  I have also experienced the Esso/Tesco issue. Purchase has appeared as Tesco Stores on my statement. Anyone know if this is included/excluded? Thanks

  To follow up, spoke to Amex, Tesco stations are excluded.

    That’s very misleading. A Tesco petrol station is obviously not included, but if you have filled up at an Esso station, then it should not matter whether the attached shop is a Tesco or not. I would complain.

      I have had confirmation from Amex, even though they used slightly vague words – ” should credit”. That is good enough for me to buy at an Esso forecourt with a Tesco express shop as Amex can’t easily deny me the credit if it doesn’t automatically credit and I have to follow up for a manual credit.

    Tesco branded stations, NOT Esso garagaes with a Tesco Express attached

      Amex are all over the place with this one.

      1st person I spoke to – Esso gargages with Tesco shop excluded but Malthurst included.
      2nd – Both are excluded
      3rd – Both are included

      Although he was careful with this wording the third person pretty much guaranteed a manual credit if any issues.

  I would also complain as the T&Cs clearly state the exclusions, and no-where does it say it excludes Esso stations where you pay at a Tesco Express till.

  In fact, come to think of it, I can’t think of any Esso stations near me that don’t have a Tesco Express attached.

  There is a “Malthurst” run one fairly near me but I’m thinking, will that show up with Malthurst on the statement? No idea to honest. It is quite misleading it seems.

  I got my £10 credit when I bought over £50 worth of “stuff” at the Esso/Tesco in Shefford, Beds.

  For those with questions about the TFL offer. I got the offer on both my cards and:

  Card 1: Took various trips on the tube and bus in one day and hit the zone 1 to 4 daily cap (over £10) and got credit.
  Card 2: took 2 bus trips one day and another two the next day, £2.90 per day. I also got the credit for that too. Note that I did not take the buses that were explicitly excluded.

  Hope this helps.

    Thanks for that. The buses which are excluded, 402 and 477, are Arriva (?) buses in semi-rural Kent and don’t accept Oyster anyway.

    Thank you, this is very helpful!

    Thanks Reney.

  I sent Amex an email about Malthurst not crediting and they manually applied the credit. I don’t think it will credit automatically.

  Premier inn deal….anyone know if you book an advance rate with premier inn and therefore pay for it straight away how they know when the booking was actually taken? as the deal expires on the 16th Dec?

    Risk is that they do not charge you immediately – not sure how efficient PI is with this. Holiday Inn pre-paid nights are often not charged until a week before the stay depending on the hotel (others do charge immediately).
