Using other people's RewardZone card...

Hey all,

While I am on the topic -- yesterday I saw someone buying something and a friend or family member gave them their RZ card to use. Now, i would assume that is it was a cash transaction, it wouldn't be an issue, but the person used their own credit card. After the transaction, wont someone within bestbuy see that the name on the RZ card didn't match the credit card name and cause problems?

I doubt the cashier would even pay attention to it.

I work there and people do that all the time and it's no big deal with them.

I've had other people use my card all the time. They could care less. It's all about the sale and pushing of the service plans at that point. Or the various magazines of the week.

They might see it. All depends on how their system is set-up. The local store system probably doesn't save the names in any type of readable version in their electronic journal that can be harvested in order to show names and promotions together. Their corporate offices might be able to do that. Likely the electronic journal at the store can be searched by specific terms, but not able to put two pieces of information together to search.

Instead of risking the chance of them noticing, there is an easier way to get points from someone else's receipt, even though you can do it right from their website I won't go there and give anyone any ideas.
