Fly Buys Docket Deals

[gibspmuh]

I was just in Coles last night and at the bottom of the receipt there was a couple of extra deals for earning bonus Fly Buys points (one was 300 points for $25 worth of meat or fish and the other was for triple Fly Buys points). I noticed the following link provides more details - https://www.flybuys.com.au/flybuys/content/Specials/docket_deals_exclusive_nov2011/index.html - looks like it will run up until Christmas at this point. Given I end up in a Coles a few times a week it'll be interesting to see what other offers appear.

Thanks for posting. I tend to never look at my docket, so will keep an eye on it from now on.

Yeah i bought $30 worth at Coles last night to get the 8cents/Lt fuel offer and saw two extra flybuys offers at the bottom of the receipt as well, never seen them before and wondered if i had been missing something as most of my shopping is at Woolies these days... Can't remember the exact offers...

I bought only a litre of milk and was surprise to find 30cm of receipt with the offers. Must swipe Ur fly buys card to get these offers.

Thanks for the heads up, I checked my receipt.

One Flybuys offer - triple flybuys points for next transaction (23-29 Nov) (Coles/Bi-Lo/Pick'n'Pay supermarkets - excludes Coles online),

Conditions are that Docket Deals are not transferrable.

I've got triple points on a transaction of my choice, and 300 points for $25 meat. Both to be used within a week.

Unfortunately, apart from having several times exchanged flybuys points for some gift vouchers, are these points really worth anything???

Hmm, was ther etalk that Coles was going to revamp Flybuys to make it a bit more marketable, has this happened??

Comparing all these different card and retail loyalty programs, different frequent flyer programs, whether to convert to fuel savings or points etc can really start doing your head in after a bit!!!

They are trying.

And VA are desperately trying to get them to sign on the dotted line too!

I received these two offers last week...

I've got triple points on a transaction of my choice, and 300 points for $25 meat. Both to be used within a week.

Does anyone know if they can be redeemed on the same transaction? I can't find any reference to Docket Deals in the T&Cs. I think I'll do a $30 transaction for meat, then do the rest separately and hand in the triple points voucher, but would be interested to know.

Used the $25 "Fresh Meat/Seafood" offer this morning. 1¢ was charged as "SPEND $25 MEAT & SEA 1EACH" line item for the privilege but reimbursed as a "Loyalty Discount" on 'settlement'.

Oh, there's no GST on the 1¢ ether ...

It's a tricky thing as POS systems sometimes don't allow transactions of 0c.

Latest two are $5 off after spending $100 in one transaction, and 250 points for $10 worth of fresh fruit and veg, both 30Nov->6Dec.

I made this purchase as two transactions - one of just over $30 of meat for the 300 bonus points, then a separate transaction which happened to be just over $100 for the triple fly buys points. Both had the 1c on / 1c discount line items.
I didn't receive any new Docket Deals - maybe they don't give you new deals if you are redeeming previous deals?

Not 100% sure about this, but there appears to be a "cooldown" period of a few days after you get given some. As someone mentioned earlier, you could buy 1 item and get them, but you won't be able to just go in and buy another single item to get another set of docket deals, I presume to avoid exploitation. Seem to have to wait a day or 2 before it will give you another 2 dockets. This is my experience as someone who seems to wind up going past almost every day, I don't plan my shopping trips very well lol

I got a great one today...

Buy any peaches and get 250 points.

Here's to hoping that coles will continue with more of those docket rewards. i got quite a few bonus points out of it. certainly made FB seem more competitive with EDR.

I had a few docket deals I was able to make use of. Some saved me money, others gave me lots of points. The best one was the 5X points just before Christmas. I also got a triple points one and a save $5 by spending over $100. I didn't use all of the vouchers. I got a docket for spending a certain amount on fresh meat with bonus points attached but I didn't use it. The only docket deals I didn't like were the alcohol ones. I've only made one purchase of alcohol this year and this seems to have triggered lots of alcohol docket deals.

I hope they run this type of promotion again. It's a bit of a pain having to keep track of all the vouchers but it's good to get lots of points. I didn't like having to wait 3-4 weeks for them but luckily all the bonus points have been added now without me having to chase them up.
