Nectar points not going anywhere!

My local adams now allow you to spend Nectar points in store straight off the card. So i did this last Monday. I was the 2nd to buy this way in the store, so they were new to it. The points still have not come off my balance. What would happen if i go back to Adams and spend the points again!

    If the system has enough 'intelligence' built into it, it will reject your card... if not then I guess your balance will go into the red (nagative balance).

    Well - the system is not intelligent! I spent the points again and the balance still remains the same. My points balance should be negative now. This could seriously be abused if i was brave enough. Nectar could, if they work out the system failed, chase me for equivelent of money to the amount spent in Adams. Or all my future point collecting to 'pay back'.

    Who would be brave enough to spend the points for a third time???? I dont think i am!

    Brave.... Don't you mean stupid. If that is a loophole it would be classed as fraud. Which if you did it over and over would make it obvious what you were doing... Whether Nectar would even notice and/or do anything about it is a different matter...

    Sometimes it's better to quit while you're ahead... (IMO)
