Alternative to using any kind of service:
Put phone number or address of trusted friend/relative on your key fob.

... or why not just put your own phone number so you could arrange to meet in a public place to handover your lost keys (ideally use a mobile number to avoid any risk of your address being traced from your home number, and your mobile will also easily prove you are the rightful owner when you go to collect them)

I didn't proceed with this after they asked for personal info (such as mother's maiden name) without https secure.

I think they are totally out of order "phishing" for personal info and then even suggesting (!) this key piece of personal info (used in online banking) without protection built in.

I emailed to complain.

No way should you enter mother's maiden name on here if you also used that on banking sites. Phishers piece information together so this is very poor from Nectar.

If Nectar don't want to invest in a secure site they certainly shouldn't be asking for key logon info.

This is so basic these days, and undermines the general movement towards more secure online transactions. Bah!

just a quick note. i went to my account on nectar and it is a https site have they changed it due to your pressure???

No look - its https when you login. However, try Activate Account, and it is asking the SAME INFO on a non-https page.

They are a shambles!! They are asking for mother's maiden name and date of birth!

To the earlier poster: yes, I thought "just enter something other than mother's maiden name" - but many (most!) users are fairly new to this internet security thing and go along with it. This is why Nectar are out of order.

The firm providing this is Loyalty Management. Below is the email I sent to: enquiries@loyalty.co.uk. They didn't answer mine. Anyone else care to tell them off?

Hi

I logged on to the Nectar site for the free keyring.

I type in my card no. and password, but then it wants a memorable name, like mother's maiden name. It also wants date of birth.

This site is not https secure. You really shouldn't be asking people for this information, and it is often used in financial website logons.

I did not continue at this point.

This information is easily intercepted and combined with a generic password, used for fraud.

I'm really suprised, as in strong terms this is "phishing". You are asking for sensitive (note: sensitive) information, used in many logons, on an insecure site.

Someone hasn't thought this through, and the legal claim ramifications for Loyalty Management.

Please have a think and fix this.

Thanks.

A warning- I ordered one of these-good freebie-BUT today I notice the bar code and the id number have both rubbed off totally(cos its ink printed over laminate)making it impossible to identify me.If your keys get a fair bit of use,i would check it.now going to use the same thing (but engraved metal) i got with my M &S insurance (cheapest for me anyway)

nectars gone down in my estimation since the stopped allowing vouchers for Adams childrenswear as rewards-sulk!

on the funny side, if a kind soul sends your keys to the nectar freepost address, and nectar sends it to you -wouldent that mean breaking into your house or mailbox to open the door to retrieve the keys? :rotfl:

just a funny thought, dont take it too seriously!

yeah lol it is kind of daft to have one, it would be good if you put a secondary address to send the keys to but i suppose they are banking on you sorting out being locked out by the time they send you the key thing.
