My 10 year old son has a Flybuys account…..

Picked up 10 this morning and will get the other 5 I want tomorrow. Reminder that there are often lots more of these inside the cabinet of the gift card shelf. So if none visible just take a look inside.

When you start off with such an obviously incorrect statement like “fly for free” the senses are immediately raised. Even ignoring the copayments (which to its credit the article DID mention once) that is simply wrong. Then when it became obvious that the linked article was simply hawking the...

Flight number has changed to SQ262 for operational reasons. Will also now be in the SIN T3 lounges on arrival for an extra hour as SQ212 now arrives 15:15. All other details remain the same. Could you please update in the main post? Thanks

I’ll give you my data point: this has not effected my offers materially/at all despite buying in the area of $200k of these gift cards when they used to run the 10% offers and scanning my flybuys every time. I also max out the bonus point gift Mastercard offers every time they are run. Offers...

Exactly the same. Just the flight number has changed. I’m also on this in December and received the notification this afternoon.

Perfect! All good with the luggage, planning to have Mrs NoName check mine on her flight.

Lovely! Sign me up for 3x5! :D

I’m flying F on SQ202 in December. I know there’s the unwritten benefit of lounge access on arrival in SIN. Any issues for me to spend 3hrs there while waiting for the other NoNames to arrive on SQ212? Thinking also in terms of when I go through immigration and they see my flight arrived hours...

Nearly resulted in a divorce but MrsNoName’s card/awards account finally got set up. Wasn’t able to register for internet banking so she had to ring HSBC again and was eventually able to find someone competent enough to sort the issue out for her. Same person was also able to direct her to her...

Still comes up for me when I search.

How long does it usually take to receive the email with your star alliance ID? Approval email said “a couple of days”. Mrs NoName applied and approved Monday, nothing yet in either inbox or junk mail. Anything to be concerned about yet?

100% this! I worked for a well-known Japanese conglomerate for several years and this is exactly my experience. Australian staff treated politely on a surface level but work there for more than say 6 months and you realise that we were treated like the dogs of the office. An inconvenient...

Spend $60 in one transaction at Coles each week for 4 weeks = 10,000pts - on 2 accounts Spend $80 in one transaction at Coles each week for 4 weeks = 10,000pts - on 1 account Will most like do one of the $60 offers. Continuing to get rolling “spend $110 = 4,400pt” offers on the $80 account...

I have briefly mentioned the start of my journey a couple of years ago in in the introduction to one of my trip reports but I will expand on that now. I had never even considered that earning points “en masse” would be possible. I remember seeing what I now know to be garbage, stories of how...

I have been paid out for both consecutive promos in this scenario many times in the past. Hoping it continues. :)

Do they overlap or just run one after the other? In any event, I’m doing one this afternoon (last day of the first promo, day before of the following one). Hoping they still both pay out. Spend $110 = 4,400pts on 1 account Spend $100 = 4,000pts on 2 accounts. Will see how much the bill is...

Me either. I now won’t be buying the other 10 I was planning on getting.

Anyone else have issues with the monthly points sweep lately? Statement issued Sunday with points earn summary as expected however still no points in the velocity account. Rang yesterday and confirmed all details correct. Supposedly a known issue that has affected many people and being worked...
