Stolen Nectar Points

Strange how it's only ever first time posters who resurrect old threads and funnily enough the OPs of these threads always seem to be first timers too....well, first time under that alias that is !

Didn't Tesco have a problem a couple of years ago of a similar nature - points being converted to vouchers and spent, but not by the cardholder?

(I have a Nectar account and have never seen any promo emails let alone snail mail. I must check they have the right address for me!)

I'm inclined to believe it's possible. I expect it's relatively simple to generate a valid Nectar card number and print a bar code with that number and test it at a self-service checkout in Sainsbury's. There's no cardholder verification at all at the point of sale when spending Nectar points.

Maybe so but they would have to do an awful lot of number generating, bar code printing and testing in Sainsburys to hit on somebody who had sufficient nectar points to make it worth their while!
