7% and 8% values, but given I've spread the load across 6 it's looking pretty good. An appallingly low # of points on spend where almost all points were bonus.
 
Just the 2 FB cards in our household -
Card A was top 10% across Aus/State/Suburb
Card B was top 3% across Aus/State/Suburb

But... much happier with Card A: only 8% of total points earn was regular points; the rest were all bonus.

On Card B though a third of the points were regular points. Some of the regular points on Card B are from spend on a linked Coles MC, but clearly I need to do a better job of managing spend and choosing promo selections wisely in 2022!

I'd add more cards, but my primary interest is collecting Velocity points and there's only 2 adults in our household to credit to. The kids are too young to have FB cards.

Take the kids for a quick ride in Michael J Fox's car and adjust age to that :) , have them linked to their (presumably setup) Velocity accounts. Set family pooling (if not already done so) in Velocity and away you go.

I always assumed there was an FB/VFF age cross-check or failing that some system that flags they have had more than 2 years of (age 16-18) FB transfers. But then I can be naive sometimes
 
Me
  • Top 2% Australia wide
  • Top 2% in NSW
  • Top 3% in Darlinghurst - who knew we were so competitive - and how are they getting that many Flybuys at Coles Kings Cross?
  • 130k points - all sent to Velocity - 10k more than 2021 (lockdowns are good for earning).
Partner
  • Top 2% in Australia
  • Top 2% in NSW
  • Top 2% in Darlinghurst
  • 145k points - all sent to Velocity - 44K more points than 2020.

Top 1% in suburb, state and Australia.

I’m actually very surprised at how many points they listed that I apparently earned. It feels a bit inflated.

I haven't seen issues.
 
174,264 pts. 34,533 standard 139,731 bonus pts.

Top 1% in suburb
Top 1% in NSW
Top 1% in Australia.
 
Well there are lots of FB members that earn very little. My 8000 points got me -
top 29% in suburb
top 31% in QLD.
top 31% in Australia.
 
Top 1% here also.

I haven't been doing anything special - just making the most of the bonus point offers at Coles, which is where the true value lies in flybuys.

This pretty much says it all:
