"A police officer who discovered a loophole in Tesco’s Clubcard loyalty scheme has been convicted of cheating his way to 18,000 Air Miles."

"Tesco admitted yesterday that the loophole was still open. It would cost too much to close it but procedures were in place to alert the company if any of the 13 million families that use its loyalty scheme attempted to abuse it."

It appalls me that Tesco would pursue someone for taking advantage of their lax loopholes. :eek:

Your link isn't working for me, could you give me the gist of what has happened? (For interest only you understand, I would never try to abuse my clubcard!!)
