Anyone heard of this ? any thoughts ?
I signed up about 9 months ago not much happened with it yet, they needed alot of people then would be able to get a deal. As of yet nothing.
It's a great idea, though i'm not sure its ever going to get off the ground. I signed up ages ago and nothing yet.
I still don't see why any major supplier would want to give a discount just coz you've got a card in your pocket, other than simple loyalty
and most of them run their own loyalty schemes.
itll never happen Id just like to let people know there is absolutely no profit in petrol only that off big companies who can make 5p profit on £10 petrol but guarantee 50,000 people to each outlet every day if you get what I mean

No profit for the retailers that is Ned. My mate used to have a station, said he was lucky to make 1 or 2p per litre. most profit came from other
retail sales.
To work pipeline would have to agree a discount from the big oil companies, the retailer would then have to have a way of recording pipeline sales and
claiming the discount back. Sounds awfully complicated to me. Ive signed up anyway - you never know the organisers may have a cunning plan.
It costs nowt to join so nothing to lose.
Nothing has happened yet because they are still recruiting members. They now forecast April-May for commencement of discounts.
They need 150,000 members to start the scheme, and they hit 100,000 in mid January this year.
I have just signed up, sounds like a very good plan, should work too, and not just for cardholders, pitting BP against the others will drive down
prices if enough sign up for the card.
As it's free and might just work I signed up. Anything that may reduce motoring cost is a good thing.

thats why bp made £19billion recently...
that in retail petrol thats why there so full of other shite to get you to buy
There is a story in this months EVO that Pipeline have reached 150,000 members. This was the first time that I'd heard about the scheme and could't sign up quick enough, hope the discount is nearer the 10p than 5p though!
