3p per litre higher than the Oban Esso's price, although the tourists and locals get a discount when it drops to about Oban Esso prices on 2 days of the week but not I often visit Oban with work.
This means shopping between Fort and Oban rather than a fixed price, but will still loose out I feel.

I’ve just filled up with premium diesel for probably the last time on the Pump King scheme. I saved 13.8 pence per litre against the normal forecourt price. This level of saving is fairly typical for me and allowed me to get premium diesel at only five pence above forecourt standard diesel. I’ve been quite happy with that - but no more with Fuelpecker reduced discount.

Our nearest Esso is £1.31 a litre. The one we normally use is £1.27 a litre and the one in the nearest large town is £1.26. The one nearest to us and the one is the town are in opposite directions to the direction we normally travel. Seems the discount is only good depending on the price charged by an Esso station.

Has anyone had trouble registering their new card.When logging on is says click on “Activate my discount card” I do not get this.All I get is a mob number and password entry form from which I have failed numerous times to enter password.
Even a password change request has now failed.

Our supermarket deisel is 120.9 (Sainsburys), 120.7 (Asda), 121.9 (Morrisons). Our local Esso is 122.9, do with the 4p reduction by having the Fuelpecker card, makes it 118.9.... I'll be going with Woodpecker if the prices stay comparable....

Edit: Apologies! I keep calling it Woodpecker instead of Fuelpecker - that the third time I've done I now..... I'll drink to that - especially if it saves me money!!! 😀😀 David.

Well I somehow managed it,I went back into the pump king site and followed instructions on there.
Up popped a card where I could enter the long number.Also I haven’t a clue what password was entered as it does not contain any numbers or symbols.
At least my new pin code is not on the front of the card now.

Lots of valid concerns on this site and possibly some prejudiced comments (both ways), to-boot.
To me the FP card looks like a "last resort" and I'm in no hurry to sign up.
I did find the Pump-King card was incredibly useful on motorways: sometimes reducing the inflated pump prices by around 30p/l, and eliminating the need to gamble on the run to an unknown off-motorway station of unknown caravan-suitability.
Hence, for me, the big question, is "does anyone know of an alternative card that offers similar, fixed price deal to PK?"

That's what GoogleEarth is for.
You should have a rough idea of when you will need to refuel so you check out fuel stops in that area.0 -
I used the old card found it very useful for car and motorcycle. Applied for the new card and have used it half a dozen times, works very well. Discount applied makes it very competitive, especially when you use petrol prices website. However the card cannot compete with Asda who did a 12p a litre discount nationwide. At least they pass on the price of the oil barrel significantly dropping. Some garages have failed to pass on any savings at all since this oil price dropped. Conversely they would not hesitate to raise the pump price immediately. But prior to this very pleased with the new card.

Has anybody had any issues with the actual process of being charged by FP. Everything was going well until in March I bought some Premier Diesel and FP recorded it as standard diesel and only applied the 4p discount. I managed to get this sorted out in April. They 1. credited the wrong amount and 2. charged the correct amount. All went well again until the end of May. On 27th they suddenly charged me again with an amount adding up to 1 + 2 (above). In other words they charged me for fuel I had not bought. After no response to my complaints I referred it to Mastercard and they basically have agreed with me as they credited me with the invalid amount charged by FP on 27th May. Those very nice people in FP have now lost the plot as they have blocked my card due to a payment being blocked by Mastercard. CAMC what have you done to us? You've introduced us to a company who appears to have no staff, no procedures and don't seem to understand that Mastercard believes that they have made an illegal charge on my account. AND, to agree with earlier comments, they provide no information on how to contact them. I only achieved it the first time (back in March) by replying to the email in which they sent the invoice. This has failed this time around. I am about to contact the club and seek their views. BEWARE everybody

I did have an issue with them but this was resolved. I believe you can email them from your account, you can leave them a message, and they may reply. Would be nice to speak to someone direct

Had a problem with my card not working which was embarrasing as i had no other method of payment on me at the time, contacted FP, they replied asking for time date petrol station etc of fill up and then they came back and said that they had tracked down problem to a temp network failure with Esso, they gave me a credit of £2.50 for my inconvenience, not much be better than a slap in the face, found them very efficient.
