Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

[Dr Ralph]

When I started explaining to friends how I have been able to get 2 business return flights to Mumbai with Singapore airlines, through Velocity points accumulated with Flybuys, bonuses with Coles insurance policies, and David Jones Amex card (get more points from Coles shopping), it all became very clear - play the customer loyalty game and it pays benefits.

Just think how far being disloyal would have gotten you

I received another email for 1,000 bonus points for $70 spend from Saturday-Tuesday.

I guess that is on top of the 3 week offer.

 

[d00dz]

Damm current offer of the MCs 10,000 points max, which means only 10 cards. Still better than nothing I guess!

Have you checked your Flybuys account? I haven't received an email about the Mastercard offer yet, but checked my account and it's there - I find I often don't receive emails for new offers until late afternoon/evening.

No luck

Bummer.

I usually won't go for these sorts of offers anyway unless they're offering 2000 points, seeing as there's the $5 card purchase fee - the 1000 points cancels that out, but then I'm no further ahead so to me there's not really much point (unless there's something I'm missing!) as the card purchase doesn't count towards any spend targets nor do you get regular Flybuys points for the transaction.

 

[JohnK]

You can purchase the Coles Gift Mastercards with an Amex card then use these to pay bills such as the ATO with a small surcharge but more importantly earn points for that ATO spend which is getting harder to earn with standard credit cards.

There's a huge thread on ATO spend that discusses the various ways to maximise points earn.

I haven't received this promotion and from memory the Coles downstairs doesn't have these gift Mastercards in sale anyway.

Yes, I've seen that in the ATO spend thread, but I rarely ever have an ATO bill anyway, only a (VERY) small refund each year so not a consideration for me but certainly an option for those who need a workaround.

Our local Coles sometimes has the gift Mastercards but not always, and when they do, there's never many of them on the display stand.

I received this email. Checked my local Coles they only had the new labeled $50 cards, but did have some of the older labelled $100 cards which expire in June this year. Would they work for the offer?

Yep they will

 

[andye]

Mrs and Mstr andye got the CGMC offer which is good (and timely). Must say there weren't many cards around last month when the 1 per person offer was on

 

[lang_13]

No love from Coles here either
Gift cards would have been have handy to meet min spend requirement on new credit card.
Did spot a 10xflybuys on ebay offer though.

 

[andye]

Found lots of $100 CGMC in my Local Champion store. Happy days...until they spring a $400 per day 'store policy' on me. So a few more visits before they are snaffled up

 

[Dr Ralph]

Did spot a 10xflybuys on ebay offer though.

I got that. You had to pay via paypal though so not as good as the 15% off deal on the ebay cards at Woolworths this week.

 

[SOPOOR]

Csnt seem to justify buying these since i dont have ato spend and cant use discounted gift cards to buy

Worth it if you have a supermarket bonus card like the Edge or value VF points at more than 1c.. if you have the targetted offer of course

Yes i have edge and generally if i need to usr visa or mc cards where amex not accepted. I will just buy the only1s
Obviiusly i pay a small surcharge.
So yes this deal is marginally better then my technique

 

[Must...Fly!]

I got the offer. Still deciding if I should take advantage really, its very borderline, especially as I only have an explorer so 1.5ppd.
