Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

The current round of offers (I suspect) is to see just how addicted you have become.

Accounts with recent use (last month or so) got 6 to 9% offers for Monday to Wednesday use. Near dormant accounts got low spend and 12.5% offer.

interesting thoughts. No offers here on recently used cards or dormant ones either

I don't know what category I'd be in. But I don't swipe my card at woolies mostly.

I recently purchased heaps of gift cards via the catalogue specials.

And my latest offer was $30x4 to get 6000 points which makes it 25%
 
I got my usual Tuesday email from flybuys advising me of my the specials which start on Wednesday that partly match my previous spending pattern. There was a new addition to this regular email. I got a reminder to use my week 12 triple points coupon and a link to print a new copy of the coupon if I had lost the original coupon. This is a great feature for people who have lost their coupons or can't keep track of what week they are up to.

Hopefully this will continue for the next round of coupons, whenever they happen to appear. The print option brings up a PDF document. It might be possible to display this coupon on the screen of a mobile phone and get it scanned by one of the new coupon scanners or at the self serve checkout. This will also be great for people who have their data turned on, on their phone and don't like carrying coupons around. I'm happy with the paper coupons which I'm good at keeping track of but I can see how the new feature will help lots of other members.
 
If anyone read the (edit to correct error-4k not 5k thought it was 5k FB points) 4000 FB offer and is salivating, its the one where you pay for your Coles Supermarket checkout with Google pay, note some phones cannot work without NFC, ie, near field communication.
I made the effort to put Google pay onto my Android phone, but then came the hump in the dream.
No NFC on my phone, so no 5000 FB points!
 
Just received a 10,000 points offer, if I spend $90 over four weeks. I have 11 days to shop in week 1. Will likely take the offer up.

Same, almost like clockwork after the early week 3x offer. 4x $80 for 10k here. Activated but may or may not spend, depending on the coupons that may or may not come in the post.

I got 4 x $50 for 10,000 fb points. Yay for not accepting the last offer, my spend has reduced!
 
$50 x 4 = 10,000. But, as I'm away and won't take it up, I hope that the next offer may be even easier to attain after I get back.
 
Our 4 week offer was $50 each week for 10,000 points. We should be able to do it. I'll take a break this week as I have plenty of Woolworths offers and do the spend in the second half of Week 1. The long week 1 will confuse a lot of people.
 
Our 10,000 point offer was $130 for 4 weeks. With only the 2 of us that is not going to happen. Also probably means I will not get another offer for about 5 weeks

can I suggest the other person in your household gets their own flybuys card? That may increase your options...
 
sorry, by own 'flybuys card', I really meant 'own flybuys account'. Conveniently, that's what we have because my account predates my husband & his me...

Thanks, I might just try that

This used to be the case however sometimes flybuys does send out offers in week 2 or 3 of the promotion if you don't take up the 4 week offer from the start.
