Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

Was at my local Coles yesterday and saw this offer displayed on the gift card shelf:
Purchase selected gift cards ($50 or $100) and get 2000 bonus fly buys points. Quite a list they have there for the bonus points. The one that stood out was Coles Myer gift cards.
Don't seem to be targeted.

The offer expired yesterday for the 2,000 point bonus - in looking today for the targeted offer I noticed that 2 of 3 stores had not removed the signs on the top of the cards' display.

All three stores had zero cards - two were in the top tier of store size category. Not happy and funnily enough all store managers at a meeting with the area manager (one can only hope).
 
Is there a minimum spend?

Doesn't appear so:

Thanks. Just tried to make a purchase, but it appears that they wont accept gift card.
 
I have always received these coupons in the past but not this time. I called Fly Buys to be told these coupons are 'targetted' and I must just have been lucky to have always received them. Is this correct?

It's difficult to say.

Reported experiences vary.

Why don't you open another account?
 
thank you for your reply - in case I didn't make myself clear, I'm referring to the book of vouchers, the first of which expires next Sunday.

Yes, these coupons are targeted.

The targets on the coupons will vary between members.

The less often you shop at Coles, the more likely you are to receive the coupons.
 
Seems I have shopped too much at Coles then because no book of vouchers this time round. However, just have to spend $90 this week to complete a spend $90 for 4 weeks to get 15,000 points.
 
Did the first of my 3 x $50 shops today. Got fuel on the way home, when I asked for the bonus points rather than the 4 cents per litre off the guy said I was the only one who had requested that!

This morning's shop should have earns me >1000 VFF points for about $80 (stuff I would have purchased anyway... Ok except the Coles coffee ice creams!)
 
just got back from a 3 week trip, and had some coupons in the mail. Have successfully lowered my target to $40, with $50 at Christmas. Used a few of the bonus points on product ones. The liquorland ones are fairly useless as they are $40 spend and I don't think I've ever spent that much there.

Indeed, especially when you can make use of AMEX Small Shop this month to help yourself to some cheap beer - my local bottlo will happily split the carton across a couple of cards. Nice cheap beer :-)
 
Received an email tonight offering double status credits for Nov /Dec. Ceiling also increased from 10 to 20 for these months.
I won't get close to that :-(

With the targeted FB promotion on prepaid C MCs, last night I added a decimal point to the potential SCs I didn't get (very loud sniff).

The family andye has a pretty big supermarket spend, but with two accounts earning double SCs, it would have been easier to max out the SCs if GCs were included
