Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

[ff-jr]

$50 x4 weeks for 10k here. I'm a basket shopper (single, no dependents) so it's quite easy to hit this. Last cycle was also $50, the one before was $40.

Stacking with a 2k for single $50 transaction offer. I'm also getting weekly offers for 500 points with $40 spend - these seem to only be available through the app.

I also have an offer for 3k bonus points for $100 spend online (first online shop only). I'm weary of doing this as it will probably trigger an increase in the 4 week offers. I tend to keep my basket close to the qualifying spend and not scan for other transactions during the week.

Got this on 1 of my accounts.

Not sure I see the attraction. The bonus points awarded are offset by the $5 activation fee. So you're paying $100 for $100.

I copped the same promotion. Hard to see the value in it. Never paid attention but do you earn status credits with gift card purchases? I guess someone chasing the credits could grab 10 and use them for general spend.

worthwhile with an Amex Plat Edge IMO (especially if you are local champion)

for a $100 card
1,105 FB
315 (420 if LC) Amex MR

I have not received sc for gc purchases but I have only ever bought one in a month so it is not always easy to tell.

And they've now added the sweetener of another 2,000 bonus points this weekend for $110 spend.

Too big a stretch for little reward.

Flybuys must have have poached some employees from Woolworths.

New offer is 2,000 bonus points for $120 spend. I have not spent anything at Coles and offers have gone from $100 to $110 and now $120 again.

I'll go and spend $10-$15. Don't think they'll get the hint.

Received a 10x points eBay offer. Stack that with a VFF mall purchase (and taking into account only transferring from FB to VFF during bonus 15% promos) and that's 6 VFF ponts/$.

 

[AisleSeat]

First Choice offer

750 points for $40 spend plus a bonus 1000 points if spending $30 on wine.

1750 for $40. Not bad

...Not sure I see the attraction....

I'm guessing that's because you got rid of your Amexes. An extra 3 SQ points/$ over and above what you can get elsewhere is pretty good

This weeks Guess the promotion

 

[Nathant123]

Week 1 of 4 completed for 10k points. Stacked a bunch of docket and in-app coupons to cop an extra 10k points for ~$151 worth of groceries. Hoping for an ebay promo as well as I have a few things I need to purchase.

received a similar one,

1000 points for $30 spend, plus an extra 1000 for spending $30 on wine

But you'd get the same points by spending directly at Coles and not needing to actually buy the gift cards?

The CGMCs can be spent almost anywhere

 

[Becky B]

The CGMCs can be spent almost anywhere

Yes, I use them to pay anywhere where Amex is not accepted ( rates, rego etc. )

Is that a targetted offer?

Is that a targetted offer?

Afraid so-I had 3 quick emails for various family members so initially thought otherwise

 

[QF WP]

They sent me a cheeky spend $100 for 2K bonus points earlier this week (but with a limited mid week date range)- their system would have known I've already met Week 1 on my $80/week for 4 offer



but I chose not to bite. Instead I did a $60 shop for work (staff amenities) and secured a "triple points offer" on the docket valid until 4 September (nicely falls within my Week 2 requirement). Love playing the game.

 

[Nathant123]

How are people using the Coles gift MasterCards to pay for rego, insurance, etc? I thought you need to pay the entire amount at once?
