New to flybuys, quick question.
If I get an offer spend $50 a week for 4 weeks to earn 10,000 points and then get an offer spend $30 for 1200 points will my $50 spend cover the $30 or do I need to spend $50 and $30? I hope that makes sense

The $50 will cover both if it’s for the same dates of the offer. They stack together

Had to ring Flybuys today to chase them for my 10k bonus points from the recent "spend x over 4 weeks" - credited immediately after I hung up from the call. Haven't had to chase them before - has anyone else had difficulties with this?

No issues on either of the cards I use.

None for me either. 10,000 points paid out withing 24 hours of achieving the required spends.

I have never had a spend x for 10k points not post automatically but a few weeks ago had a spend x for y points not post. I sent an email and it was fixed up within about a week.

 

[JohnK]

- Wife spend $100 for 4000 bonus points
- Me spend $80 for 2000 bonus points.

May do first one as I'll be overseas for a month and enough time to get spend target back down.

Anyone else got auto transfer Flybuys to Velocity email this morning? I havent done the math if its worth it or waiting for transfer offers


Auto Transfer between Flybuys and Velocity is the best way to score more Velocity Points.
With Auto Transfer on, every 1,000 Flybuys points you collect will be automatically transferred to your linked Velocity account for 500 Velocity Points.~
So start banking those Velocity points to help pay for your next holiday!
Simply turn on Auto Transfer and transfer a minimum of 1,000 Flybuys points to Velocity before Wed 31 Aug 2022 to collect 300 Flybuys points and 300 Velocity Points.+ Talk about a win-win!

I received the email. The real problem with auto-transfer is that if you switch it on it will automatically transfer all of your FB points to Velocity if you have more than 2k points. I would rather transfer them as I need to. Sometimes I book Velocity flights through FB and they count as cash fares earning the usual points and scs.

I think this is what they hope for and harvest large collections of FB points from people who think they are only transferring 1,000 points.

Can't emphasise the all in this enough.

Considering just redeeming those that I don't want to transfer over to velocity into FB$ before signing up for this offer.

Hardly seems worth it? Don't you just get one x 300 Flybuys points and 300 Velocity Points regardless of the amount (over 1000 VP) that you transfer?

I did not know booking flights via FBs that is treated as cash fare. Never seen or heard about this... Interesting.

Finally got a Coles FB shop offer, same $100 for 4000points, will do.

6 accounts all got $50 * 4 for 10k points. All 6 also have $30 for 1200 points - almost a regular rotation now for all but those on the 4 week offers.
