Coles gift card offers

[blacksultan]

On the positive side you do earn 1 FB point as per normal spending and they do count as spend for VA status credits.

On the negative side they do not count towards any FB spend targets but they will dramatically increase future spend targets.

I don’t scan my FB card as for me the negatives vastly outweigh the positives.

Thanks . If you buy more than 5 across several trips / days on same flybuys acct . Will the points still post ?

I would imagine they will. I am not aware that the FB program has any earning caps. If you bought yesterday you should see the points after 6pm this evening.

I find that Canberra website only takes 5 a day.

Can confirm this. Have had just over 4,000 flybuys credit from yesterday which was done over 4 seperate visits. Pretty sure I will be discarding this account at the end of this promo.

This may or may not be common knowledge but for anyone looking for additional stock of these $250 cards, if there’s none on the shelves try looking inside the gift card cabinet. There is a door on either side with various boxes inside. The boxes with the $250 cars look like this:



I am finding these quite often. Either ask a staff member to look for you or open and look yourself.

I reckon I'd get arrested if I got caughted snooping around the cabinets

I went to a few stores, every second one had $100s bought as many as I could,which was only 5 since I went at a quiet time and they had just a few staff. Managed to find one store with about 10x $250s so I took them too, overall happy.

BTW. Are you guys using gift cards to buy? I'm using credit card as I can't find any coles cards with bigger balances. I could use manned but it's quite awkward

I managed to find some $250 ones today but it is reaching a point where it is not worth my time searching around for them

You won’t be arrested. First store I asked them to look inside for me and they were happy to do it. Second store they told me I was welcome to look myself. Don’t think there is any issue. It’s not like any theft is being attempted. Simply finding out if any additional stock is available.

I am generally using gift cards to buy. Haven’t run into any issues doing this as yet.

I'm assuming you're buying the $100 ones

 

[NoName]

Not bothering with $100. It’s $250 or nothing for me. If anyone can be bothered with the $100s there are literary boxes and boxes everywhere. It would almost be neverending the number you could get. Just a pain logistically.

Thank heavens they've limited it. I'm still exhausted after the inception shenanigans two weeks ago.

Huge savings, I spose 5% is 5% to some.

Yup not worth my effort...the recent offer was much more generous esp if you could get your hands on the $250 one where you would save $18.70

Don't forget this will also drive up your minimum spend offers. It will take many months to come back down.

Yeah, I read the 10% off was better.

It was quite exhausting by the end of the week though. In saying that I hope they do it again some time in the next few months!
