    The card is only really benficial for diesel as they don't have a price agreement in place regarding petrol.

    I always thought these were for company owners etc. but a one of the lads in work referred me to them. You get 2 texts every week telling you what the price of fuel is going to be for that half of the week. For example 149.9 is the current fuel price with the card at any of the core stations. (A good few core stations around me for example, couple in Mullnigar. two in Ballinalack etc. although none in Longford town only Ballymahon)

    There is no online map which is strange I think so you have to wait until they post out the map along with the card to see where the stations are.

    There is no charge for getting a card, and if their price is more expensive just pay with cash or your normal card. The way I see it there is no way to loose out....

    The money gets taken direct from your bank account every two weeks, so you don't need to worry about having to remember to pay.

    You can refer people too and get a whopping 0.1 of a cent for every litre of fuel the buy!! :D

    I got rid of mine a while back. Price just kept going up and up, ending up more expensive than most garages.

    it used to be higher and practically negligible to normal forecourt..

    But it is very well worth it at the moment since the last few months.. easily 7 cents off the cheapest station where i'm (granted there isn't one around locally here in longford)..

    when compare to dublin, it is easily 9 to 10 cents per litre or more in difference

    forgot to say yeah ballinalack does have two core site..


    For anyone who is interested, you should note to use core site only for good savings.. otherwise you could be caught out.. none core site is 3 cents more on top of the quoted price..

    i.e. this week is 1.219 which when including vat is 1.499 for core site.. if not a core site then it is 1.249 plus vat which is 1.536.

    That's still very good, my topaz card is 156.21 this week for diesel. Might be time to change me thinks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,833 ✭✭✭mp3ireland2


    Yeah if it is higher just pay with cash, you don't have to use it... I'll just use it whenever it's lower... no running costs for the card so there's no way to loose out if you read ur text and compare to the price at pumps...

    Is there a service fee for using this service? i.e. say you don't end up using any diesel in a 2 week period?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 138 ✭✭foleypio


    Don't be fooled guys, this fuelcard is just like the rest, the first few posters sound like they have ties with the company too.

    They are drawing you in with a cheap price but will up put up your price very soon, stick with topaz if u have it.

    The cheap price is just a gimmick, a way of getting business in. You will be paying a very high price in no time, the second poster was right

    you shouldnt be coming on here misleading posters with your bargain alert, You obviously have ties to the company. I was working for a guy and he got shafted by them because he wasnt checking his prices every week, they played on the basis that he wouldnt be checking his prices every week and they qouted him in ex vat terms to confuse him more.He was paying way above pump price by the time they finished with him. All fuel suppliers are the same, they will try to shaft you if u dont check your invoices carefully

    IF there are any charges I havn't been informed of them, and my friend in work said if he doesn't use the card they just ring him wondering why... I don't have any ties with the company, but haven't seen any service fees or been informed of any.

    Maybe you should ring them and find out instead of just blindly signing up with them before finding out. Their number is easily found

    Well the guy who recommended them had been with them a few months and he's fairly shrewd so I figured he'd spot anything when he checked his invoices. I contacted them there via the website so I'll see what they say... but it does say "no minimum spend" "no joining fee" and "no contract" they still could have hidden charges I suppose....

    All he said was they ring ya if ur not using it but he'd just tell them he didn't use it cuz it was cheaper to pay at the pump at that time....

    whiterebel: did you incur any charges when you had it?

    Gimmick selling points, why should there be charges for any of these in the first place. Dont just apply for a card through the website whatever u do. Would you just sign up for insurance,etc. or anything for that matter without speaking to some one first who works for the company. Coming on here encouraging people to apply for fuelcards based on heresay is irresponsible in my opinion. The very least people should do is speak to someone, find out what the story is,terms and conditions, and then decide whether to get one or not. Afterall you have to give out your bank details and everything. If something sounds too good to be true it usually is. I'm not saying the company are bad but people should be made aware of the costs involved. The no. is 1890 242324

    Not as far as I remember, but it did seem like great prices for a couple of weeks, then a gradual increase, twice a week. After that, they were more expensive than any garage I saw. That's when I wrote to them and got it shut down.

    That's still very good, my topaz card is 156.21 this week for diesel. Might be time to change me thinks.

    It was initially expensive when i signed up from last year.. but since the recent few months it has been cheaper than any forecourt I pass
    Is there a service fee for using this service? i.e. say you don't end up using any diesel in a 2 week period?

