    How? They certainly will not disclose "other" person's Netar card infromation to me...
    Ask them? Accuse them??

    It would be good if we all had the option to lock the points by using the Nectar website and then unlock the card when we are ready to spend. I have been saving my points since 2001 (Sainsburys Reward Card) and although I still don't have many I would be gutted if I lost them!
  • Just for the sake of £1 worth of points? hmmmmmm..........
    Well yeah, but think about the bigger picture, if they did that day-in and day-out it would soon mount up. I wasn't saying they did it on just one transaction.
    I bought some perfume in a store last Xmas and didn't have a loyalty card for that particular place, the girl asked if I minded if she had the points (which I didn't) and she used her own card. I'm sure she racks up some serious points doing that - I'm also sure it'd be frowned upon by her superiors if they ever found out.
  • i work in sainsburys and its totally against policy for a staff member to have their own nectar card on the shop floor with them, the girl who asked for the points would be in serious trouble.
    we arent even allowed to take vouchers such as active kids from a customer even if they are offered.

    This has just happened to me. I've been saving my points and almost had 2000. Was going to get £10 of amazon vouchers to get toy story 3 for my little boy for Christmas. Logged on yesterday and someone has spend 1500 points in the Cardiff Store. Absolutely gutted. Have emailed them but don't know what they can do :(
  • penti please can someone help ,a care home manager has been using her own personal nectar card to gain points using the service users money each week for shopping ,always roughly £160 +.she has accumulated 93,780 points or £460 worth.these were on the receipt on 20/12/11 and then down to 1300 points after returning from x mas break.however this amount of credit was not logged in the handbook or spent equally on the 4 service users after all it was their money she was using to shop with.why will the company not take us seriously when we reported this as theft .company rules state this is not acceptable now she is making our life hell

    Perk of the job. Unless the people she is shopping for have their own card to give to her, then the points would be wasted.

    You can do this with additional nectar card holders online, maybe make an additonal version in your name? And then lock it to collect only until you need to spend?

    Sour grapes because that person thought of it first?
