| Why Australians Should Stop Ignoring SkyTeam |
If you're an Australian-based frequent flyer, you're probably a member of Qantas Frequent Flyer and Virgin Australia Velocity. You might even be a member of a Star Alliance frequent flyer program, such as Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer or Air New Zealand Airpoints. But most Australians completely overlook SkyTeam airlines and their frequent flyer programs.
SkyTeam is the forgotten alliance in Australia. But this can actually work to your advantage! |

Upcoming Webinar:
Supercharge Your Points at the Supermarket |
| |

|
Think supermarket loyalty programs like Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards aren't worth it? Think again!
It's easier than you might expect to earn tens of thousands of points at the supermarket without spending a fortune on groceries! The trick is to take advantage of targeted bonus offers. But the number and quality of the offers you receive will depend on how well you game the system. Do it right and you could earn 50x more points at the checkout!!
At first glance, earning 1 Flybuys point for every $1 spent at Coles is not a great deal. But why spend $2,000 to earn 2,000 points, when you can spend just $200 and earn over 10,000 Flybuys points?
Our upcoming webinar on 18 June will show you how anyone - including you - can supercharge the points they earn at the supermarket. As well as how to game the Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards loyalty programs, we'll show you how to maximise your credit card points on everyday purchases. You could be missing out on tens of thousands of points!