    No service fee was ever debited from my account.. if i don't use, i don't get charged.. when I sign up they did ask whether it was for business or private/personal.. i just let them know it was for private/personal use.. whether they charge for business use or not or any relevance, that I cannot confirm.. best to read the term and condition before you sign up if ye guys are skeptical.

    All I can say from my own experience is that I note the amount of litre i pump from the receipt i get at the forecourt, i write down on the reciept the price from the quoted text i receive for that particular date period.. the ebill comes in the week after.. which work out exactly as it suppose to be..

    The only thing is you have to be vigilant to use the core site (do your homework for local station), otherwise it will be three cent dearer than quoted (before tax) if you use it on a normal site that accept DCI card and if anyone bother to read the post from earlier, you can see I mentioned that already about core site.

    there may be a lot of fuel card around in ireland but i certainly doesn't have any ties with DCI.. the only tie i have with mp3 is that i work with him in a manufacturing engineering company..

    Foleypio, you can think what you like and express your opinion.. i can only comment based on my personal experience.. if you don't want to use it no one is forcing you.. also you have a freedom to read the terms and condition before you sign if you're that worried.

    your guy/friend/colleague got shafted because he didn't check the price.. that is his own stupidity if i can be blunt about it..

    with DCI they send price update via text on wednesday and friday to tell you the price will change from midnight of the day.. so no reason to say you can't check the latest price..

    Yes they do quote it without vat which is strange at first but just multiply it by 1.23 to account for 23% vat.. how frickin hard is that to do for a grown person??

    while i signed up sometime last year, to date i have used it about 7 times and no ebills have any mistake so far..

    Again, it was expensive when i first signed up compare to forecourt which was about 2 cents more on average.. but in the past few months it was very competitive and well below normal forecourt by 3-4 cents per litre on average..

    by the way I need to point out that saving is for diesel only..

    they allow petrol to be bought using the card but there's no saving for petrol..

    Yes was talking to them there and as I suspected there were no hidden charges involved. After three months they'll send out a form wondering if I want card insurance at 90cent a month per card (this is targeted more at large business customers where an employee might get fired run off with a card) so all I need to do is decline this.

    So as I said originally there is no downside to having the card, if rate is better at the pump just use the pump. It just gives you more options to get a better price purchasing fuel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,833 ✭✭✭mp3ireland2


    So what are the charges?

    Can now confirm that there are no extra charges at all (I was worried I overlooked something after what Foleypio was saying about charges, but questioned my rep this morning) you just pay for your fuel. Foleypio must have had a bad experience with a fuel card in the past in this regard but hopefully he hasn't scared people off!

    From my point of view at the minute it's cheaper than the forecourt so I will use it. When ever the forecourt is cheaper I will use that. Since they are no charges for having the card I see no reason to get rid of it.

    Was in Esso and saw that they have a fuel card that can be used UK and Europe wide. I know there's a lot of other cards too.

    I'm looking for:
    • The most widely accepted card, UK/Europe usage and not restricted to one particular chain.
    • Most competitive with the best billing system (online account review system etc would be nice).
    • Multiple cards for the same account with pin (changeable by the user)
    • Clear, obvious pricing

    Yeah clear obvious pricing would be nice! I have a feeling the pricing might depend on the customer, and that's why they don't just display it on the website, for DCI they text/email it to you. The DCI card only works in Ireland as far as I know (including Northern Ireland) so it won't be any use to you.

    Would be handy if there was a way to compare the pricing for different cards! Could get them all I suppose if there's no running costs and then use whatever one is cheapest, but that would be a lot of hassle! Hardly worth it unless you are buying a tonne of fuel!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    I have a DCI card for the past 5yrs at least. I run 2 vehicles on the card. There have been several instances of the DCI price being higher than local garages. When that happens I buy at the local cheapest garage. When the card is not used, you will get a phone call asking why. I tell them that when they are cheaper than garage A & B in town X & Y, i will use the card again. I then tell them that these garages are 2 or 3 cent cheaper and can they match that. I get emails twice a week telling me what the price will be from midnight that night.

    @ Foleypio, your posts are rubbish, to be honest. There is no gimmick. The price does not usually jump up ahead of local garages. Over the past 6 months, they have been particularly competitive. In most retail outlets, there is now a 10c difference in the price of diesel & petrol.To then get a discount off the price is a win for the punter.

