After many years of tracking and using the bonus offers successfully, I decided to just shop when I needed at Coles and forget about FlyBuys but with automatic transfers to Velocity, and travel with partner airlines to Europe I have managed to ‘refresh’ my points level. I have tried to explain to my children about the system but they are either too lazy or too wealthy, but they always ask how we can fly business class on all out international flights. Coles and FB paid for my last Etihad return flight to the Middle East, and credit cards for my last Qantas return to Singapore. It is not rocket science if you make a habit of ho you shop.
 
But those are horrible. The first would be tedious and the second? Oh, come on, I need to eat before May.
You'll make the decison about whether you want frequent and generous offers or not. Just as others make the decision as to whether they will fly business class or not because they've made the effort to collect frequent flyer points. Effort is required and most people just aren't prepared to do it, although they'll complain very quickly. But it's not correct to indictate that the path to achieving this is obfuscated. It's clearly laid out for you.

What would be your weekly shop?
 
Mines $50 pw x 4 wks

When it starts creeping up I switch to Woolies & collecting QF, though the offers I get from Woolies suck.

Last WR offer I got was $60 x 4, 3500 points - Firm No
 
4 accounts:
4x$50
4x$50
4x$80
4x$100

Might do the first 2 :) ...only problem is that will be OS the last week...might have to phone a friend!

If your friend can't do it, you can do a C&C order (I'm in Melbourne). I can pick the items up and keep them of course. That way you still can do week 2-4 when you return.
 
It's been a while but both accounts received the same offer

Spend $50/week x 4 weeks for 10000 bonus points

Should be doable on both and they finish a week before we're off to Thailand. Perfect timing.
