ok here is my 2c,
ive generally avoided fly buys in the past because I couldnt believe how bad the program was, expiring points $5 for 1 or 2 points
but now its $1 per 1 point, it makes it far better,
HOWEVER, i find that the coles petrol is ALWAYS 1-2c more expensive then the woolworths petrol, so I dont refuel at coles petrol
that being said, I have found that prices at coles and woolworths shopping are generally the same BUT the specials at coles seem to be far better and more frequent
due to this change, I will now use my fly buys card to get $1 per 1 point, plus my cba amex to get 1.5 QFF per $1
I heard that you need 80,000 points to get from sydney to melb via flybuys, which makes it ridiculous, but at least its on top of my 1.5QFF per $1,
so I wont be expecting anything decent, but maybe in a few years, Icould afford a trip overseas. but no doubt by then the redeem required will go up as per usual of these programs
