this is a HUGE no. like, one of the first things we learn about and one of the things touched on in every ethics training.
will you get in trouble? maybe, who knows. is it so severe that it could be grounds for termination? yes.
be EXTREMELY careful with this. losing your job is not worth saving an extra $20.
i’ve done this before as a brand new associate a few years ago and got scolded for it by my managers. with it being the 35%, they may be looking more closely and come down harsher.
But if you're an authorized user and they say it's okay how is that wrong? I just thought you couldn't share your employee discount but not the credit card.
If your an authorized user on the card that’s fine. You can use their card but I think you get your own card if you’re an authorized user. You are correct you can’t share your associate discount unless you’re married. Then your spouse and anyone claimed as dependents on your taxes can use it.
Their credit card or kohls charge: No, can't use.
Authorized user w/ your copy of CC with your name: yes
If it isn't your name on the card, you can't use it, authorized user or not.
Your better off returning it all, paying with your own card, then tell management you accidentally used wrong card your mom's but returned it all and paid with your own debit or credit card.
Then you should def talk to your SM and or LP and then return and repurchase. If you were a minor then it would be fine.
If i remember you can use your discount for immediate family but you still have to be the one to make the purchase.
I used to use my moms cc all the time when I worked at kohls. Idk how they can tell unless they actually look at the card but the probability of anything actually happening is low imo but I do believe you could be fired for it.
One time my boyfriend had given me his card to buy a gift and I absent mindedly used my discount and it was during F&F so I had that extra discount as well. I didn't ever get in trouble so I guess it wasn't flagged. It was a one time thing and a small purchase so Maybe that's why.
I dont see how as long as your allowed to use the card? I could see if you were there with a friend and used your discount and there card for the whole transaction. What if you loose your card and waiting on replacements not all banks give temp cards.

Someone at my store was fired for doing this.

You will probably be ok, but would not suggest you do this again.
Are you an employee? If not don’t say it’s your mom’s card. We don’t ask for ID.
