Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

Received a promotion from Flybuys that double SCs of Virgin on Dec. Does anyone receive double SCs buying gift cards?
If I achieve 20 SCs on Dec, can I still get extra SCs from family pool?
 
Sure enough, after passing mid-way through the 4 Week offer, got a new offer for a single shop - 2,500 bonus points for $180. I'll pass, as they have put up the spend hurdle (likely as I have been spending over the hurdle). IGA may benefit this week..
 
Completed week 3 of 4 for 10k points ($180x4) and noticed something interesting. Bought 4 packs of Bundaberg drinks as we’ve always been buying them and there was a coupon of 450 points. Didn’t realise it was for each otherwise I would have stocked up for the Christmas lunch/dinner! Typically my coupons have always only been redeemable once :-(

Coles Express offer
5x points/$1 for over $45 spend, includes petrol.

Seems @flybuys have really screwed this up or the offer is not what it seemed.

Spent $49.98 on fuel on 4 Nov
24 points from this purchase posted on 6 Nov
50 points from this purchase posted on 12 November
Today another 98 points from the same purchase
=173

None of these numbers add up to 5 points/$ which should be 225 total, unless 52 is still coming.
 
I got a free bag of Coles popcorn....
Picked up popcorn and manned checkout.
Swipe and told to pay?
Checkout says I believe you it's free checkout chick asked senior....write it off!

Come home compare email to package..... Whoops picked up 220g not 100g pack
 
I had 4 x $120 spend and got 15,000 points.

Now to take a break from Coles for a while because I could only spend that much each week because 2 of the shops was for my office.

After stopping buying in Week 3 of the 4 week offer ($180), they offered $180 for 3 days (see post above) and I waived that one as well. Sure enough, new offer is $170 for 2,500 bonus points from Wed through Friday. Will probably let that one slide as well. Did a $24 shop this morning for work items and got triple points on it, so let's see what the algorithm thinks of that spend.
 
Like your attachment, I also had the 40000 Coles MasterCard points added to my account. I transferred them over on the last day of the VA bonus offer. Today I looked and they had removed the 40000 bonus points so my account is now in a negative balance. I called flybuys to be informed Coles MasterCard made a mistake on a few accounts and did a reversal of the points.
 
Wife and I received offer of 1,500 bonus points NAN A2 stage 3 toddler milk. We are loyal Aptamil buyers.

Also completed week 4 of 4 x $50 for 10,000 bonus points. Bought some lamb to leave in the freezer when wife and daughter return.

I looked at my account a couple days ago and also noticed that 40k points vanished. There is an amendment by the MasterCard call centre so I assumed it was a mistake. I use the card often so thought it was a promo that I didn’t know about. Oh well...

Was hoping for a eBay bonus points promo like the 20x one they ran a few months back but unfortunately nothing. Would have been great for all the Christmas shopping.
 
I've received offer of 3,000 bonus points for $190 spend this weekend.

At least spend target has come down.
 
I receive another $170 spend for 2,500 points for this weekend. I just spent $203 at Coles (but mostly was for gift cards), so not expecting it will be eligible.
 
Copped a nice 10x bonus points on Coles, Liquorland, First Choice and Target valid for 4 days along with a 3x points on fresh produce and meat. Hit my week 4 of $180 spend for 10k points plus coupled with a bonus 1000 points for $50 spend at the bottle shop I may do the Christmas alcohol shopping and get that out of the way.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm really behind on my notifications.

Coles Express pays points at 1 point per $2.

24 base plus 98 sounds almost correct for this purchase(I'd make it 96 bonus points actually). I'm guessing the 50 points was for a Tell Coles Express survey or a bonus points item in the transaction.
 
They must be trying to wish me Merry Xmas as well, for the 3rd week in a row, giving me an offer of 2,500 bonus points for $170. I might be able to achieve it
