Fuel discount card

I expect the mag went to print long before this happened.

Anyone at CAMC want to explain what the price reduction actually is? The CAMC page: https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/membership/member-offers/fuel-card/ differs in prices from the FuelPecker page! I presume the CAMC one is incorrect?

Ditched my pump king long ago - was barely getting any saving even when filling up at Esso, as pump prices were often the same or even less than the pk price!

The way the whole scheme was administered, I’m not overly confident about my all my data being securely Deleted User, but what can you do?

Not a chance will I personally be embarking on another rollercoaster ride with this scheme after the debacle of the pump king roll out, but good luck to all who gain benefit from this one. 

If only I had one of these new membership cards I could drive 15 miles to the nearest Shell fuel station and get a penny per litre reduction. Ah well...the joys of living in the countryside . 

I have signed up to give me an additional option, but I think that I'll be using supermarket filling stations more than I did previously as the present difference between our local Asda and our local Esso station is 8.2p per litre. With the weekly price from Pump King the difference is 2.2p per litre, but with Fuelpecker it would be 4.2p per litre. 2p per litre dearer under Fuelpecker.

That was my thinking and with the addition of Shell and Coninental station it makes it more useable. Supermarket stations are not always the alternative. Some can be very difficult to get into especially on the Continent.

We found it's not so much the getting into but out, due to ridiculous chicanes by the pay point, which wasn't even normally staffed.  Had to reverse out of two in September.😂

I've tried to create an account this morning but hit a problem. The system asks for a password to be created using at least 8 letters. I've tried 8 letters, 10 letters, a combination of letters and numbers and a combination of letters numbers and symbols up to a total of 12 characters. Every time I get the same error message telling me that the password must be at least 8 letters and the application stops at that point.

The website doesn't seem to give any way of contacting Horizon to sort out the problem. Not a good start Horizon (or CaMC).

johnM, I had no problems with an 8 character figure letter combination. Might be a problem with your browser settings?

"We hope you take advantage of the new benefits with Fuelpecker"

I am slightly surprised that CAMC feel able to endorse Fuelpecker or rather Horizon Fuels, a company which has only been in existence for eight months and which has a share capital of £100.  It has (understandably) not yet filed any accounts and has only one Director. they may be backed by (for example) Paypal for all we know but that is not discernible and presumably the Club don't know either. 

On Fuelpeckers website there is a statement. :-

"Fuelpecker is proud to have top global entrepreneurs and business people as investors and board members" (note plural )

Well maybe they do but there is no UK company called "Fuelpecker" and there is only one director of Horizon, Tom Leyland who may or may not be a global entrepreneur but he has no other directorships.   With a  share capital of £100 there is little permanent capital invested in the company. 

Furthermore if Horizon have "purchased" Pump King then that would normally mean that customer lists and data would be transferred to Horizon otherwise there would be little point in paying for the company, might as well just start up in competition. So athough of course  I don't know what has happened here and whilst it may be the case that   PK has "Deleted User" its user data it may also have transferred that data or at least cardholder details to Horizon. Anyway data would normally be retained by PK for a period insofar as necessary for audit or compliance purposes. 

Whilst I appreciate that exact commercial relationships with companies may be at least in part confidential I have a concern that the reputation of the club could be tarnished by recommendations if these were not preceded by careful scrutiny of the supplier.

Or to put that more simply I hope the Club have thoroughly investigated Horizon before (by implication) recommending them.
