Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

Same, got overlapping offers. But, this isn't unusual.
Had you already completed Wk 1 on the a/cs that got the single spend offers today or not?

Curious if there's a data point there - if you get an additional enticement if you don't complete Wk 1 with only 2 days left to go? Possibly special case going into silly season though.

What are the chances of getting a week of a four week promo manually approved after about half of the value of my online order was out of stock?

I've been told in the past it was $30 out of stock items. Also I was $40 short to out of stock items and was given the points pass so could be case of HUACA.
 
Used a targeted offer today, "Spend $100 online and get $20 off" No bonus points but the $ makes up for it. :)
 
I have had no 4x/10k offers or even a spend x for 1000 offer in a couple months on my account. I have had the same number for years. I only get specific product offers.

My husband is still getting these offers but his account is newer than mine.

Should I cancel my old card, get a new one and can I link this new one to Velocity in place of the old one?

Have you tried not using it for a couple of months?

I have cut way down on using it, only getting a couple targetted products if it's something I normally use. But I was thinking a good strategy was to put only a small amount, $20-30 on it so they know I am alive and spending way less than I used to. Only other thing I can think of is a new Flybuys account in someone else's name but I am worried about using a fake person with their own Velocity account to auto-sweep into my Velocity account. But I am getting sick of being passed over for the spend X for 10k when I have been a good customer for years.
 
One account got spend $30 for 1200 bonus points offer. We're going away to Thailand in a few days and half price Tim Tam's would be perfect.

(Must be just about due for half price Tim Tams)
 
On two accounts: spend $50 at coles each week for 2 weeks = 2,000pts or spend $90 at coles each week for 2 weeks = 3,000pts

On another account same offer but spend is $60 or $100 each week.
 
On two accounts: spend $50 at coles each week for 2 weeks = 2,000pts or spend $90 at coles each week for 2 weeks = 3,000pts
Same here

Other account spend $130 each week for two weeks = 4000 points or spend $170 each week for two weeks = 6000 points

I’ll pass and wait for the 4@$50 = 10000 points offers
 
Flybuys playing silly buggers again.

One account spend $70/week x 2 weeks for 2000 bonus points. They also had option of spend $110/week x 2 weeks for 3000 bonus points. Yeah nah.

Other account spend $90/week for 2 weeks for 3000 bonus points. They also had option for spend $130/week x 2 weeks for 4500 bonus points. Yeah nah.
 
My account:
Collect 3,000 bonus points
When you complete a $90 shop at Coles, each week for 2 weeks
or
Collect 4,500 bonus points
When you complete a $130 shop at Coles, each week for 2 weeks instead

My husband got $110 and $150 respectively.

I'm doing the $130 on my account, his account needs to get back down to better levels.
 
80*2 for 3000 or 120*2 for 4500. Also got a $30 for 1200 which I might hit up but not the big ones. Need to get these targets down.
 
$80 x 2 weeks for 3,000 points or
$120 x 2 weeks 4,500 points

Mine is:
2x $50 spend over 2 weeks = 2,000 points
2x $90 spend over 2 weeks = 3,000 points
 
$120/4000 or $160/6000 for two consecutive weeks for me.

All my spends the past 3 months was <$50 but for one $235 shop early December, and some weeks spending nothing, so I think the algorithms are no good at the moment

Also just received 4 day spend $150 for 2500 points starting Saturday.

I'm hiding these offers as not useful for my current situation
