BASHTHEBISHOP Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The following is a latest update from Pipeline who are an active group trying to get us cheaper fuel. For the sake of 2 minutes and nothing to lose, please sign up. (I know alot have already as i originally did from this forum) Some of you may have been wondering what has happened to Pipeline Card and if we are still going. It has been a few months since we have been in touch but I can assure you we are all still here! The Pipeline Card is about getting cheap fuel for all of us and, since we didn't have any definite news to tell you on that front, we haven't been writing to you. However, after such a long silence we thought we really needed to tell you what has been happening. This is a membership organisation after all. Basically we have been working very hard on trying to get the card off the ground. I won't bore you with the long list of broken promises, false hopes, and corporate inactivity - anybody would think that the petrol companies didn't want to discount their product - but the short version is that our original 'partner' let us down, we have spoken to several others and the industry has clearly closed ranks against us. What a surprise! We have learnt a lot along the way and one of the things we have learnt - the hard way - is that 500,000 members aren't enough. We are now about to launch a new publicity campaign and we aim to double that figure within six weeks. We are very confident that one of the petrol retailers will break ranks - but only if we can get a lot more members. Thanks to all of you who have posted on forums and told your friends about Pipeline Card, but if we are all to get cheaper fuel, then we need to keep spreading the message. Please use this link (http://www.PipelineCard.org/recommend.html) on the website to get other drivers who are interested in saving money on petrol to sign up. Send them a copy o this email i they have already heard about Pipeline Card and think that w have gone away. Meanwhile we will continue to campaign for lower fuel duty and to look out for other genuine savings that are relevant to our members. Questions & Answers (http://www.PipelineCard.org/qna.html) as a direct result of your feedback. That's it for now. Don't forget that you can resign as a member at any time by sending a blank email to [email protected]. Best wishes Ben Scammell - Pipeline Card Founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMiFFAD Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Been going on for years and has made less progress than an asmatic snail trying to climb a greesy pole... All their emails are now stright in the junk mail. "Ben" or what ever his name is seems to have over looked one small factor - the sellers of fuel make a very small margin per litre in comparison to the government. So any savings they could offer would be so small youd probably burn the difference just driving to that particular filling station. Furthermore, i dont see the government being too keen to offer a discound sceme - so its a monumental waste of time. Complete load of botox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
