Member Offer: My Esso Card
Comments

Despite registering twice for this card and being promised a credit of £5 for the inconvenience of having to register twice, still not received the card, having to use OH's car just now as mine is almost out of fuel and fill up plus £5 credit would give me a saving of approx £12, another CAMHC "lack of organisation"

Rufs, just put some fuel in your car and, hopefully, get the discount next time. It doesn't seem worth inconveniencing yourself over.
£1.17/£1.18 (unleaded with diesel about 10p more) in our local supermarkets - why bother with Esso? Also, it doesn’t bode well for the future if they’re so inefficient at this stage.

Esso price with card for normal diesel is £1.26 10 pence cheaper than my local Shell garage and 1p cheaper than Asda, plus if you use card before end of December you could win free fuel for year, all 3 garages are within a 2 mile radius of home so it should be a win win situation. Not really inconvenient OH is good at walking

the incompetence of the Esso admin department
Reading through the whole post it would seem the card and its administration has very little at all to do with Esso, or The Caravan Club.

I went into an Esso station this evening to use my Esso card and after filling it was declined. I phoned Esso accounts and I am still awaiting a return call from them to explain. However it appears that the code sent by Pumpking is different from the code I found on the Esso accounts web site. But I ended up paying the full price for my fuel which was cheaper at the local supermarket. Not amused at the their poor response. If it happens again the card is going to be cut in half and binned as I refuse to be embarrassed twice

For Info - Taken from CC info regarding this offer. ”This offer is made by PK Fuel Limited 11-12 St. James Square, Suite 1, London, SW1Y 4LB.”
I seem to re-call some info/details were posted earlier in the discussion about this company.

I did get an email from Esso customer service to say that due to the unprecedented demand for the card there had been a delay in despatching cards, however, they were doing there best. I wonder how much the club will make out of this promotion which once again has been shambolic

This should be a BIG winner for me doing 40,000 miles pa only using either Shell/Esso Super Diesel and both my local garages are Esso !!
On Supermarket fuels, my car (3 ltr V6 diesel) averaged 34 mpg and clogged up the DPF soot filter. I switched a year ago to Shell / Esso Supers and its never clogged up and has averaged 39 mpg ever since, so the extra cost is more than offset by the extra distance (+90 miles / tank).
Tesco 99 petrol is more economical too (even in a 1.0 litre VW Up) but no supermarket does a super diesel.
Motoring Expert "Honest John" swears by Shell Super fuels and I can now see why - just look at it as Pence Per Mile, not MPG.

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback. It’s great to hear that some of you have already received your cards and are making savings. To those of you that have not yet received your My Esso card, we are sincerely sorry. Due to the large amount of registrations, over 9,000 people have already signed up, there has been some delays. The team at My Esso card are working hard to resolve all issues and the Club is monitoring this discussion closely.

Initially I wan't going to bother with this offer but then thought it might be a useful thing to have so applied for a card.
It came through the post in a day or so and I used it to top the car up at a nearby Esso, by way of a test run, with about £20 worth of diesel.
We have no Asda here, so the cheapest diesel locally is Morrisons or Sainsburys at £1.31. Via the Esso card I paid £1.26 which came out of my current account a day or two afterwards, but gave a saving of 5p per litre on anything else available within 50 miles.... I also consider it better to be supporting a small local garage rather than any major national company.

I'm with you Justus. If one has concerns about giving your card details well so be it. But to me it seems to be a win win deal. Thank you Club for negotiating it with Esso. I have my card and pin and received the weekly price on Friday by text msg which would give me a saving of 9p a ltr over my local Tesco. I am ready to use it when I need to fill up.

Seems to be a lot of confusion being generated about this card.
It is up to the individual about giving card details to third parties, but been using PayPal for years and not had a problem with them.
Regarding fuel costs, you get a text on Friday stating the card price for fuel next week. My last one showed diesel at £1.261 p/l. The Esso garage is £1.319 p/l. So a saving there.
Now this 1p thing. If the Esso garage drops it's price to say, £1.261, then the card price will drop to £1.251, so giving this 1p saving per litre.
Local supermarkets are around £1.297 upwards for diesel.

Looks like a very good deal to me even though I've always paid by credit card as I don't use a debit card for anything, but that's no hardship.
So having recently registered for My Esso Card I couldn't find any confirmation that the card, at the texted weekly fuel prices, can be used on motorways, at Tesco Express garages, or in Europe, so I contacted Esso. Esso confirmed that the weekly fuel prices are applicable to all Esso garages including motorway services and at Tesco Express garages "as they are Esso garages". As for Europe, the card is not valid in Europe "at the present time" Esso said, which is contrary to what others have posted on this discussion.
It's a no-brainer. Can't wait to fill up on the motorway.

Although Esso is our nearest garage when passing Morrison's today, petrol was £1.15 and diesel £1.25. I've never seen our A road Esso garage beat the supermarket prices and even with a discount I doubt whether it will.
For anyone out on the road consuming a lot of fuel all discounts are probably worth it but I would think the majority will stick with the major discounters.

Having the card is one thing ............... I've got a bus pass but only used it under a dozen times in 6 years. Personally I know that I will use an Esso garage 4 times a year and guess a maximum of 150 litres. The caravan leaves home 4 times a year and the X-Trail is taken to the Esso garage to put air in tyres.

My point is quite simple; you suggested that Brue was wrong in thinking that 'the majority will stick with the major discounters' due to the 9,000 who have ordered a card. I merely was pointing out that there is a vast difference between having a card and using it regularly.
I don't think that you needed quite as many question marks by the way Rufs
