Fly Buy's Relaunch ... No Velocity

[Baguss]

With the relaunch of Fly Buy's I'm a tad surprised not to see Velocity listed as a partner (or well yet)

With Woolies in the Qantas camp, I would have expected Fly Buy's to go in with Velocity.

Time to will tell.....

I was expecting to see them ditch the tarnished, ancient Fly Buys brand (& program) once and for all....

Agreed - Flybuys is as dated as coughatoo Ridge sparkling wine.

I noted the new partnership with webjet. I took this as unfortunately precluding any future announcement (i.e. Monday) about a partnership with Velocity.

One thing I can say for sure is that new tv commercials start tomorrow and they feature Vicar of Dibley star Dawn French.

As a shareholder - damn, missed opportunity for easy cash
As a VFF Plat (BIS now) - YAY! no flybuy/everydayreward peasants filling all our rewards seats.

Who looks rather weird.

Webjet is really pushing themselves now.. Flybuys, Melbourne AFL team sponsorship...

A real shame to see no Velocity partnership. Big missed opportunity for Coles.

If the ads are anything like some of the recent efforts from Coles, then I suspect they won't be very good.

Let's just hope it doesn't involve singing:!:

I mentioned the lack of a Velocity alliance in another thread...

Disappointing
VERY disappointing

I really don't need any more QF points....

I'd much rather have Velocity points

 

[Justchecking]

Maybe they've (VFF) decided that the best way to maintain the value in the program is to keep it as a FFer program, rather than a frequent shopper program. Or maybe Coles just wanted too much. In any case every trip to Coles for me is an exercise in disappointment, never have the items I want, small stores with poor range, I'm glad not to be 'enticed' to shop there.

So would I, but sometimes companies just don't manage to come to a commercial agreement.

I think missed opportunity for Virgin rather than Coles.

I agree.

Agree again!

hmm... they should change the name from fly buys to "buys"...

Saw the advert last night, not too bad, but upon reading this thread, no reason for me to become a member.
