Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

[prozac]

What is the current thinking on the best way to train the bot to reduce spend? Am away for 6 weeks and the offers are getting higher not lower so want to start training it again when I get home

I have not signed up to 2 x 4 week spends ($140 each time) and various single spend offers (5200 for $130/140) and to date it has not made any impact on the bot at all. I have shopped maybe once a month in that period. I am feeling ignored.
Also I cancelled the coles plus membership I've had just 2 months b/c it did not result in any additional bonuses and I was struggling to make back the $7 monthly cost.

5,200 bonus points when you spend $130 in one transaction in-store or online at Coles - spend Wed-Fri this week

Similar here. I'm hoping to get a similar offer on Thursday for Fri-Sun and then stack them. But from memory the first offer was Tue-Thur, so maybe not a thing anymore.

Does not signing up help? I always sign up, even if I intend to ignore. My theory is they know I know about the offer, but it is not enough to entice me, so they should lower it next time.

6,400 for $160 Wed-Fri on an account not used for a few weeks
2,000 for $120 Wed-Fri This was on the account just finished week 4 last week for 10K

I'll do both offers

FWIW I do too. I think it still requires a few weeks of low spending for the algorithm to take the hint regardless...

5000 for $110 spend.

Have not touched those Woolworths 10% offers this month might need to cancel the subscription! Keep them coming Coles!

Yeah I've cancelled whatever Woolies subscriptions I have with the upcoming price increase.

Woolworths want me to spend $220 this week for 500 points. Spend half that and get ten times more points at Coles. Tough choice!

Woolworths are only giving out generous offers once every few months. I’d rather they scrap the 10% then and reinvest back into point offers.

Just finished a 4 x 60 for 10000 and a 4 x 70 for 10000 and offered 4800 for $120 so will probably pass

 

[Saab34]

If you are with CommBank check Yello on the app for a spend and cash back offer to stack also.

 

[Tiki]

2000/$130 one transaction. Pass

 

[ultrakaos]

I received spend $100, get $20 off via email and my Flybuy account received spend $160 get 9,600 bonus points.

Coles really want my business!

 

[Saab34]

Geez. Second one in a week, back half of the week spend $100 and get 5000.

Crazy stuff not sure what is going on here. My velocity point balance has been growing quite healthy lately!

 

[SYD]

$110 / 4400

Shouldn’t be too hard.

 

[MELso]

Still (not) tempting me with $130 for 2000 points. Looks like I have a bit of work to do to get the algorithm back under control...

 

[Beer_budget]

Spend $180 for 2500. Just completed $180/7200, so I will be letting that go through to the keeper.

 

[transpactraveller]

I seem to have 2 identical bonus point offers activated now, one expires today and the other in 4 days. Would I get both with 1 spend, or would it use one of them and leave the other for another spend?

Mine is the same but one ends today and the second offer does not start until tomorrow, and runs until Tue.

The second one may not start before the first expires - I'd double check the t&cs.

Oh interesting, I didn't realise you could activate something that doesn't actually become activated until a future date. A little misleading for those (like me) who don't read the fine print! They could probably make that a bit clearer with "Activates from tomorrow" or something like that.
