[benjy]

I got some more targeted offers today, strange!

5 x Bonus Points for every Liquorland Online transaction by 27 July - Free Delivery if I purchase two selected wine bundles
Buy 1 x Devondale Butter Blend range for 150 points - valid until 6th August
Buy 2 x Golden Circle Squeezee Pouches for 150 points
Buy any Coles branded sour cream, cream or custard for 50 points.

Hoping I have some vouchers in my letterbox when I get home tonight

I spent $60 at Coles today and got a $10 voucher plus 2285 points (combining base points and bonus points)

The points haul was made up of 60 base points
1000 point docket deal for spending $60
500 point week 1 coupon for spending $60
100 points for email fruit and veg offer
100 points for for fruit and veg coupon
250 points for frozen coupon
75 points for milk coupon
100 points for deli coupon
100 points for bakery coupon

After calculating things carefully I also decided to take up the Coles Express offer of 500 points for 30 litres of petrol combined with a 5x points coupon for all purchases at Coles Express.

Where from? Flybuys or Coles?

The FlyBuys ones that include a sheet of Coles offers. Double points/Spend $50 for 750 points alternating IFRC.

That's an interesting set of offers. Last time I got coupons alternating between spend $60 for 750 points and double points and now I have spend $60 for 500 points and triple points. I'm lucky that they didn't increase the target but I guess I still spent too much and that's why they reduced the points bonus from 750 to 500. I like the fact that they offered triple points instead of double points. I guess they saw I wasn't spending much on the multiple point weeks.

Is IFRC meant to mean "if I remember correctly"?

Ahh yes, 'IIRC' might have been a better abbreviation. And I don't have the vouchers with me, so may be out by a bit.

I will blame that on the altitude.

I really hope I get some vouchers in the mail from flybuys too! No sign of any yet - I wonder if it's just random or if everyone gets them......guess I'll keep a look out next week

 

[Captain Halliday]

Sadly I had relatives visit for a couple of weeks and my weekly spend spiked. My voucher sheet not requires a $180 spend for couple points or 1000 pts. Unlikely to hit the target. Sadly about the vouchers too - not just the relatives!

Apologies to JessicaTam for my deliberately poor grammar.

No vouchers for me at the moment, by the sounds of it vouchers were delivered this week so unless you live in the outback I don't think we'll be getting this round of vouchers

 

[rainbowgirl]

The week 1 vouchers must be used by August 3 so effectively the members who got them this week have 2 weeks to use them. This means that Flybuys are allowing 2 weeks for the postage and delivery of the vouchers. I remember that one set of vouchers I received sometime in the last few years actually came much later than everyone else I heard about. Luckily I was still able to use the week 1 voucher in that cycle. Your coupons/vouchers might arrive next week and you'll still have a chance to use all of them.

Yay got my coupons - Happy Now!! I got 'spend $90 and get $5' off alternating with 'triple points'. Also all the other coupons for various items/points.

My coupons arrived today. 500 points for $60 shop at Coles alternating with triple points in the even weeks. I also got some product based offers for Coles and Coles Express. I'll be spending $60 at Coles on Friday, including a restock of the freezer with the Frozen goods coupon I've been waiting for. I'll advise on Friday afternoon how many offers I was able to take up in one transaction. My early estimates are for over 2000 points plus a $10 voucher I can use next week.

Apparently you need to keep an eye on the expiry of reward vouchers. Popped into Coles today after being away all weekend, only to find the voucher I earned last weekend had already expired! Even the employee processing my shopping was not impressed, and told me to contact Flybuys to complain. A 7 day validity isn't a great way to reward your customers.

 

[rainbowgirl]

I agree that 7 days isn't long enough. I usually do a small midweek shop for bread and deli goods so I can use the $10 voucher that I usually get. The vouchers used to have a 10 day expiry but the expiry period was shortened recently. The print is very tiny and hard for people to read and keep track of. I think Flybuys need to make the offer email clearer and put in large print in the body of the email that the vouchers expire in "X" days and that the total of the voucher is counted as a "discount" and reduces the amount of the next transaction when it comes to qualifying for offers.

Thanks for your feedback, which we'll pass on to the wider team here - it's not our intention to disappoint flybuys members after qualifying for these offers and we're sorry you didn't get to take advantage this time around.

I just didn't have time or the need to shop during the week, and being away over the weekend capped it off. I've left a message on their Facebook so will be interesting to see what they say. I don't really enjoy throwing away $20.

Had a bonus offer of points if I bought more than 30L of fuel, picked up a Hertz 24x7 car for a few hours on Friday and had to put 40 odd litre of fuel in using the supplied fuel card, bonus, as they took my flybuys!

 

[drron]

My vouchers arrived today.Spend $70 for 500 bonus points alternating with triple points.
Will be a big shop at the end of this week plus a couple of product bonus vouchers + a double points docket deal should give a reasonable haul of points.

 

[KatFlyer]

Hey all - I'm looking at getting a credit card purely for rewards - pay off before the interest is due, and use for everyday shopping etc. Anyone got any opinins/advice on what card/where from? ........ Sorry, not sure if I should have started a new thread for this?? Sorry for being such a painful newby

 

[Jeffrey O'Neill]

My new vouchers are $5 for $80 spend and triple points - better thant he last round which was just double points and a much higher level of spending.

I do wish coles would let me opt out of these vouchers and just get everything via email. That way i don't have tio remember to use the voucher or which option I've got coming up.
