Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that some of you will be receiving an email from Pump King’s customer service to advise that Pump King has been purchased by Horizon Fuel Limited and will now operate under Fuelpecker.

Fuelpecker has listened to customer feedback and developed set discounts off the pump price which means guaranteed savings and therefore no more weekly fuel price text messages or variable savings. Fuelpecker has also expanded the network to include Shell petrol stations. In addition, the Fuelpecker set discounts are now available in Europe so you can save whilst travelling.

Your Pump-King account will be cancelled and your information will be securely Deleted User from Pump-King on the 17th February 2020. Therefore your Pump-King card will not work after the 17th February 2020.

To continue benefiting from discounted fuel, you will need to sign up for your new Fuelpecker discount card here: Fuelpecker

We hope you take advantage of the new benefits with Fuelpecker.  For more information and FAQs please visit the Fuelpecker website. smile

As an existing - and satisfied - Pump King card user, I would say that the new Fuelpecker version is a retrograde step, for two reasons:

1. A fixed amount off the forecourt price will almost certainly be less advantageous than the weekly discounted price under Pump King.  This is unfortunate as far as motorway fuel in particular is concerned.  It looks as though I will once again plan to avoid all Esso motorway stations if at all possible.

2. Whereas PK permitted payment via a credit card, in my case Fuelpecker refuses to accept mine, so it's debit card only.

Not sure I'm going to bother any more as I'm not a large user.  Fuelpecker may be "excited" about their news, but all I can see is a downgrading of the savings under Pump King.  And I would be very surprised indeed if their "customer feedback" persuaded them to proceed in this way.  The CAMC is obviously aware of the change - have they any comment to make?  (If I have missed it then apologies in advance.)

I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of this in the latest club magazine (unless I missed it hidden in amongst all adverts). 

Not everyone who is subscribed for the card will come on this forum. I haven't received any communication from pumpking about it and considering the current discount card will cease to work in just over a week it's not very much notice !

If you use the card i think you will get an email (look in your junk box) but the discounts if now in operation is no where near the pump king price this week 1.23 .1 for diesel against 1.31 .9 cheapest esso here,and cheaper than any of the supermarket prices

Current Tesco price here is 1.19p.l. with a 10p.p.l discount voucher. I have still ordered the FP  card, you don 't have to use it if you can get it cheaper elsewhere.
