    which one is my card number? the 8 digit or the 16 digit number?

      the 16 digit number that begins with 6008

    Awesome, thanks for the heads-up, OP! :)

  • MelbBargainChaser77 on 27/08/2013 - 23:41

    Also dont forget for those who have more than 1 cardholder on your accounts, sign up each seperate member for extra servings of 500 points.

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 27/08/2013 - 23:45

        well when they ran the same promo for liquorland and 1st choice i registered all 4 of our cards, and got 2000 points added collectively, as did many other posters here.

          that does not mean they'll to the same for Target, it's a separate business and they have their own marketing team…

    • muncan on 28/08/2013 - 08:56

      If you're already a subscriber, don't forget to unsubscribe and then re-subscribe. Then when you've got your 500 points, don't forget to unsubscribe and then re-subscribe. Then when you've got your 1000 points… OK you get the idea :-P

        I think we've established that the OP received an email containing the offer and that it's not specified on the sign up page. I suppose the best we can do is register and see if the points are forthcoming. It's Target, so it'll be easy enough opt out of their mailing list, regardless.

          Why don't they just post the contents of the email then including the T&C's to validate this is a genuine offer?

      • jv on 28/08/2013 - 00:09

        It appears to be an email that has only be sent out to some Flybuys members, strongly suggesting it is a targeted offer…

          That's very punny jv.

  • MelbBargainChaser77 on 27/08/2013 - 23:52

    And its not a targeted offer. I got a seperatetTargeted offer, offering 800 bonus points spending $80 instore.

    • jv on 27/08/2013 - 23:54

      And its not a targeted offer.

      How are you so sure? If it wasn't, you would expect them to clearly state on the website the offer to get more people to sign up…

        +3

        Then just dont sign up. Geez your over complicating this. Just trying to help peeps out with some points. I know its not a targeted offer to me because if you go to the page I linked to from Targets homepage, it is the exact same page that the link Flybuys sent me for it.

        • jv on 27/08/2013 - 23:58

          Geez your over complicating this.

          Why don't you just show us where is says you get 500 points ???

          +1

          I know its not a targeted offer to me because if you go to the page I linked to from Targets homepage, it is the exact same page that the link Flybuys sent me for it.

          A targeted offer means that only 'selected' Flybuys numbers will receive the 500 points. What you say in no way verifies that it's not targeted…

          The fact that nowhere on the page does it mention you get 500 points is a string indicator that most people signing up will not get the bonus points.

        • MelbBargainChaser77 on 28/08/2013 - 00:02

          I would if I could upload a pic of the link Flybuys sent me that says it. Would you be comfortable if I emailed it to you? Once I click the link it takes me right to the signup page, which like you, I cant see any mention of the 500 points. Doesnt mean its a scam. The 1st choice campaign they ran was the same. Coles owns Flybuys, and the previous liquorland and 1st choice email campaigns were just like this one and all honored the points, why wouldnt this one. You are being way too sceptical.

        • MelbBargainChaser77 on 28/08/2013 - 00:03

          Honestly cant be bothered explaining it to yo any more than I already have. Just dont sign up.

        • jv on 28/08/2013 - 00:04

          Honestly cant be bothered explaining it to yo any more than I already have.

          All you did is post a link to sign up for spam…

          I have a Flybuys too and did not receive the email, so how are you so sure it's not targeted ???

        • MelbBargainChaser77 on 28/08/2013 - 00:08

          I have no reason to believe its not real. I cant explain it any firther to you, and Ive offered to email you a copy of the link because I cant upload it here and youve not responded to that. So please let others at least enjoy the 500 points without you playing God and casting doubt over my honesty. of what I beleive is a genuine offer.

          Because when the 1st Choice and Liquorland deals were posted here, I was not sent those emails from Flybuys either, but I registered for the "spam" and received the points, and see no reason why I wouldnt for this offer. Seriously youve tired me trying to justify its a real deal.

          I have no reason to believe its not real.

          It's probably only 'real' for those who receive the email…

          They're probably doing market research to see how many people sign up for this targeted campaign…

And it does say 500 points maximum as did the previous campaigns for liquorland and 1st choice, but for both occasions when I entered all 4 of our familys flybuys numbers we did get 2000 combined points.

        pointscrazy the initial targeted offer was 800 points for spending $80 instore. The offer open TO ALL FLYBUYS MEMBERS is 500 points on email signup that requires ZERO spend. Just like the previous offers from 1st choice that I think you originally posted.

      $10 credit for 2000 points. So 500 points is worth $2.50. Hardly worth all the arguing to be honest.

    • jv on 28/08/2013 - 00:17

      around 50 cents after taking into account the inflated rewards prices…

          The T&Cs you quoted were the ones marked with ^ That was only for the targeted offer of a certain spend threshold.

          The one you conveniently forgot to mention where the ones marked with * which were the actual ones assigned to the 500 point email signup.

          YOU QUOTED INCORRECTLY because of your hyperventilation and excitment in your quest to prove me wrong. The only thing you proved is what a dill you are.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2013 - 00:28

    I got a targeted offer tonight as well. In my opinion the first part of the email is a targeted offer. The second part of the email in my opinion is a general offer. I could be wrong however so I didn't post this as a deal earlier in the night because I couldn't see confirmaiton on the Target website that it was a general offer. The form does ask for a flybuys number so that could be a good sign.

    I checked the url in the email. It's a different url to the regular subscription page but it brings up exactly the same page as the subscription page.

    I agree that it sounds like the same deal as the 1st choice offer and the Liquorland offer.

    If you happen to be a member of the Enews subsciption list, make sure you unsubscibe first before subscibing using the link.

    • MelbBargainChaser77 on 28/08/2013 - 00:33

      Correct 1st part was targeted, and the 2nd part a signup for 500bonus points a general offer.

        • jv on 28/08/2013 - 00:37

          You admitted the email was targeted…

          How will the non-targeted members ever see it ???

          Its not the first time a targeted and non targeted offer has been sent out.

          So how would the non-targeted members know about the non-targeted offer when they don't get the email ???

    • MelbBargainChaser77 on 28/08/2013 - 01:05

      Someone has already posted the pic. It was the exact same one as mine. JV is just trolling and being a deliberate stirer. Its now upto the rest of you if you want the points or not. I regret putting this up. Shoudda just kept it to myself. The only reason I out it up as this is where I heard of the 1st choice and liquorland 500 point signups and I got the points from those deals, and I WAS NOT TARGETED FOR THEM, I never received any emails to sign up to them, yet after reading about them here, I got the points. Was just returning the favour.

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 28/08/2013 - 01:07

        and here are the words attached to the * for this offer

    I received an email as well. Here is the terms I received.

    Now I know Coles tends to personalise emails, but in this case I CANT see the reference to any

    "You have been specifically selected for this and it is not transferable"

    except for the 300 points - not the 500 points for email sign up.

    So maybe its words that appear in different emails.

    BTW on a personal note, thank you to the OP as I would have missed this, initially reading the email I only saw getting 300 points for spending $30

    What I do find amusing is all the ranting going on here. Just enter an email address that you dont use that often, if in 4 weeks you dont get the points, then you can unsubscribe. Thats the worst that can happen. Hell its a lot easier than the effort spent by some above complaining about this

      Isn't that personalised? or am I misunderstanding what you mean (which is most properly the case, and if so I'm sorry.)

    Thanks OP. Previous threads show many are happy to chase the chance of extra points. We have 4 cardholders on our account
    I rate the odds as better than winning $10 on lotto.

    No poster should get a hard time, it's counter productive.
