Loyalty card scam!

WhiteHorse

I've only seen this in operation with Nectar cards, but it's probably to be found elsewhere as well.

Obviously, Nectar is mainly to be found in Sainsburys, but other retailers do participate in the scheme.

In several non-Sainsbury petrol stations, I've noticed staff not swiping my card, and substituting their own instead.

Take care to see that your card is not only swiped, but swiped properly.

if i saw or noticed them doing that i'd be straight to their manager, stupid behaviour and very traceable

Surely this is an easy one to crack and one that I am sure Nectar would want to stop (no I don't work for them). Did you report it to a supervisor, or note time so that you could report it later? This is fraud and should be reported, easy to link your payment and the allocation of points.

Make a habit of checking the receipt, it should show the loyalty card number. If it shows a different number from your card, complain there and then and follow it up in writing to the company. They can trace to whom the loyalty card which is noted on the receipt belongs.

That is theft.

Call the police and tell the local newspapers. Go national if you have to

i know that a member of our local siansburys got sacked for doing this and he was asking the customers first ie those who didnt have a nectar card, and they'd said yes he could have their points.

Report it, it's theft. I also know of staff members being sacked for this.
