So I've had a few silly offers that I've ignored. Quite some time now without offers and keep putting a few dollars through Flybuys here and there.

Wife's account has had the $50 x 4 week offers and we haven't gone over. Haven't seen anything for 5-6 weeks.

Received offers of spend $90 x 2 weeks for 3000 bonus points or spend $130 x 2 weeks for 4500 bonus points.

It's not that it's a ridiculous offer how do you send that to someone who has spent <$60 each time and recently very little spend on card.

This is not going to spark a revival.

Actually come to think of it I got spend $70 for 10% off. No. Not interested.

I'm experiencing recently that I'll get an offer such as spending a certain amount two weeks in a row for X points. But after completing the first week, the offer just disappears. And it doesn't come back for the 2nd week. Anyone else?

Yes, but then after making the spend it's awarded. Happened on both accounts tonight. For this reason I normally keep all receipts until points awarded at Coles.

Also because points take 1-2 days to appear in flybuys, unlike Woolies rewards which come through instantly. It's one thing I wish flybuys would get better at tbh.

Yeah have noticed this happens then usually the next part of the offer comes through a couple days after the first one disappeared
 
3000pts for $210. Errr... no.

(Going to have to wait a few weeks for the algorithm to revert to my usual $50-$60 spend after buying lots of Boost vouchers...)
 
Patience paid off.

$110 X 4 weeks 10k points.

Less than our household spend so great.

Buying gift / pre-prepaid cards certainly not affect my offers as had higher offers previously.
Absence has worked.

I received the same offer; I've only been spending $50-80 when I shop at coles the past couple of months, but there's a few big spends for gift cards in my transaction history too that may have influenced a relatively high weekly spend this offer. Also, I think I've achieved 4x100 in the past couple of years when offered, so maybe just encouraging me to go back to that spend level.

My offer is 4 x $50 for 10,000 points. I never go over $55 (per shop) and the offer never increases. I can do multiple shops at the same time, if necessary, but each is limited to approx $50.
 
Mine - Spend $100 for 4 weeks/10K
Husband - Spend $80 for 4 weeks/10K

Just going to do his offer, token purchases of bonused products on my account. I need to nudge them down more.
 
1x $60/wk for 4wks = 10,000pts
1x $70/wk for 4wks = 10,000pts
1x $80/wk for 4wks = 10,000pts

All accounts have bought plenty of gift cards recently. Only difference is the two higher spend targets have completed recent 4wk offers for lower amounts.
 
$100 per wk for 4wks = 10,000pts +
$30 of Cadbury for 1,000 pts +
30x points for 1st Coles online shop

will likely stack these three
 
Mine was 20k/$180x4 or 10k/$130x4. Still a few weeks to go before the Flybuys algorithm to work out I’m a cheapskate.
