    You make no attempt to answer to the actual points raised.
    Probably learned from you as this seems to be one of your main, oft repeated tactics when making statements rather than entering a discussion.

    I am an independent distributor with Utility Warehouse and any views expressed here are my own and may not be shared by the company.

    I just hate the "big brotherness" of Nectar and their ilk.
    And yes- I'm paranoid enough to use cash for nearly all my purchases. :)
    You probably have a bank account. It's usage can be tracked. You probably have a mobile phone. Your location can be tracked and your conversations monitored. You probably have a job. All your personal information will be available.

    Nectar and the others just help businesses know what to stock in shops so that they don't waste valuable shelf space and can keep their overheads to a minimum. They can also target their advertising better too. They are just trying to be more efficient in order to keep profits up. A bit like Utility Warehouse having independent distributors who they do not need to pay unless customers are gathered.

    Why is it 'risky' btw? I would also suggest you're treading on dodgy ground as far as forum rules go with your continued insistence that UW ID's are poorly trained and deliberately mislead people. If you're doing it to get a reaction, congratulations, you've got me fuming mad. I consider myself to be an ethical and honest successful business person, and my whole business depends on this trust and honesty otherwise it simply does not work.

    The card gained its "risky" title thanks to the uw who point out its risky to anyone signing up for it as a headline in its ts + cs. From your post it would seem you have never been trained about this.

    By activating your Card you accept these Terms and Conditions and confirm you understand and accept the risks highlighted in clauses 2(b) and 18(d) of this Agreement.

    You say that you are unhappy about being classed with the other uw reps who are very happy to come here and mislead, and very happy to put misleading adverts on the net etc.

    Check out the antics of your colleagues who have attempted to use the vast numbers of moneysavers who visit the board to try and mislead and spam us.

    As well as all the misleading reps posts here, you only have to watch the way we have learned you you are encouraged to sell your products (by deception - eg. using friends to help out over a problem at work,(when really your agenda is to sign them up), and by careful use of the worthless guarantee as a sales aid etc, etc) to see how the reputation developed.

    If you are "fuming mad" at being lumped in with the bad apples in your organisation, then get it sorted out at source. (We now learn that presumably because the only qualification to become a rep has been stumping up the £200 to join has lead to "serious misselling", and you have had a criminal in your midst the company will now insist on some formal training before allowing you to sign up customers. (Though doing the training doesn't mean they will have any qualifications!).

    And see how many time we have been told that it is only rogue reps who do things badly (but they are outside of the company's control)!

    How can you miss something that has never appeared? Thought he/she would by quite enthusiastic but no details yet. Strange, on a money saving site............

    'appen! I'd love to know the cashback card that he/she's always alluding to. Come on Quentin, 'fess up so that all of MSE'es can take advantage.

    It is weird how he won't provide details. If it's a good deal then why the reticence? He certainly suffers no such reticence when posting about Quidco good deals. Again...and again...and again....
