Am I Cheating the system?

I’ve been asked to make a purchase from a company on behalf of someone. It also happens to be the company that I work at. I order the product, but after that I find out that I can get it even cheaper from another company even with my employee discount. It does seem a bit disloyal, but why pay more for exactly the same product? And I’m also passing on the savings to the person who asked me to obtain it in the first place. I’m getting some loyalty points, but perhaps not as many as I would if I’d made the purchase as instructed. But I’ve got cash in my pocket and the payee has got their goods and a bit of money back as well. I’ve made a little bit of cash, but I still need to clear it off the credit card at some point. As long as I don’t forget and I’ve the funds available to pay it off when it’s due, everyone is happy.
