AN education manager has been convicted of duping her two Hampshire colleges out of 1.7m supermarket reward points.

Alison Robinson was found guilty by jurors at Winchester Crown Court of two charges under the Fraud Act after scamming more than £8,000 of Nectar points.

The 46-year-old netted them by linking bulk catering contracts at two Hampshire colleges where she worked to her own personal card.

Robinson said the points were a “personal thank you” from suppliers for giving them contracts, but the jury did not agree.
Compared to me getting the points for £50 worth of diesel once a month

Its a no no, that's because royal mail get their fuel discounted, they don't pay pump prices. Nectar points tesco club points are seen as extra discount that they are not entitled to because of the bulk discount.

If you are not entitled to Nectar or Tesco points it's easily solved.
When presenting your fuel card for payment the system could easily be set up to reject any credit of points to your own personal Nectar/Clubcard.
As they haven't done it, perhaps the garages are not bothered one way or the other. :hmmmm
