Same here. It's a problem with the Uber cards not programmed into the system. I bought Hoyts card on another FB account and that came through.
 
pm’d the rep re uber gift cards and they advised that it should be resolved in the next couple of days.

Just confirming we identified an issue with the setup of this promotion. Those who purchased this card (and the Dymocks card) should have their points credited over the next day or so. Sorry for the inconvenience.
 
According to an article in The Australian flybuys are offering 30 points per transaction each time you bring your own bags in for your groceries. You need to show the checkout operator or the self serve staff member your bags, swipe your flybuys card and the staff member will activate the points bonus. I don't know whether these points will show up on the receipt or later in the flybuys account.

There's nothing on my receipt from yesterday. I had maybe 7 of my own bags and nothing was mentioned to me. Oh well
 
The 1000pts for doing a click and collect from Liquorland appears to have no minimum spend.

I saw an article online yesterday that seems to indicate that 30 points will be awarded automatically if you swipe your Flybuys card and don't buy any bags in that transaction. I asked a staff member about it this morning when I was in Coles. Her reply was "That's all Flybuys. Nothing to do with me.".
Coles and Woolies latest desperate plastic bag ploy

My transaction fits the criteria - swiped Flybuys card, no bags bought. There's nothing on the receipt that indicates any bonus but I'll check my account tomorrow to see if any extra points appear.

BTW, I think the Coles bonus bag points offer finishes in a few days (Tuesday?) but the Woolworths offer carries on until December. Now, that's a fiddly offer, requiring check out staff to count customer bags, scan a barcode and manually enter the number of bags into the terminal. (Yes, I visited Woolworths too this morning!)

Discussion here: Coles, Woolworths to Give points to those who bring their own shopping bags
 
I shopped on Monday with my own bags as normal. Nothing on docket.
Staff member said they do nothing as 30 points were automatic.
Sure enough the 30 points were in my account 2 days later, shown as a separate item

Mentioned here, where gift card offers, rather than general flybuys offers, are usually discussed:

Coles gift card offers

Worth reminding people that there is a limit of just 1 of these cards per flybuys account, which has become the norm with Coles, as has been discussed extensively in the other thread.

Thanks.I couldn't remember where that thread was.
 
Well I finally scored some major points - got an offer (think it was a a general one) for spend $50 x 4 weeks for 10K points. Interestingly, it was credited the day after the last spend. Cream on the cake - triple points for the last spend as well.

Got the same offer with this being the last week. Spent yesterday just got 10k at 9.47 pm and then transferred to Velocity under the general 15% bonus offer by midnight tonight
 
Does anyone know if I can get base FB points and virgin SCs buying gift cards like only 1 visa/ the perfect gift card?

You do get the base flybuys in addition when they have a bonus flybuys offer on. T&Cs say no at other times but I've never been able to work it out in practice (particularly as WISH/WW is such a better option outside of offer periods). It does seem that the Big Green DIY store do give base (not sure about SCs) so its possible that other 3rd party GCs do in practice
