Last months status credits for shopping at Coles?

[Flyinfish]

A bit off topic but have people received last months status credits for shopping at Coles? They have usually arrived by now, nothing for me.

You are reading into the delay in posting way too much, as you can see by the thread it has occurred previously. Velocity can hardly afford to lose a partner at this time (I.e purchased points = income).

As for your comment on who is going to swipe, your assumption is that everyone is equally engaged in the program and activates all the offers etc. In reality that isn’t the case. No different to how QFF has 10m members and not all of them are equally active within the program.

No I'm not doing anything of the kind. I clearly stated that I know that my own experience is obviously not representative of all flybuys members.

I do however believe that a good portion of flybuys members are savvy about such matters, the ones that aren't probably don't even bother with flybuys in the first place.

Regardless, I was asked why it wouldn't surprise me if flybuys disappeared. All I did was relate what I've noticed. They may or may not be writing on the wall. To be honest, not too much would shock me as the next 6 months unfolds. That's not to imply that I feel confidently about flybuys stability one way or another, I'm hardly in a position to have a concrete opinion on that. Just that it wouldn't surprise me.

Just to clarify, these are distinct and totally unrelated matters, and have nothing to do with the current environment.

Appreciate your reply, thanks a lot for the info and clarification

Only the 9th of the month but no Coles status credits have appeared.
Usually the 3rd or 4th of the month for me.

Same. Nothing yet and I had 10 coming my way.
Well, with the reasonable likelihood of Virgin and Velocity vanishing by August, status will be irrelevant.

My 10 credits for the month of March came through early this morning. Little late but no big deal really considering the current state of earth..

Ahhh dammit they were dated 31/3 and I set up pooling to my wife last week so they have gone to my account not hers

That is how it has always worked.

As mentioned above by our colleague, FB and VFF and VA are different entities.
Things can change, and like ebay now no longer a FB partner, you can still earn VFF points by buying from the VFF store, which is like ebay.
FB is owned/linked to Coles directly.
The relationship might go off, like FB and EY (Etihad), (they used to be partners), so FB and VFF (liaison/relationship) might be kaput in a few months, touch wood hope not, but but FB will always be there, unless Coles closes it down, or the company that runs it closes it down.
Maybe the time will come when we will see, that we won't be able to transfer FB points to VFF points, I guess that will be that the "it" ie, finality of the relationship, have to wait and see.

I got mine a few days ago,

Yeah, they've been quite late the last couple of months but mine arrived about a week ago.

 

[MH_fan]

I'm still waiting for mine...

 

[Obzerva]

I got mine, sort of, I got one status credit for $300+ worth of eligible shopping, haven’t looked at pursuing it yet

 

[MH_fan]

Mine finally came through. Only got 3 SCs but I'm sure I've spent a lot more than that last month...

 

[ferntree]

Anybody received their Coles status credits for July 2021? Anybody still waiting? I'm waiting for four which as it happens will (if they ever get here) will be enough to clinch my gold status for another year.

 

[twiningb]

Nope, still waiting for July.

 

[oz_mark]

They will arrive, eventually!

 

[ferntree]

They will arrive, eventually!

There speaks the eternal optimist

 

[oz_mark]

There speaks the eternal optimist

...and mine arrived overnight

 

[ferntree]

... so now have mine, as indeed you predicted, thanks!

 

[twiningb]

Mine showed up yesterday too.
