well after following the recommendation that I could save 5-8 pence per litre on fuel by getting an esso card imagine my surprise when I got my first invoice and found that the prices quoted do not include vat. I ended up paying 12 pence more than the esso pump price and nearly 18 pence more than I could have got the fuel at the local supermarket. Seems to me that it’s a big con. Needless to say I shan’t be using it again. Shame on you for recommending it.

Hmm.. I got an email giving the details of my purchase in addition to the transaction appearing on my essocard account.. I am unable to say if this is normal however, as I have only ever used it the once in early December and neither of our vehicles has required any fuel in the mean time. I'll find out mid January when I am likely to use it again..

Hi just check my e-mailed receipt against the price I was texted and found the texted price included VAT.

Why have you removed comments and then changed the thread heading when the previous heading clearly stated Esso Card with no mention of VAT? I always thought a moderator is supposed to be neutral? No wonder so many people stop posting on this forum!

Surely it would have been more appropriate for the comments to have been removed to another thread and with a link to that thread Hopefully Rowena takes note of this an reprimands those responsible.

Moderator Comment - If you have an issue with moderation on this forum the correct procedure is to raise those concerns directly with the Community Manager. It is clearly stated in the T&C's of this forum that questioning of moderator decisions is not allowed on the open forum.
