The prices they show on their website are cut by most garages around, again apart from the isolated ones. Better value keeping your eyes peeled while driving around and fill where its cheapest at the time. Might help you a bit if you're driving in Limerick, as the prices there are astronomical.

Seems to be the same company behind them all just trading under different names.
There is an offer of piggypoints free if you sign up for that one Here
Looks like a good deal if you normally get your fuel in a Statoil or Shell station. The only thing i can see to be careful of is that if there is not enough money in the account when they try to debit it they will charge an administration fee of 40 euro plus the amount outstanding before they reactivate the card. Saw that on the Benchmark site but its probably the same for all of them.

Not the case for the link I posted, the petrol is on credit and billed monthly.

You don't even need to register to update prices! Registration gets you extra features though.

Perhaps I just travel in expensive areas

I frequently driving in Limerick/Galway/Roscommon, and almost never see cheapr prices than the fuel card.

From the T&C on the website Here under Accounts

Quote:

"If a direct debit drawn by FCS on the Account Holders accounts is returned unpaid or a cheque sent by the Account Holder to FCS is returned unpaid then the Account Holder shall pay FCS an administration fee each time it occurs."

It doesnt say how much though.

So do you pay 125.96 as your text says or 127.50 like it says on their website?
More to the point, have people been paying more than they thought going back over the year.

Signed up for the text alerts at a cost of 10 euro, never got the texts, paypal were not interested as it not for tangable goods

However I find the card good value because petrol is dear where I live and occasionally while traveling I got petrol at a statoil station cheaper than the rate and I got it for the cheaper ammount. (The Axa Plus Card)

There are problems when you use it in a non-statoil station as they sometimes look for a pin that you don't have.

Thumbs up, I have used it exclusively for my petrol purchases for the past year.
