    For nearly two years I got up to $1.25/gallon off fuel from my husband's a hole of an ex-wife.

    Background: my husband's ex- wife lives about an hour away from us with their kids and I would drive them to school on the weeks when they stayed with us. The town they live in has a grocery store with a point system

    where they can be redeemed for fuel except it doesn't actually sell fuel. Our town has the same grocery store and, being larger, has the fuel pumps in the parking lot.

    Ex is an awful person who worked really hard to alienate the kids from us (I say worked because they are older now and able to see what she is doing). She

    regularly bought all of her groceries at this particular store specifically for the fuel rewards and would save them up to fill her vehicle in our town when she would make the trip. The rewards

    card she used had been set up under my husband's old phone number so I would fuel up, enter the phone number, and drive to my favorite, less expensive, grocery store.

    It took about two years for her to realize she rarely got any sort of discount and for her to stop shopping there. I was a little bummed but I was no longer making the drive to school so...

    PMax480 . I'm still using the points of someone who registered their card but it seems mistyped the last digit of their phone number to match my phone number. 9 years, still going strong. Thanks Emily.

    Beginning_Zombi... My ex's credit card is still attached to our old shared PC Points account and it has been racking up points for me for the last 2.5 years.

    He's completely forgotten, I changed the account password, and I set the account settings so only I can redeem the points. Every week I get discounts on groceries, $10-30 worth.

    ileneevans I still use my ex mother in law's points to get my fuel. I've never told anyone and occasionally my ex husband. makes comments about his mom must not shop as much because she never has rewards. I just smile and nod

    MasterBeanCount... Many more years ago than I care to admit, I moved states. Before the move I secured a new phone and number for my new state.

    After I had given it out to potential employers, real estate people and many other people, the collection calls started. Along with about 500 calls from people who found the number in a church directory.

    The collectors gave up quick. The church people, well sometimes they still call, they think I'm Ellen. I am not Ellen.
  • 17
    But I had hooked my new phone number to a rewards card for a grocery store that gave fuel rewards. I never shopped at this store much, as prices were high. But you know who did? Ellen. Guess who never got her own fuel rewards? Ellen.
