    Spend $30 in store get $10 back, two times - in store only

    • kerfuffle on 03/12/2019 - 06:25

      Didn't get this and I have a DJs card. I live in Sydney though

      • vikvance on 03/12/2019 - 09:15

        Yeah, I'm annoyed too about not getting this offer on my DJs card in Sydney.

        Would have liked to use the offer at the Food Store in the Market Street store.

        • kerfuffle on 03/12/2019 - 09:22

          Too hard to separate the Foodhall terminals from the rest of the store. The Food Store in South Yarra just sells food and flowers and probably liquor too.

          Foodhall in Market Street isn’t the same as when I used to work there five years ago …

    • nightelves on 03/12/2019 - 06:32

      Wonder if they have giftcards down there.

      • kerfuffle on 03/12/2019 - 06:40

        Can’t see why they wouldn’t

      • htytony on 03/12/2019 - 07:04

        They sell gift card online as well

        • kerfuffle on 03/12/2019 - 07:25

          They meant for the David Jones Food Store …

          • nightelves on 03/12/2019 - 07:44

            @kerfuffle: So you mean it can only be used at the Food Store only?

            • kerfuffle on 03/12/2019 - 07:48

              @nightelves: Yeah, to try make you go there. I assume the promotion will be set up a la Vogue i.e. if you went to Chaddy DJs for example, you wouldn't get the credit

    • OpenHand on 03/12/2019 - 09:31

      Expensive and shite store anyway! Mostly just prepackaged junk.

  • linkii on 03/12/2019 - 07:25

    For those who used amex flight Centre offers before. Does it work with gift cards on this website?

    https://flightcentre.fctggiftcards.com/

    • paaj on 03/12/2019 - 07:56

      Yes you can buy gift cards, but I believe there is an Amex CC surcharge and flight centre don't price match any more so for me it costs more to book with them even with the Amex offer.

      • linkii on 03/12/2019 - 08:01

        Wait. They no longer price match?

        You just saved me from buying huns $ worth of flight centre gift cards.

          Wait. They no longer price match?

          They make up all sorts of excuses like you need to buy something else at "full price" before they'll discount flights.

          Really painful to deal with them.

          • Chewiebacca on 03/12/2019 - 09:53

            @salmon123: Had a similar experience, however calling up a different rep yielded better results, worth a try.

            • salmon123 on 03/12/2019 - 11:08
              -1

              @Chewiebacca:

              worth a try

              Not really worth it for me. What's the best case scenario? They agree to match the flights and you save $75 * number of amex cards … but then they tack on a exorbitant change fee (well in excess of what an online travel agent or airline directly charges) … save your self the hassle and book somewhere else.

      • ozzbargainer on 03/12/2019 - 08:12

        No surcharge if purchased online

        That was my experience using the flight centre gift cards I bought with the last Amex offer too. Won’t do it again as they are consistently far more expensive than booking direct for me!

      • amustafa on 03/12/2019 - 09:07

        Does this offer or the gift cards work for student flights? They still price match and are part of the flight centre group.

    Fight centre was $100 last year, now $75. I think AMEX are devaluing everything they do

    • googoogaga on 03/12/2019 - 08:42

      i think it is the marketing budget from the said companies

    • SydneySwan on 03/12/2019 - 08:47

      But you did have to spend $500 for that $100 credit.

      • knobbs on 03/12/2019 - 10:06

        Ahh thought it was $400 last time as well. Guess it's not that bad compared to most of the other offers that are going downhill

    • ozzbargainer on 03/12/2019 - 09:05

      20% last time and 18.75% now, not too bad

  • Turd on 03/12/2019 - 09:00

    I only got it on one set of cards.

    check the flight price before you use the flight center offer, I found all the flights I want to book work out to be the same after using amex offer. It’s just waste of time

  • BigBoy47 on 03/12/2019 - 10:02

    The Flight Centre Group credit doesn't seem to include StudentUniverse, which is listed as part of their group - anyone reckon this was intentional or just an oversight? Would be great since they actually have some decent flight deals on there.

  • edman on 03/12/2019 - 10:04

    For those of you wanting to buy Flight Centre gift cards, a word of warning, their system is a PITA. You do your booking online then you have to ring a number to actually apply the gift cards, using cards from the last deal it took me around 20 minutes just to make payment. Their excuse is that its due to the level of voucher fraud they've experienced. I won't buy again for this reason.

    • lilkid28 on 03/12/2019 - 13:31

      Just buy the gift cards in store then book them after?

      • edman on 03/12/2019 - 14:15

        There is a booking fee if you book instore, for flights it was around $20 per person, maybe even per leg.

        • lilkid28 on 03/12/2019 - 14:27

          Buy gift card In Store then redeem online or on phone..

            @lilkid28: thats what I'm talking about in my first comment. Give it a go, you will find out soon enough how painful it is.

    • sandshrew on 04/12/2019 - 01:34
      +2

      Second this. Attempted to make a booking on their website and was prompted to call the number when I tried to apply the gift card. They then proceeded to walk me through the booking all over again, and as I was flying with a low cost carrier had specific add ons I selected in my original booking, which they refused to mirror over the phone. They instead tried to sell me an all inclusive ticket.

      Had to go in store to sort it out. Never again

  • salmon123 on 03/12/2019 - 11:19

    Anyone get the Laithewaits wine people offer spend $150 get $50 back

    I also have a Virgin Wines spend $150, get $50 back. Virgin Wines and Laithwaites are the same company. I wonder if you'll get both, by making a single purchase…

    • SydneySwan on 03/12/2019 - 11:30

      Yes. I very much doubt you will get both credits from the one transaction but you have nothing to lose by trying.

      • salmon123 on 03/12/2019 - 11:38

        The multiple credits have worked in the past, with other promos like DJs statement credit and Vogue shopping night - a single transaction would trigger both.

        I have $100 to lose by trying, because I don't need wine … Laithwaites has a pretty bad rep on google reviews.

        The live chat on both websites shares the same session info, so I think it'll work.

        • SydneySwan on 03/12/2019 - 11:55

          Please try and report back then.

          • salmon123 on 03/12/2019 - 14:17

            @SydneySwan: LiveChat rep said they'll shop up as different merchants on my bank statement, so I'm going to give it a miss … especially because of their bad rep online. I might've rolled the dice if they had a better online rep.

    Universal Traveller has a price match (https://www.universaltraveller.com.au/best-price-promise), this is good for me as I'm looking at a Cathay pacific flight and they're more expensive than the airline.

    • paaj on 03/12/2019 - 15:46

      But can you use the FC gift cards there? I know it is part of the FC group but sometimes they can be PITA about these things

    Would hotel bookings through Flight Centre qualify?

    • SydneySwan on 03/12/2019 - 15:49

      I would imagine providing the spend is with FC (i.e. providing you don't pay at the hotel) then it should count.
