Esso Fuel Card

Like all members who have registered their email address with the Club, I received an email inviting me to sign up to receive an Esso fuelcard. Sounds simple until you go through the sign-up process and discover that payment has to be by means of a debit card linked to your bank account rather than by a credit card which is my normal means of paying for fuel.

The offer sounds far too good to be true and it is. Yes I can receive Clubcard points, but I get that already as my credit card issuer is none other than Tesco Bank. Come on, everyone pays by credit card these days so why not allow this form of payment?  Fuel companies are not exactly hard up as they make millions of pounds from us motorists so surely they can be more flexible on the forms of payment.
