Nectar points......not as boring as you may think

Just a question really.

Would adding your personal nectar details (without permission)to a company account be classed as theft?

I for one think it is, may not seem like much but company accounts can mass quite a few thousand points easily

Hmm, not sure about theft as such if the company isn’t intent on claiming them themselves (or maybe it is!?) but certainly dubious!

I know people who collect airmiles when they travel with work so it’s probably a bit like that?

Sorry, that didn’t answer your question at all didn’t it!?

I think it would be seen as being a bit naughty! Not really worth the risk.

We have unregistered store cards with thousands on. The powers that be are waiting to see who registers it before they pounce. The staff member has been swiping it when people forget to bring theirs in.

No I don't have a nectar card lol

It was someone else in the company who's desperately trying to cover her tracks by making a massive fuss of now arranging a company nectar account

It is fraud if you do it without permission from your company.

Also why should an individual benefit unless the points are spread across your company?

If the firm is entrusting you to make payments on their behalf, you should act with integrity.

Others might see it as being no more serious than stealing stationery, but it all comes out of company profits which could mean the difference between success and failure.

Yes, it is theft and fraud.

This man was convicted last year of doing it.

It all depends on company policy, many do forbid it.

You can also get a business nectar account.

If in doubt get written permission to collect the points on your own account.

Yes; unless explicitly endorsed by the company concerned. The same goes for airmiles etc. I've known people to lose employment over this.

Yes, it is fraudulent. In the same way it would be a safeguarding issue and financial abuse if a paid professional care worker supporting a service user to purchase their weekly shop added the nectar points to their, the paid professional care worker’s personal card,

from the service user’s shop.

But if the company is paying for the petrol then it is not your points to claim on the card...

It’s a common mistake.

You'll probably find that it's a benefit that is taxable, so if it's not done and accounted for properly then you could have the tax man knocking.

Its not in my companies rules about using the van, They haven't registered any nectar cards themselves and haven't ask us to collect them either so I do it myself

It doesn’t have to be explicitly there. I’d be careful.

I might take a coffee break to read through 'the rules' line by line.

It might be a great break when it's all going well, but losing your job and possibly your pension (Public sector employees), isn't quite so good.

The person I have knowledge of was purchasing wine for a military mess at Tesco; he thought it would be OK to link the purchases to his Tesco ClubCard.

It wasn't.

Interviewed for a company that would have meant spending one week a month in the far east. The said the Air Miles were a bonus :o .....

I'm self-employed and had a tax inspection by HMRC a few years ago and had to give them access to my personal Nectar account as they said any cash bonuses claimed through work purchases was taxable.

I had several hundred pounds worth of points which I had to pay tax on. I bloody hate HMRC!