    @ Cormie. Ther are about a dozen different card operating here. Many more than that in use in UK. All these cards are set up & processed by Card Services International (may have changed name) in Crewe. There is damn-all difference in these cards. I've had a look at most of them and really it is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

    Re; The Morgan fuel card. Less & less outlets allow use of that card now. For possible reasons, see media reports from Jan/Feb.

    you've made a lot of baseless accusations about this company which don't appear to be true based on what other posters have said, so do you care to back up your accusations with some kind of evidence?

    you have a grand total of 21 posts to your name and almost half of them are in this thread throwing dirt at DCI and 2 other well known posters on the forum, so why would anyone choose to believe what you are saying when it clearly isn't true? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,842 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Thanks Kris, do any of the cards offer what I'm after in terms of international (EU wide) use, online tracking etc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    www.dcicard.ie. There's a video on the site that shows how it works .You can manage your account online. You can assign a card to a driver and track the activities of the card. Re use in Europe, DCI card only works in island of Ireland. I'd be filling up in Ireland anyway - we're still one of the cheapest countries to buy diesel:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 782 ✭✭✭gibo_ie


    With all the childish griping going on here i have to comment.

    i have DCI for almost a year now, as a personal customer. No charges, no catches, you get texted or emailed twice a week the price EX VAT, not rocket science to add 23% to it to be fair....

    Always been a min of 5c per litre less for me. They do have different pricings depending on how much you buy monthly.
    They take the funds from your bank account weekly and give you 30 days credit also.
    I do a lot of driving and have found them the cheapest by far so far.
    make sure you use CORE stations rather than NETWORK stations as they are 3c dearer than the text price.
    However, you will find that the vast majority (i guess 80%+) of all forecourts in Ireland are DCI and have a DCI sign at the gate, just take a drive around and see.
    Also they have many 24/7 unattended pumps which helps for late night fill ups.

    Just my 2c and im in no way associated with any of the card companies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,178 ✭✭✭killbillvol2


    Is there a list of Core stations available anywhere? Their website isn't exactly a mine of information!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 782 ✭✭✭gibo_ie


    I am sure this is not confidential so im attaching the excel sheet with list i have from July 2011
    Could be a few more by now, i have been thinking of doing some sort of App for them so i have them on a map....

    Yeah it's a bit of a backwards system... you apply and they call back.... the only way to see a map of the core stations is by a printed map that they post you!! They don't do themselves any favours with their PR! By the way, the self service stations may all be very slow! Spent the guts of 15mins filling up last night in ferricks rathowen! Any more I'm going to a normal filling station!

    Click on the eroute button on the main page! Found it after on Friday andy, couldn't remember where it was!

    Yeah it would be great if it did distinguish between core and non core, would make it a lot more useful!

    When you are signing up for a DCI card, you have the option to make the card work across the Republic of Ireland, North of Ireland and all across the UK so it is a huge network of stations.

    this is exactly why anyone who is thinking about getting the card needs to call the office instead of just applying, you can use the card in the UK apparently but will be paying a hefty exchange rate cost & wont be aware of what your price will be. Call the office for more information 1890242324, the amount of heresay and poor information on this thread is a worry.

    Poor information? You seem to be guilty of supplying the majority of it! You stated about all the charges involved with the card based on no info at all were you not? And never took back any of the accusations you were throwing around about people mis-leading others, having a vested interested in the company etc. There are no additional charges involved with the card, I filled up at the weekend for 149.9 and just checked my invoice which I received by email today there and the charges matched up exactly with what I was told. So what were all these fictitious charges you were on about?

    I was 99.9% confident that there were no additional charges but for fear of leading anyone astray I double checked my info via phone the next morning, before replying to your comment about all the hidden charges. If the exchange rate is a rip off that is possibly the only hidden charge, but again I'd be wondering what you are basing this on, considering your misleading info in the past....What on earth have you got against DCI!?

    Just got my first bill using a DCI type card , this one called "Fuel price Guarantee" from Fuel Plus LTD. (same Galway address)

    Got 60.78 L of Diesel at a prime site , price on the pump was 96.59 and bill comes to 90.01 so a decent saving there.

    That's a very good price! €148.1 cent per litre! I thought €149.9 was good.... with DCI What rates are other people getting with DCI?

    Just remember when you apply I imagine you will also be credit checked probally to see if you have any judgements etc like any other company who is giving you credit.

    Be very carefull with that Map it does not differencate between core and standard satations!! You will be paying and extra 3.69 cents at non core stations!! Only the map they post out and the spreadsheet earlier in the thread differentiates as far as I know! They really should update that onlne map to differentiate!

    I agree, an update for sat nav systems would be handy too

    Edit: Found a custom file for the garmin which shows all sites but one with core sites would be handier still.
