Flybuys General Promotions

[chelzmalee]

Lots of triple points coupons in the mail recently. Coles are getting my business for a while now, rather than Woolworths.

I'd do it for 100 points, but I'm probably crazy.

I just checked my account and I can't see the survey listed.

flybuys are offering 100 points if you download the relevant Coles app on your phone and log in using you normal flybuys log in details.

Yep I did that one. Then deleted the app.

Have also downloaded the app, logged in, waited for the points to post then deleted the app straight away. An relatively easy way to earn some points.

Has anyone received the bonus points for downloading the Coles app and logging in with Flybuys details during the promotion period. The promotion ended on July 12 and it's now been more than 4 weeks since the promotion ended. I downloaded the app, logged in with my flybuys details during the promotion period then logged out a day or two later. I haven't received the bonus points yet and I'm trying to figure out whether it's worth chasing up. If other members haven't received their points yet it might be worth waiting awhile before chasing up.

Yes....

Has anyone looked at the terms and conditions of the current flybuys competition where they are giving away millions of flybuys points?

There is a section where they attempt to put a value on the points given away for each prize. The points value used is less than 0.5cents per point, which is the standard conversion for flybuys dollars. I have no idea where they came up with their conversion/value rate. Does this mean that flybuys are planning to de-value the points during the period of the competition so that in the future you will have to earn more than 2000 points to redeem $10 flybuys dollars? I know this is a popular redemption and there are lots of other redemptions where 0.5cents is the value of a point so this seemed a natural figure to use.

We’re sorry about this but we've made an error in our statement of the prize pool. You are correct that the prizes should have been valued at 0.5 cents per point. We can absolutely assure you that we have no intention of devaluing flybuys points, and we're sorry for any confusion.

Thank you for clarifying the situation.

10x flybuys on Only1 visa cards until 6/10 I think. Works out to be 5% rebate of card cost as store credit. "Activation fee" of 5.95 on $100 version means value is marginal, but might be worth it for some.

Gosh it's been a while since flybuys have had any decent general promotions. There have been a few bonus points on individual full price products instore plus a few random triple points deals of fresh products, but this week there is a good offer.

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/268106

Full details are above but the summary is 2000 points for $100 spend in Vic, Qld, Tas and WA, $15 back for next spend after $100 transaction (limited expiry date on voucher) in NSW/ACT and 1000 points for $50 transaction in SA/NT. All offers must be reached in one transaction. No voucher/coupon needed, just swipe your usual flybuys card.

$15 Vs $10 off - simple maths

It depends what state you are in. The $15 off next purchase deal is NSW and ACT only.

Definitely not a simple equation.

The 2000 points at Woolies is being channeled into QFF points. So much better value for me at Woolworths.

I suspected Coles would continue to fight hard to keep to maintain their customer base, and undercut Woolies with their spend $100 receive $10 promo found in the most recent weekly catalogue.

It Will be interesting to see what Woolies comes up with after the Double Points on Fresh comes off. Woolies will need to come up with another attractive promo next to continue to win over those customers chasing Points.

Just completed the store-wide promotion on this weekend, Spend $100 at Coles, receive 2000 bonus flybys points.
Easy way to bank up those points again for flight redemptions.
