Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

[samh004]

Received the coupons too.

A hotel booking on webjet looks to be an easy one for me to use offering double points + 500 bonus points.

Weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7 were 2000 points for $50, week 9 is 3000 for $80 and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are triple points. I don't shop at Coles though.

My coupons are either 750 points for $240 spend or triple points! You do one or 2 big spends at coles and they penalise you! I will purposely do $1 spends at Coles to trigger lower bonus thresholds.

I just got a voucher for a discount Telstra wifi. I don't "do" Telstra. Weird offer.

I think they're partnered with Telstra, I have 3 vouchers for them.

The last time they sent me coupons for a fixed amount it was $120. I didn't make any large purchases on my card during the coupon period and finally they lowered the target to $60 for this round. I hope your target goes down for the next round of coupons. I very rarely spend $120 at Coles so I feel I am penalised sometimes when I do.

I am very happy, will be using the $10 off min $50 spend coupons.

My partner and I each received a set of coupons.

Do you each have a different Flybuys account or have a card each on the same account. I've got a card on my wife's account, but we only every receive one set of coupons. Week 1,3,5,7 are save $5 for $160 spend, week 9 is save $10 for $180. 2,4,6,8,10 are triple points.

Now go to the Telstra website and the same wifi router is offered with a free $40.00 recharge.

Looking, looking, looking at my vouchers. Nope... None there

In reply to asterix,

We each have a separate flybuys account. I was annoyed at Flybuys putting up the spending limit all the time to get the fuel vouchers and bonus points. I finally had a theory about how their targeting works and figured that with very very careful organisation and a little bit of extra planning and time we could get more rewards by having two separate accounts.

We started my partner's account off with very low spends and slowly increased them once the offers were good enough. If the target gets too high on my partner's account we stop using it and go back to my account. My theory is that in any given week, one of us will receive an offer that we can use. We redeem our points for flybuys dollars as soon as each account gets to 2000 points. The arrangement we have wouldn't work for all families, especially those saving points for travel rewards and other large point redemptions as you can't officially transfer points between accounts.

Mine alternate between $5 off for $50 spend and triple points. Haven't looked top closely at the other bits yet.

My offer, spend $60 for 500 bonus points at Coles from Friday 25 to Monday 28 January.
Partner's offer, spend $70 for 500 bonus points, rest as above.

We'll be using my partner's card for our shopping. We'll take the transaction total to just over $75 and use the weekend $5 off coupon to take the total down to just over $70. That will give us 70 base points, 500 bonus points for the weekend offer and 750 bonus points for spending just over $20 on lamb from our targeted offer that runs until 26 January.

 

[blackcat20]

500 points for $50 spend here.

Your offers sound very interesting. The 500 points bonus offers we received matched the current coupon targets. Your email offer and coupon are different by $20. I don't know how this type of targeting works. Perhaps your spending pattern varies more than us and they are trying to figure out your "sweet" spot for offers. If you do decide to spend over $100 occasionally, remember you can do the Tell Coles survey for an extra $5 off. The only thing is that you have to do the survey and have a receipt which is very recent (I can't remember if it says one or two days old).

Our offer is spend $150 for 500 bonus points at Coles from Friday 25 to Monday 28 January. I've signed up for a new Flybuys account, I didn't get an offer on that one, maybe because I haven't used the temporary card yet.

 

[rainbowgirl]

It takes a while for the Coles offers to flow through for new accounts. They need to get some sort of demographic base before they decide what to target the offers at. They may start with a multiple point offer just to see what you will spend given enough incentive. Good luck getting offers. These are just my speculations and theories. I have no idea how the system actually works.

In the early days of self-serve the machine would sometimes complain that you hadn't bagged the voucher, but they seem to have fixed that issue.

Got the 500 points for $50 but interesting offer from Liquorland,

when you spend over $10 in one transaction at Liquorland this Friday 25 January to Monday 28 January 2013.

Very interesting offer. 750 points is a pretty good return for only spending $10. If I'd received it, then I might actually go into a liquorland to see what they actually sell including both alcohol and non alcohol products just to see if there was anything I could get for stock or for a gift for a friend.

I used to get heaps of liquorland offers even though I'd only made one purchase in there but I haven't had them for ages now.
