    So not worth it...

    Saving yourself 2cents per litre, and no transaction fee, might all sound well and good in the long run... until the unfortunate circumstance of a single failed payment - then you're instantly slapped on a €30 penalty fee charge... even though I paid that same day over the phone after transferring money to my A/C.

    Completely wipes out whatever miniscule savings you've had with them, and end up costing you more...


    Incredibly dodgy too, the T&C doesn't even mention anywhere the penalty fee of it being €30... just a cursory "liable to a charge", was under the impression that'd be €10 at most.

    Sure if we didn't have rules we'd be swinging from the trees.

    If you dont/cant pay them for whatever reason they incur bank charges so you've cost their business money, 30 euro seems excessive, for one missed payment?

    Was offered one with work but thought the discount was paltry.

    Glad I didn't sign up now

    Used to be a lot better value when it was a fixed price each week regardless of station and they invoiced monthly. Suited me a lot better to get one fuel bill per month and not having to worry about having (enough) cash on me to fill up.

    Since they moved to a few cents off instead and bill weekly it's only useful if you're stuck.. shame really. I now usually get my diesel at other stations instead.
