Member Offer: My Esso Card

Well,  only  just  found  &  read  this  thread  !!

Wonder  if  the  Club  can  get  this  thread  printed  off  &  published,  'cos  it'll  make  brilliant  bedtime  reading  as  I've  just  discovered  !!

It’s great to see some new posters taking part in the forum, Brian. Long may they continue posting. 

We are being treated like mushrooms. Not good enough!

Any company that doesn't even put up a maintenance / redirection page is creating the impression of a fly-by-night bunch of amateurs.

Now, I may be doing them a dis-service and if so then I shall enjoy a large dollop of custard on my humble-pie in due course.

Their system allows you to change payment card details, but not much else. Cannot even change mobile number, address etc. Basic personal data changes that should be possible for any scheme like this.

jujake, your till receipt will show what the true price would be before the discount, you will find that what is taken from your bank reflects the ltrs x the price indicated each Friday by essocard for the relevant fuel. Yes this promotion has been a shambles, however, I seem to be one of the lucky ones who got a card reasonably promptly and have used it 3 times without problems.

I think people should remember that we do not all live close to supermarkets who can discount fuel because of the large volumes they sell and use it as a tool to get you into their stores, nor do we live close to cut price garages, but as for me, I have 2 Esso stations within spitting distance, and due to family comitments use quite a bit of fuel. Each to their own.

 there are a number of members on this forum banging on about how useless the card is or how poor the roll out has been, but a number made it quite clear at the onset that they were not interested in the card so why they keep stoking the flames i really dont know.

Here are the fuel prices since beginning of December

£1.26

£1.26

£1.23

£1.21

£1.23

£1.25

Average saving of 6p a litre for us.  In the meantime Morrisons were doing a deal that if you spent £50 on groceries you would get £0.10 off a litre.  Also the Gulf service station about 8 miles from us their price has been constant at £1.26 for the same period.

It would be very nice if someone at the C C came back to us regarding the changed T& Cs.

Don't have nightmares Brian...

We live in a high fuel price area so any discount is welcome. Even with this weeks price it is still cheaper the Morrison’s our only supermarket. Appreciate promotion has got of to a shaky start but let’s hope it will settle down and work out OK (always the optimist). It is not often we can make use if CMHC offers due to our location 

Oops sorry I missed out one;

Seems the price is increasing and the savings are getting less.  I am beginning to think it may have been one way to mine our data to sell onto a third parties?  We have cancelled and have requested a new debit card tor replace the old one as we are very concerned having had our account double dipped plus many years ago an unauthorised withdrawal.

Surfer,

I am beginning to think it may have been one way to mine our data to sell onto a third parties?

never had the experience of having my card misused, however, if you have ever bought anything online, used paypal, given your card details out on the telephone when purchasing insurance etc., then you are vunerable.

have your ever thought about what happens to those customer friendly tape recordings that are made, which they keep for 12 months, somewhere in the icloud, when you make a purchase over the telephone giving your card details, not all employ technology whereby you tap in your card details using the telephone keypad. There is an article in the press today, headline "Major banks are hit by IT glitches every single week" as we all know from the horror stories, yes somebody will get scammed using this card no doubt, but there are thousands out there already using this card, it is not just a CAMHC card.
