Latest Flybuys Offer

Good grief, if it needs this much explaination (and posts), then maybe it would be easier to do a flat 15% bonus transfer offer as per previous offers?
 
Sorry for the lack of clarity. In response to your queries
  1. No activation is required
  2. Applies to any shop 14-31 October at the nominated brands, irrespective of when the transfer is done
  3. Yes any shop from 14 October
  4. Applies to any transfers in the period 14-31 October. If more than one transfer during that period – the total transferred will be added up and the rate of 200 Velocity points per 2,000 flybuys points transferred will apply
Hope this helps.
Cool. Thanks for clarifying.
 
Is this a targeted offer? I didn’t receive an email. It also doesn’t appear on my offers page. My partners account has the offer. @flybuys
 
_Flyer, I only received this offer, not other household members.
 
Weird targetting. It's on the homepage of the flybuys site, even when not logged in.
 
This has to be one of the most complicated and poorly worded offers. I assume a lot are going to transfer to Velocity and think they are eligible to later find out this is targeted.
 
I don't really understand how this can be targetted? It's on the front page of the website, clearly being promoted. And there's also no activation required? And when visiting the link on the front page I get a big green tick with "your account is already linked to Velocity"

You are right, and our advice above was wrong - while the email was targeted, yes the offer is available to all linked members. Sorry for the misleading information.

Yes, they do.
I hope you are right on this one. The offer states coles and coles online. It does not state 1st choice or liquorland online and both theses entities have different company names that come through on the transaction when you use the online vs in store. The online version will have “direct” at the end of the entity name eg Liquorland Direct, where as in store does not. I am nervous about taking this advice when both coles online and in store entities are listed, but for the liquor options, only the in store options are specifically listed.

There was a similar offer back in August as per the following email I received on 6 Aug 2019:

"The Bonus Points offer is not transferrable, and is only available to the named recipient of this email and/or members that receive the offer in the flybuys app and/or members that receive the offer on the flybuys website. For the promotional period Tue 6 Aug to Sat 31 Aug 2019, linked households will receive 100 bonus Velocity Points for every 2,000 flybuys points transferred to Velocity Frequent Flyer Points."

So I made 7 x transfers during the promotional period where I transferred 2000 FB points six times (12000 FB points total), and another transfer of 16,000 FB points in one go. I was expecting I will get 1400 bonus velocity points as per the offer (=100 x 28000/2000), unfortunately I only received 700 (=7 x 100) bonus points which I think was based on the 7 transfers I made. The single transfer of 16,000 FB points only got me 100 bonus velocity points. When I called FB call centre, I was told I need to contact velocity call centre as the bonus points are offered in Velocity points!

When I compare the T&Cs of the latest offer and the August offer, the wording is very similar other than of course the latest offer has 100, 150 and 200 bonus tiers. My question is to get bonus Velocity points per 2000 FB points transferred, do I need to transfer points in blocks of 2000 FB points each?
 
>My question is to get bonus Velocity points per 2000 FB points transferred, do I need to transfer points in blocks of 2000 FB points each?

I'm going to do the transfers in 2000 point FB blocks. It'll only take a few minutes more of my time than doing them all at once and no matter how you read the T&Cs doing them in 2000 point blocks will get the bonus. Certainly worth it to avoid wasting time chasing missing points.
 
So all I need to do is make 3 $10 at the listed partners and then transfer my 100K plus points before the end of Oct. Is it as simple as that if accounts are linked?

I actually do this during the regular 15% promos. Because you get the half-point round-up benefit on every individual transfer. I might come out as many as five points ahead over a bulk transfer!

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to hear of your experience with the August promotion. If you can share your member number via private message we'll investigate. We can confirm that the current promotion, and the August promotion, should operate on the basis of a benefit per 2,000 points transferred, not on the basis of the number of transfers done.

Looks like exactly same thing has happened for me, I transferred over 12,000 FB points in one transaction and only received 100 points bonus instead of 600.
