Took quite some time for offers to come back down to reality. Think about 6-8 weeks.

My account spend $60 x 4 weeks for 10000 bonus points

Wife spend $50 x 4 weeks for 10000 bonus points

Should do us nicely through to Christmas and 4 week Thailand trip.
 
Coles back to their BS again with four weeks offer.
Just got email saying make sure you shop for week 2.
I have shopped 15/11 and 22/11.
Should be 2 weeks down, not one.

No. Check your dates.

Week 1 = 15/11 to 24/11
Week 2 = 25/11 to 1/12
Week 3 = 2/12 to 8/12
Week 4 = 9/12/ to 15/12

It's quite usual that the first week includes extra time and this is clearly stated.

Murphy has been programming the Flybuys offers for us.

Nothing for months and now all three accounts have 4x$50 for 10k and we’re away for two of the four weeks.
Careless of you!

We had a similar issue a while back but flew out on Monday afternoon (so did the 2x $50 shops for Wk 2 then) and, (as luck and reward seat Gods would have it) arrived back on the Sunday morning for the end of Wk 3.

Worst case - do you have a relative/friend you can owe a favour to...

This time, the offer finished the week after we left, so we called in a favour.

One week on one account, sure.

But it would have required two weeks and I’d want all three accounts. 🤣

FIL is a patient man, but not that patient.

Main factor is the nearest Coles is a bit far from the relatives.
