View attachment 91862

Then yesterday got a reminder (with "activated" showing) attached to the "weekly specials" email spend $x ,,,,

Today's email (OVERKILL FlyBuys - enough already)..."Collect 10,000 bonus points" has the amount to spend each week $X + 20 vs the previous emails.

Scrolling down in the email it also says "activated" - fat finger at FlyBuys perhaps?

As I only 'activated' one offer this is curious.

But according to the emails received and 'stack-ability' then if I force feed long life products into our house - we'll get 20,000 points after 4 weeks for spending $70/week - thus satisfying both offers that FB says are activated.

Interesting times.

Flybuys - which one is correct?

Sorry for the confusion - can you please send us your details in a private message for us to investigate?
 
Received a Shell Coles Express in-store purchase offer:
$5 for 200 points or $10 for 400 points.

Not that great, but I happen to need a new swap-n-go gas bottle, so will activate.
 
I received a Coles Express offer late last year for bonus points on 30L+ of fuel. Don't do a huge amount of driving as I work part-time, but it's about the only FB offer I've ever received for Coles Express where I didn't have to buy V-Power LOL (and God forbid I should ever get any Coles offers :(. ) Anyway, the offer ran from 3 November to 2 February - was just looking through my Flybuys transactions and realised I haven't received bonus points for 4 of the 6 qualifying purchases I made during that time, I only received bonus points for the 3rd and 5th purchases, not any of the others. I know the Ts & Cs state the points will be added "no later than 4 weeks after the promotion end date" (the 4 weeks is up tomorrow), but it's odd I seem to have received them "randomly" on two purchases only. Anyone else had this happen?

Go into your flybuys account and unsubscribe from Coles emails. There are various types of emails available. Log out and then about an hour later log back in and resubscribe to emails from Coles/Flybuys. Usually the offers start coming back in the following few weeks. This technique has worked for me a couple of times when my offers have dried up for a month or so. If it doesn't work, try unsubscribing from all flybuys emails and then resubscribing a day later.

We bought the best restaurant cards (same offer) yesterday- no points yet but often they update in the afternoon? Will be watching to ensure we can transfer in time for the 15% bonus!

Thanks Rainbowgirl - I've tried that in the past with no luck (as I mentioned earlier, I've had practically no offers for 4 years!) but as you've had success with it, I'll try it again. Fingers crossed it might work this time!

Now that points transfers are in place is there anything holding you back from cancelling your account and starting again?

Without any bonus offers (and therefore little incentive - except for SC earn - to move more shopping over from WW or Aldi), it's a long slow slog to earn points as we don't have a huge shopping bill with only two of us in the household, so don't have enough points at the moment to transfer LOL. On the odd occasions I do reach 2000 FB points, I use it for $off my shop anyway. Husband's card is on the same account as mine and his Velocity account is linked, so I don't really want to start mucking about with all that at the moment as I'm about to go away for a month. When i get back, I might look at cancelling and starting over as it's quite frustrating reading about all the bonus points offers everyone else seems to receive on a regular basis!
 
Received email inviting me to get 3 months Velocity 'Explore Gold' then 12 months if I reach 80 SC and 1 eligible sector. Any good and cheap options to get this 80Sc in 1 flight or 2 flights (for couple flying)?

checked today and still no 2k points for netflix gift card (bought last wednesday)
 
All of my targeted promos are for spend at First Choice. Getting sick of these offers (and on a side note, way to go encouraging responsible sale of alcohol, Flybuys)
