A mate just sent me this link

http://www.pipelinecard.org/

Any thoughts on it?

Graham

 

Looks too good to be true.. but i don't see why anyone has anything to lose by trying it

 

lol, the name of the guy who runs it is Ben Scammell.

Yeah, that does seem a little strange!!

 

Why strange? I'm sure his piccie was in the Banzai (or Jap cars) last month at the Mitsi club day at one of the racetracks.

 

Hello,

My name is Ben Scammell, and I am the person behind Pipeline Card.

I just wanted to thank you all for your support.

Keep them coming!

Cheers,

Ben

 

You have a keen eye! I was indeed, I ran the Misubishi Lancer Register 30-130 day at Bruntingthorpe.

I've signed up as it seems worthwhile. It took 20 seconds and that's time well spent if it's going to cut my fuel bills. Come on folk, let's get this underway!

Graham

 

I have just signed up. It don't cost me nothing but I might save on fuel. Nothing to lose but a lot to gain (owning a scooby )

 

Did you know Pipeline is the name of the Internal network used by ASDA !!

watch you dont get sued

I've signed up

 

The name scammel?? sorry that seems a little odd with something like this!

No offence Ben... Signed up also

 

Well lets all hope the retailer they are signing up with sells Optimax

 

Top marks for ScoobyNet, you're sending the most people over to register at the moment of any of the forums!

Keep up the good work,

Cheers,

Ben

 

Signed up too. Passed it on to a m8 in the Corrado Forum. Looks like more the merrier.

 

registered
nothing to lose

 

signed up too... with this ben guy owning an EVO IX i assume he will be wanting to go for the shell partnership due to 98RON!!! hope so anyway for obvious reasons...

also passed on to my old Astra forum i was/am a member of

 

signed up as well

will pass on the link to other forums

 

I have signed up, seem worth it.

 

It seems like a fantastic idea, but is it available in Malta?

 

Mrs_Moley_WRX and myself have both signed up!!!

 

Any one no which major fuel company it will be as if it aint shell(optimax) then there wont be much point

 

Sounds good idea BUT I have a few questions though;

If all the people are directed to one chain that you negotiate a discount with, where would you stand with Anti Competition laws?
Surely if a substantial amount of consumers are enticed towards one particular brand, the government will crack down on this due to unfair distribution of revenue.

I would be extremely wary of giving one company such a power with consumers. Although there is an immediate benefit at the pumps, what other areas would this impact upon. The environment? Fuel development? Research into alternatives?

 

I've posted a link on stirton.com to try to get this thing underway. It seems like a good plan but I do understand the concerns listed above.

 

This is really no different from Tesco giving you 5p/l off your fuel as far the law is concerned.
There is no issue with anti competition law, because you will not HAVE to but the fuel from the partnered ditsy.

Anti comp laws are based on lack of choice not prefered supplier.

 

Anyone started getting spam after signing up ?

Not had any spam on my current email then 20 minutes after signing up I get one (From Honda Handle AG ????). Anyone else had this, maybe a coincidence.

 

Yes I am getting these also!!

 

the reason i never botherd signing up!!

i did sign up for sum other petrol thing a few years back and i was slaughterd with spam.

very clever

 

not had anything since signing up

 

signed up, used an email addy i can bin if the spam piles up... what's to lose?

Owbow

 

yeah, i signed up using an email im not bothered about. but had nothing since signing anyhow...
