Used to be 2,000 per $100 visa. Big downgrade!

It was actually 2,000 points on $100 Mastercard gift cards. I only mention that because the purchase fee on the Mastercards is just $5.00 whereas with the Visas it's $5.95 so not only have they halved the bonus points, they're charging us more as well!

Hopeless

Paying $5.95 for $10+ in value.
Not as beneficial as previously, but wouldn't say losing.

Agree.

Fairly easy to make this work for you.

The game is always changing. Complaining about it wont achieve anything.

How do you figure $10+ in value?

Happy to hear via PM if there’s a method at play that’s subject to fight club.

Likewise - my # - $5.95 = 500 VFF => 1.2c/pt. ???? (=$5 cash off shop )

 

[MooTime]

Well who uses FBs for cash off a shop?

No value there.

I have seen some people value their FF points at 2 or 3 or 4c each.

True, although voting with the feet just might.

Are these as Deft friendly as the Mastercards?

 

[VantageXL]

True, although voting with the feet just might.

Exactly. Let's not forget that they have unsuccessfully tried this before: in March and April last year they reduced the bonus on $100 Mastercard gift cards to 1,000 and 1,500 points, respectively, before returning to 2,000 or more for all subsequent offers in 2024.

In the last few years Coles have run over 70 much better promotions (e.g. 10% off, 2,000 points etc) on Visa/Mastercard gift cards so somehow I doubt that this is suddenly the best that they can do.

Are these as Deft friendly as the Mastercards?

Apparently it hasn't been possible since October 2024.

 

[Rich]

I have seen some people value their FF points at 2 or 3 or 4c each.

Regardless, 1 cent per point is my valuation reference so I wouldn't go for this offer, but understand perfectly why others would.

People buying the lower value cards, like this one, will mean they continue to offer it

But I agree with your point..

 

[lovestotravel]

1000 FB = 500 VFF = 322 Krisflyer = $11 of value when redeemed for Singapore J long-haul.

Given the purchase price of $5.95 there is still some value (as above) but I wouldn't be wasting my time for this one

Credit cards points and transfer bonus might help the numbers seem less pedestrian.

If there were cards in the store I shop at then I'd probably buy them but I wouldn't hunt for them like I otherwise would for a better offer.
