The assistant manager of Blossom Restaurant in Marina Bay Sands (MBS) collected payment reward points using a friend's membership account when customers told her they were not members of the reward system. She did this 47 times, racking up more than $10,000 in rewards,...

She did so by entering Mr Choong's account number into a computer and modifying its contents despite knowing that this was unauthorised, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Nicholas Wuan.

By Feb 13, she had accrued some $10,070 in rewards from transactions totalling $118,500. She redeemed around $1,170 for personal expenses, such as meals at Rise, Imperial Treasure, Cut by Wolfgang Puck and Black Tap at MBS. She admitted that she would use the chance to credit points to the account each time customers said they were not a member of the Sands Rewards Lifestyle.

In his sentencing, District Judge Marvin Bay noted that she made restitution of around $1,173, adding that MBS has indicated that the restaurant can make a case for the refund of the unexpended rewards.
