Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

OTOH make sure you rotate the UHT inventory. The expiry date is somewhat optimistic but we have "lost a few"

Happy wandering

Fred

Not that I am a 'frequent flyer' with calling companies about product failures BUT,

In the 34+ years of UHT milk purchases/use averaging 8-10 litres a week - never had one failure for any of the various brands that have come & gone or are still around. Not a failure due to contents but many failures due to plastic tab coming away from tin foil though.

Is the problem due to where you or the retailer stores them?

I traced an issue for a friend to the fact that for a short time, each afternoon, the sun shone directly onto their storage area for their cat's tins (pre-opening). Only caused problems in spring/summer - but 90x cooked cat food is not a tin to open willingly!

Something about being a year plus past the use by date...

Somewhat unpleasant (at the time) wandering

I have just got a slightly different offer:

"Collect up to $25 flybuys Dollars worth of bonus points at Coles"

Week 1. Spend $190 in one transaction to earn 1,000 points worth $5 and unlock week 2
Week 2. Spend $190 in one transaction to earn 2,000 points worth $10 and unlock week 3
Week 3. Spend $190 in one transaction to earn 2,000 points worth $10

Good to see a very clearly explained offer.

Ever get the idea that they have received many angry calls from customers asking where the points are as I spent X in weeks 2 & 3 and have got zero points....

Similar to the offer that I received, but mine is a more-achievable $50 in lieu of your $190.
 
No Fathers day bonus points for me yet from the prepaid Coles MasterCard offer.

Anyone else still waiting/know when they are/were supposed to post?
 
I got those ages ago and took advantage of the 15% transfer + to VA. You have not had yours yet? Here's the last one:

I think there's still time according to T&Cs but I did get mine at end of November

(I think you may be referring to wave 3 of the CMCGC offers rather than the Father's day one)

Edit:
These are the T&Cs

You're right it was the offer made in late October, not fathers day offering. The time frame is now up. Ill send an email if points not posted by tomorrow.

Nopoints for me yet either :-|
Rang flybuys today to chase them up - the young girl I spoke to took all the details and said she would need to 'send off' the details for processing (whatever that means).

Hopefully they post without too much pain

Also had to chase up 2000 bonus points for first click and collect from First Choice Liquor...
 
Has anyone gotten their 2000 bonus points from the First Choice Click and Collect offer from the start of November? The offer stated points would be credited within 4 weeks of offer ending and if memory serves right that one offer ended approx 1/11 or 2/11

I was told they would post by the end of the week.

There were two offers from memory. One in late October and one in early November. Not received the points for either offer. Just sent a message about this to Flybuys.

They are hopeless with crediting these bonus points.

What's Flybuys contact email for missing points? I'm also missing Flybuys points for the Medibank signup more than 6 months ago and for some CRMC purchases.
