getting rewards for reporting bonus errors

I MS my local grocery store chain by getting lots of $20-$500 visa gift cards there. They have always been real cool to me, no limits, very friendly, you get my drift. I did notice when I scanned my gas reward card, they mistakenly gave me free gas points for purchasing visa gift cards. I did the right thing and alerted management to the error and it appears the error is now fixed, as today's receipt shows that I did not earn the gas points.
I am curious has anyone ever done a favor for management and asked for a reward. I think my help is worth maybe $100 or $200. I would even take a store gift card. I know my assistance will further increase my already good relationship with management, but I am thinking I should ask for something more....
Thoughts?

You want to be paid for 'doing the right thing'?

Let me get this straight. You helped them out by alerting them for their error and then asked for a reward. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of your good deed?

Is this a joke? You are supposed to get gas points. It is in the circular.

On the topic, I don't think you get a reward for pointing out a (potential) error, unless you're counting karma points. So may all your Kate trips yield green lights, from home straight through to the machine. Unless I'm losing those gas points now, in which case you suck

Ok, the general consensus is I will not ask since I should not expect a reward for pointing out a mistake.

PS: It is not in the circular, DoMat. There is no mention of gas rewards for visa cards in the circular. They just advertise things such as strawberries, grapes, pork chops, other food items.... What circular are you even talking about, what makes you think that we shop at the same place, I did not mention the name of my store in my post, so how could you possibly know?
