Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

[burmans]

From memory, this happens for a few weeks pre- and post- Christmas every year.

Marketing team on holiday?

From memory, this happens for a few weeks pre- and post- Christmas every year.

I just did a $90 shop and split it into 2 to educate the algo when it comes back from holidays. Paid one with regular CC and FB card. 2nd no FB card and a CC I never use at supermarkets.

Yes, well seems strangely dry
Perhaps this Friday will be the beginning of another four weeker

Not a bad year 250,000 points

According to my 2025 Wrap Up I too am in the top 0.1%, and I transferred every one of my points to Velocity … yet I’m only in the “top 20%” of Velocity transfers! Am I missing a secret way of earning more Velocity points from FlyBuys, or is it simply that “top 20%” is the highest tier there is?

Fascinated to find myself in the top 9% despite only joining FlyBuys in late August. Then again, I suspect a majority of people just swipe the card at the shops and assume FB/EDR is a waste of time that never gets you enough points for anything.

Yep, if you use the app and activate the bonus point offers it more-or-less goes without saying that you’ll be in the top 10%.

According to my 2025 Wrap Up, well over 90% of the points I earned were bonus points.

I hadn't noticed that. I did better than I thought with points accrual. The bulk of my points came from bonus

Some may I guess got the Coles Mastercard that comes 30 or 40k bonus signup FBs to boost their FB tallies.

Some prob flew a lot on VA & received many velocity points this way.

About the same on my other account as well

 

[mrsterryn]

Woohoo finally it came down
$50 a week X 4 weeks for the 10,000
Other account
$60 a week X 4 weeks for the 10,000

 

[Tiki]

They were really late today after 6pm. Both accounts $50x 4 for 10k. Now I have a dilemma because Woolies offered $90 x 4 for 10k. I can't do all 3.

 

[lovestotravel]

$180 x 4 week for 20,000
$90 x 4 weeks for 10,000 on the 2nd account

Will do both, as well as the woolies offer so about $400 per week

They were really late today after 6pm. Both accounts $50x 4 for 10k. Now I have a dilemma because Woolies offered $90 x 4 for 10k. I can't do all 3.

Cleaning products.........

Our Woolies one was just those random ones but no four week ones. I do like the Woolworths cause you can do over the week but with a $50 and a $60 we can do those as the two shops for the week


@lovestotravel we may have a few too many bottles of soap that may last till end of 2027 lol , bought on previous sales

 

[MooTime]

Yes yes again, happy camper.
$210 x 4 week for 20kFBs
Or
$160 x 4 weeks for 10k FBs

After grabbing bonus FBs in the $100 MasterCard current offer this week, it's great guns on velocity points.

Still crickets at edr.

 

[Beer_budget]

$130 X 4 for 10k
$180 X 4 for 20k

Probably not going to manage to sustain 180/wk for a month, when it's just the two of us (in an apartment, so storage constrained to boot). Good to be back in the game though.

 

[clifford]

Don't know why such an easy offer, but very welcome:
4X$70 for 10000 pts.

The Woolies alternative was 4x$260 for 22000 pts. They're dreamin....

 

[trendwhore]

$50 a week X 4 weeks for the 10,000

Same here, easy

Perhaps this Friday will be the beginning of another four weeker

And indeed it is. 50*4 on both accounts starting tomorrow with first week ending next Sunday, while woolies is 90*4 with first week ending this week.
Will start the woolies one this week, and see whether or not both are sustainable given plans over the next month. Certainly spend $190 in groceries, just don't know if I can be bothered planning intensely over the three weeks that overlap

 

[Major]

10,000 points for 4 x $110

No thank you
