Hasn't been any $100 ones at Coles Macquarie Centre for a number of months. They ran out of the $50 ones during the promotion. I'm hoping to find another 9 x $100 ones at another store before the targeted promotion finishes.

Plenty of $100 cards in the multiple stores in the Manly area. Wouldnt have been without the 10-card cap, based on previous promos
 
I've been sent two First Choice offers:

500 points/$50 (online order) and 750 points/$50 (in-store or online).
Shame I can't stack them.

Agree. Not everyone got targeted for the bonus 1000 bonus
But the standard offer of 2000 pts for a net $5 profit for one card only I don't think most people will be bothered

Only us serial point collectors
 
I completed my 4 week promotion today. I didn't do a top up shop on Wednesday which is when I usually collect a docket deal. There was no docket deal on the receipt today so I think they might be cutting down on them. I'll be doing limited shopping next week at Coles. It's usually only worth spending $50 when I can combine an email deal, a docket deal and a coupon. It doesn't really matter how good the email offer is next week, I doubt I'll do a large spend. I've got plenty of Woolworths offers to keep me going so I won't miss stocking up at Coles. I'll just go for some of the half price specials and the products which Coles sells but Woolworths doesn't.

Im glad its not just me missing out on docket deals ...haven't seen one for nearly 3 weeks ...they are definitely cutting them back
 
I didn't get one this week either (on two accounts). That would be four weeks (at least) since I last received my last docket deal. Will also be shopping at Woolworths next week.
 
I got a triple points on your largest shop at Coles which runs from next Tuesday to next Friday. It's a strange qualifying period and even stranger sending out a triple points email offer a couple of days in advance. I'm sure some people will get confused with the dates. Triple points isn't enough to get me excited by the offer. If there's something specific I need in Coles, I'll make a small purchase later in the week but there's no incentive to spend more there when I can't stack multiple offers. I'm wondering if the fact that the offer ends Friday means that there is a 4 week offer starting on Saturday May 20. If I can get a decent target for a 4 week promotion I might go back there.

Got same offer and have a triple points coupon - even so 6x points is uninspiring.

Thanks, I'd forgotten I also have a docket one! Will pop in and pick up the Country Road voucher (from the catalogue) on Tuesday. With the 15% bonus that's 1150 VA points for a $50 spend. Not awe inspiring, but good!

I also got the email Triple Points on largest shop from Tuesday to Friday. I activated it and checked my offers on the website. This is what it says;

Activated
Offer valid from Mon 15 May and Thu 18 May 2017.
[h=5]Terms and Conditions[/h]Coles Supermarkets Multi POINTS offer
Offer valid only at Coles, Coles online and Bi-Lo Supermarkets (excludes Coles Express). To qualify for this offer you must activate this offer and present your flybuys card at the time of purchase. Offer valid on your largest transaction from Mon 15 May 2017 and Thu 18 May 2017, and for Coles online orders delivered from Mon 15 May 2017 and Thu 18 May 2017. TRIPLE flybuys points equals 1 standard flybuys point and 2 BONUS POINTS per $1 spent, no TRIPLE POINTS on individual BONUS POINTS offers. You have been specifically selected for this offer and it is not transferable. BONUS POINTS can only be collected once per flybuys household. Points awarded after savings, discounts and vouchers (excludes all gift cards, iTunes cards and smoking/tobacco product purchases). This offer has been sent to you by flybuys. flybuys’ privacy policy applies. Standard flybuys terms and conditions apply and are available at flybuys.com.au.



The bolding of the dates is mine. So which dates are correct?
 
My email says Tuesday to Friday, the terms and conditions in the activated offer says Monday to Thursday. The offer appeared in my current offers section even after I activated it. I'm guessing there was a glitch in the system and the offer appeared twice and disappeared once. There will definitely be some confusion amongst members. I suspect that the Monday to Thursday offer is actually correct based on the fact that my account believes the offer is current and the 4 full days left mean that the offer ends on Thursday. I think the account overrides the email which sounds wrong but is probably correct. Either way, if I do shop there I will probably shop on Thursday so I'll get the points anyway.

So maybe the 4 week offers will come out on Friday and the first week will be 10 days. I have no idea. I'm only speculating.
 
I got this one too, except in the email it said Tue-Fri, but when I looked under my offers on the website it said Mon-Thu.

Just got this in an email:

Same email also.

Glad that after I went and stocked up on a couple of specials that I had forgotten about on the weekend.

As it happened - weekend shop completed the 10,000 point 4 week offer, combined with 2 triple points coupons and two 1,000 points coupons.

Happily enough bulk of amount spent each qualifying shop was on stocking up with half-price specials or half-price free range meat for the freezer.

WIN_WIN_WIN :D using DGCs bought earning FF points. Now to transfer them across at the 15% bonus... (remember you have until May 31)

Sometimes Mondays can be good!
