A private investigator has revealed how a woman used her supermarket rewards program to catch her cheating husband.
Loyalty cards have plenty of benefits, but we never realised they could be used for undercover work.
Over on TikTok, Cassie - who goes by @venusinvestigations - said her client had been trying to work out whether her husband was cheating, after having strong suspicions.

"They lived in Queensland and he was going on these trips to see his family in New South Wales pretty regularly which he never used to do," she explained.
Cass explained she suggested to her client that she look into any joint rewards accounts they had.
After discovering that they did, Cass and her client opened up one of the rewards apps and found a load of transactions from grocery and hardware stores.
But instead of the transactions (which were dated) being made in New South Wales, they were actually made in Queensland, in one specific suburb.
The suburb also happened to be where the husband's ex-girlfriend lives.
"Bro gave it up for a few extra reward points," she said, adding: “$10 off your shop but a very expensive divorce.”
People were quick to comment and share their own experiences in the comments, with one person writing: "Hope she kept the points."
While another said: "Nailed it! Caught mine the same way."
And a third added: "I’m not a PI but my first point of checking was the bank and where he was buying food and petrol and bingo! Ex gf who then turned into his gf."
Another person asked: "Why bother coz she doesn’t need to prove his infidelity when divorce is a no fault based system. And if she thought he was cheating he probably was."
To which Cass responded: "True! For a lot of people, they find it hard to trust their instincts without proof even when all the signs are there. A little evidence gives them the push to take action."
In another video, Cass explained how she caught one client's husband cheating with a single emoji.
Cass asked her client to borrow her husband's phone, telling him she was sending a message to her mum.
But they weren't looking for any suspicious messages - which they assumed would have been deleted.
Instead, they were looking for the husband's most-used emojis. And there it was - the eggplant emoji, which the woman explained she had never been sent by her husband.
Of course, it wasn't direct evidence, but it was a pretty good indication that something was going on, which was later confirmed with surveillance.
