Store Rewards card but company fuel card

Thomas_w

Hello all.
I hope someone can help. If you use a company fuel card to fill a company vehicle, can you use your own store rewards/points card to collect the points..is it legal todo so?

Yes you can and yes it is.
Unless your employer has rules to the contrary.

Whether you can or not will be up to the retailer. I can't see any reason why not, nor why it would be illegal.

However ...  back in the days when I clocked up mega-miles with a company fuel card, I collected loads of goodies on various reward schemes. Other people earned thousands of air miles on business trips, and used them for family holidays. There were noises from government about treating such things as a taxable benefit, but I don't know whether that actually happened. Others will know.

Depends on the fuel scheme.  We had a scheme where the company bought thousands of litres at a fixed price.

Switched from keyfuels to BP one driver thought he was clever by collecting Argos points but the company were getting billed
for them.  When filling up at BP we were just drawing off the fuel the company had already purchased which did not include
the Argos points scheme.  Memo went out to that anyone collecting points would be charged for them. 

But prior to that the MOTO services also had a scheme where you buy 100 litres of fuel and got a £1 voucher.  I would happily
take out the vehicle with twin tanks which took over 400 litres.

It’s more than 10 years ago, but I did long distance taxi work on return you had to full the cars at Tesco’s using a fuel card and the company provided Clubcard. But I think they were just private club cards as a perk for the owners.
