Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

[AisleSeat]

Received a $50/4 week/10000 point offer. (On a card I haven't used in over a month)

Received a $60/4 week/10000 point offer an card that I've previously just had a run of 3 x $50/4 week/10000 point offers.

Also received a 5x/$40 Liquorland and a 500 points/$50 First Choice offer

Anyone having problems getting Liquorland points to credit? Base points credit fairly quickly but an email offer and a coupon (both spend x for y points) still haven't posted. Both transactions more than a week ago.

While Coles bonus points are generally quick to post, the same is not true of other merchants. Liquorland can take a few weeks to post the points for various bonus offers.

$50 a week for four weeks and get 10,000 points. My first week of 10 days starts tomorrow.

I thought there might be another 4 week offer around the corner based on the timing and type of some of the other targeted offers out there. Thanks to you I checked my account and found a 4 x $50 offer for 10,000 points in the account.

Make sure you are really careful about the dates of week 1 and then the subsequent weeks which are a little different.

Have fun stacking offers while you can.

We've held off signing up my girlfriend based on what we've read here, since the Flybuys marketing machine seems to like raising the spending bar everytime you achieve a series of offers, so hopefully we'll be able to start the fun all over again when my card gets to the point where they are trying to get me to spend $200 a shop.

Having been a regular user of the Fly Buys scheme in New Zealand (mainly due to being an employee of the company that ran it, where they handed out the points like candy and I saw all the upcoming offers and discounts in advance), while the range of stores is not as good, the offers over here definitely are alot more generous and achievable, and more frequent.

The travel portal is also magic, earning 15x points on a Virgin Flight I was going to book anyway to LA, combined with the standard Velocity Status Credit and Points earn is something that the NZ mob have spent multiple years trying to get off the ground.

Surprised employees were allowed to participate in the scheme!
Also, make sure those points you're earning are better value than various cashback/discount options you have, like the various virgin australia discount codes and cashrewards referrals to many travel sites.

WE've been "graduated" from 4x$50 to 4x/$60 for the 10K points. It is still a good discount but I may pass as the pantry is not really empty enough.

The local Coles fuel shop would need a 10c/litre discount to be competitive esp on diesel.

Happy wandering

Fred

Spend $80 or more in one OR multiple shops each week for 4 weeks and choose…

$25 or 5000.

another 10c a litre off every refill for the next 6 days - local prices still low - goodo

Got 10 c off, 10c useless for us in Melbourne with the price jumping 30c.

Received a 15,000 bonus points offer for 4 x $90. I have activated it but need to monitor the situation.

Chucked out the triple point docket as they are not awarded for bonus points offers

Mine is $70 a week for 4 weeks for 10K pts.

While Coles bonus points are generally quick to post, the same is not true of other merchants. Liquorland can take a few weeks to post the points for various bonus offers.

So it appears - still waiting for my Liquorland bonus points. Actually I am also having trouble getting some of those individual bonus point offers for items at Coles to post. Unfortunately the Flybuys service centre always makes you wait the 4 weeks before they will post them manually even though you know if they haven't posted within 4 or 5 days they are never to going to turn up on their own.

Huh? I have used dockets with weekly offers plus spend offers... I have had some quite good hauls by stacking.

Docket bonus points are still valid.

They don't triple the bonus offers, but they do work on the base spend. So you'd get an extra 100 points on that $50 spend!

(In my experience, your mileage may vary, this is general advice only....)

 

[Major]

Thanks for the info. I just looked at the docket which states something like triple points not offered on bonus point offers, so I chucked it in the bin.

Next time I will have a go.

 

[Talkon]

No, what that usually means in the terms and conditions is that you can't get triple points on the bonus points - but you can on the base spend.

So in a week where you are earning bonus points (or working towards a 4 week target), you can stack a triple points docket deal and a triple points coupon and a triple points email offer in addition to the bonus points - and get 7x the base spend.

For those that need to meet $ spends, their is a great deal on Cat food. Basically if you spend $44 on Whiskas cat food pouches you can get 5 x $10 JB HIFI e gift cards.

Even if you're not a Cat owner you could donate the Cat food to animal shelters and ask for a receipt to claim back on tax.

I got the 15,000 bonus points offer for 4 x $90 as well. I always stack these with email & docket deals, especially the product promos.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

I am really surprised that 2 offers can be used simultaneously!
Maybe because 1 comes from the store, when the bar code on the voucher is scanned, the other one comes from FB head office.
Wonder if I bought certain products at the same time, if the haul could have been increased.
Spend $60 for 500 FB points tear off slip that came in the mail out, and then I also got 2,000 FB points for spending, yep, $60 as in the email I got.
My VFF points are now up again, even just after using up some points for an upcoming trip.
Oh happy days.

 

[get me outta here]

I'm doing the 10K points x 4 x $50. I am simultaneously getting emails offers for more offers on similar $40 and $50 spends. Can I get all these rewards at the same time?
