One question I have is whether there is a purchase limit here? Looking at the T&Cs it seems to suggest that there is indeed a limit of 5 cards per Flybuys account, but perhaps I am missing something here.I went to one store in Sydney, took 10. The grandma staff member at check out said 5 only and took 5 off my hand
Went to another one, the staff said they haven't received any.
Yep it’s definitely 5 per account but I had this argument with a staff member a couple weeks back when I was trying to buy 10 cards across both mine and my brothers account. Staff member made it clear that she’d be watching to see if I returned for the other 5 as she wouldn’t let my buy more than 5, even if I returned later that day or the following day (which I did).
I told grandma that I saw the 5 cards per account, then she said no, 5 cards per person, then just took them off my hands. Like how a grandma would tell their grandkids off
I had this exact same drama which I mentioned here a few weeks back with the TCN cards. <Staff Member> went on a rant about scams and scammers in front of other customers making me out to be some sort of scammer. These big supermarkets have been price gouging and scamming customers since forever. coughs just turned over a $1.1B profit and they’re going to tell me what I can spend my money on?I told grandma that I saw the 5 cards per account, then she said no, 5 cards per person, then just took them off my hands. Like how a grandma would tell their grandkids off
For entertainment, could you tell us what did that staff member say about scam? Like how does buying gift card relate to scams?
That’s the thing, she wouldn’t elaborate. I have no idea what the scam could be. Perhaps people are paying cash for cards and laundering dirty money? Maybe people are using stolen credit/debit cards to purchase gift cards? Whatever it is, it isn’t my problem. If they’re so problematic they should probably stop selling them altogether, or stop enticing people with bonus points promos. I’ve become known as a points collector amongst family, friends, work colleagues, etc. lost count of the amount of times I’ve made purchases at JB Hi-Fi, Apple, etc, for products that aren’t for me, but purchased by me for the sake of collecting points. Sounds like a lot of effort but it’s often the same people asking me how I can continue flying business/first multiple times a year!
I think that's to protect the customer from being scammed, not accusing the customer of being a scammer ......
You'll need to go to the edge of civilisation. Coles Lilydale perhaps?
Good suggestion. It's only 1 hour 10 mins by train, and the Coles is only like 10 mins walk from station.
Sadly Whittlesea only has an IGA. Coles Mernda would be my pick. Coles Wallan would be even better.
There are a lot of new housing in Wallan? Wouldn't there be a lot of people going there because of OzB?
Baulkham Hills would be sold out by now. Nothing at Macquarie Centre at 8 AM this morning, and still nothing at lunch time.
