Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

We've not had the 4 weekly offer for quite some time but just as we've come back to Australia arrives a 4 week offer.

Spend 4 x $60/week for 10,000 bonus points.

Thank you very much.
 
Did anybody who got the 4 week offer from early March then get the April 4 week offer?

Managed to use a couple of 2,000 point Wed-Fri shop offers with the March 4 week offer - who knew Friday night shopping was so busy?

Yes, I've had a few 4 week promotions in a row, with the eligible spend slowly increasing.

One of the cygnets has. Both 4 weeks * $50. On the current round we have managed to stack week 1 with a spend $50 for 1k and spend $50 for 2k and week 2 with a spend $50 for 2k. Assuming no further stackable offers this offer is on track to yield 15k ($75) of boni for $200 of spend. All spend of course undertaken with discounted Coles Myer GCs purchased through Amex using FC, Myer, etc. offers. :)
 
Despite few recent shops, my 2000 bonus points target jumped to $100 this week! Hoping the next 4 week promo doesn't do the same.
 
2 weeks after finishing the last one, just got the Spend 4 x $60/week for 10,000 bonus points offer again.

I also have at least my third Berocca offer this year! I need to drink more!
6-19 feb was 1100 points
5-18 Apr was 1250 points
23 May - 5 Jun is 1400 points
 
My new offer is spend $120 x 4 for 10000 points. I can't do this - don't know how the algorithms work, however there was an offer to spend $120 to get 2000 points which I did as I needed some extra stuff, so may have had an effect. I want the $60 per week offer!

A new record for Mrs H:

Yeah, nah.
Good grief!!

Do not spend much per shop at Coles for the foreseeable future. Scan much smaller amounts (use self-checkouts perhaps) on the card (say low $30s) and then put the rest of your spend through WITHOUT FlyBuys card scanning. Perhaps miss a week of any scan at all.

This may end up taking 6 to 8 weeks before the spend amount drops back to more likeable limits.

The few points you lose on the non-scanning are a tiny amount of a low spend 10K 4-weeks $50 spend offer. Best return on investment going!
 
2x Continental branded tyres at MyCar = 10,000pts
4x Continental branded tyres at MrCar = 20,000pts

Actually got this same offer twice on the one account and assume it would stack which would make it a pretty good deal. Cars are going to a service the week before the offer expires but not sure I need new tyres.

Don't forget to use a different CC to the usual one you use at Coles. Once a card is linked via use to your flybuys number they still track you.

Hopefully though you can find access to buying Coles eGiftcards at a 3 or 4% discount so you never use a CC directly at Coles.

I've managed to score 4 week x $50 offers for 3 months in a row, commencing on March 3rd, April 14th and May 26th.

The catalyst to receiving these offers was that in February the frequency of my visits to Coles substantially increased when I returned to the office more regularly as there is a store very close to my building, and I tend to duck in there to pick up one or two items nearly every office day.

I've done a larger shop at my local store each week when I've had the offer available to me, but after the end of each four week block, my Coles shopping has to dropped back off to only the lunch time incidentals as mentioned above, and the odd trip to my local store if there's a particular item that's half price, as WW is more convenient where I live.

Hope my luck doesn't run out but surely it will come to an end some time soon.
