Employees of the Finnish Defense Forces have been reported for the misuse of bonus cards to accumulate points from flights and hotel stays, according to Keskisuomalainen. This misconduct has led to discussions with supervisors and written warnings for some individuals, while a few cases have escalated to criminal investigations. However, the Defense Forces have not disclosed further details about these investigations.

Most instances of misuse have been classified as minor, requiring no formal penalties beyond requests for improved compliance in the future. It was noted that many employees inadvertently accumulated points without malicious intent as the rules regarding the use of personal bonus cards for work trips are clear. Nonetheless, some investigations are still ongoing to clarify the circumstances of these accumulations.

The report emphasizes the need for stricter adherence to rules concerning the usage of bonus cards among Defense personnel, particularly as it affects the integrity of the institution. Employees are cautioned against using personal reward cards during official travel, and further inquiries aim to ensure such policies are understood and upheld within the organization.
