  • JimmyF on 07/05/2018 - 21:41

    If I have this, can I also get cashrewards too?

    • Godric on 07/05/2018 - 21:52

      I've asked this before and was not given a definitive answer, but from testing it my self it's either one or the other

      • JimmyF on 07/05/2018 - 22:08

        yeah, had a quick look through the T&Cs and don't see a clear answer either!

        I guessed it would be one or the other! No double dipping.

        • O O on 07/05/2018 - 22:25

          In my experience, we can double dipping, but sometimes I missed the Cashrewards points somehow. And I'm too lazy to follow up. 🤭

          Here is the double dipping case, the top part is from Cashreward, the bottom part is from Flybuys. 🤭😅😄

        • fuzor on 07/05/2018 - 22:31

          @O O:

          No thanks for me then, I'd rather get CR definitely

        • O O on 07/05/2018 - 22:32

          @fuzor: Why not, if you can double dip? 🤭

          @O O: but can you double dip each and every time or just random times it works?

    • CVonC on 08/05/2018 - 01:04

      I've been earning flybuys points as well as CR. But you won't get CR if you use an eBay voucher that you redeem via flybuys rewards.

      • JimmyF on 08/05/2018 - 09:10

      Yes click through cash rewards and you also get flybuys points which does not require clicking through.

    • Amos on 07/05/2018 - 21:49

      Use velocity estore, that makes your $4000= 2870 points. Then pay that $4000 with a velocity card and your almost back to a $per point depending on your card

      • jv on 07/05/2018 - 21:50

        Don't forget Cashrewards….

        • Amos on 07/05/2018 - 22:03

          You can use estore and cashrewards? Or either/or

        I like how you think. You must fly biz class a lot. Do you know if buying giftcards through Velocity estore earns you points?

    cashreward flyguy point with coles gift card purchase->use giftcard in coles and get additional flybuys point

    possible?

    • O O on 07/05/2018 - 22:59

      No and yes.

      CashRewards don’t sell Coles gift card.

      You can get Flybuys points with purchase, no matter the payment method.

      • hishaken on 07/05/2018 - 23:21

        I mean cashreward to ebay website to buy gift card and use gift card to make purchase in ebay. claim flybuys twice.

        • lostn on 07/05/2018 - 23:28

          Might work, but flybuys points are worth so little that this isn't very efficient.

          Even when they give you 5X points, spending $50 at Coles is only going to get you 250 points, which is worth $1.25.

          On ebay, it's $2 for 1 point. So if you did your gift card idea for double points and bought a $200 gift card, you're still getting only 200 points, which is $1. That's 50 cents more than you would get without your double points trick, or $1 more than you get if you don't bother with gift cards. Worth it?

          Gift cards are within the excluded categories

    • TheAccountant on 05/04/2020 - 07:59

  • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 07/05/2018 - 23:03

    How is this remotely good value, let alone a bargain? Instead of 1 airline point per dollar, you're getting less than half an airline point for 2 dollars. Even if you converted your akelube points to gift cards you'd be twice as far ahead instead of uding the flybuys points for money off Coles.

    • nightelves on 07/05/2018 - 23:08

      Think Amos mentioned you get better value going via Velocity estore. Think I’m doing that way from now on.

    • huey on 08/05/2018 - 00:17

      You do understand that you can double dip right? I have no issues getting my fly buys and Qantas points.

      • nightelves on 08/05/2018 - 10:36

        Please elaborate

      • gromit on 08/05/2018 - 21:32

        I thought most of these did not allow double dipping, either one or the other would reward you but not both? would love to know from someone that is tried as if it is free extra points then it is great. If it is instead of just about any other offer in existence at the moment it is an awful deal.

  • frugal investigator on 07/05/2018 - 23:11

    FYI during the trial they had bonus point promotions. For example they had if you spend at least $50 in a single transaction on eBay you collected 500 flybuys bonus points. They no doubt will run promotions from time to time.

  • Turd on 08/05/2018 - 00:08

    Wast it already spend $2 and get 1 point?

    • O O on 08/05/2018 - 01:32

      Flybuys is a loyalty card in itself and is free to sign up to.

      If you're asking about a credit card, only NAB and Coles have credit cards with flybuys points

  • zzyss on 08/05/2018 - 12:43

    I don't recall ever registering for this (saw the past deals and never seemed to be available). However I just logged in to the URL above and it shows that it already had my flybuys number and I've already earned 163 points in the last 90 days…?? Weird.

  • tanksinatra on 08/05/2018 - 13:02

    Flybuys are worthless. The conversion is 2000 flybuys points to 870 velocity points. But you only get 0.5 flybuys per dollar which means the effective earn rate is 0.22 velocity points per dollar.

    I mean sure, its free. But it is so miserly.

    • Flattop on 08/05/2018 - 15:30

      I agree that they are miserly but in true OZB style I use the points to replace stuff I would have bought normally. Sure I have to spend megabucks at the supermarket to earn points - but I have to eat so I have to buy food anyhow (and I don't shop exclusively in Coles).
      So if something breaks around the house I will check if I can replace it using flybuys points.

      The selection of rewards is fairly slim though and of course the flybuys site bases the cost of items on RRP+ is equal to xxx000 points so not the true OZB value of goods which is RRP-OZB discount = true market value. In the event that you are using points and not using cash it sort of doesn't matter.

      It's a great formula actually
      RRP-OZB disount = true market value
      now if you could pay that with flybuys it would be an OZB special.

    • jkcat on 10/05/2018 - 11:53

      If you rely on their normal earn rate then you are probably doing it the wrong way. Factor in their constant promos and you are much much better off.

      e.g. a recent triple dip: $50 for 1000 pts from email + 3x pts from docket deal + $40 spend for 1000 pts from paper coupon scored 2150 flybuys worth 935 velocity pts for $50 = 18.7 velocity pts per dollar, and you could add another 150 pts if paid with Amex Plat Edge.

      • grasstown on 11/05/2018 - 17:22

        I haven't had a docket deal for about a year. I thought they fazed them out. Do you still get triple point barcodes on your dockets? I used to get 1000 points or triple points.

      • Flattop on 12/05/2018 - 10:24

        stack where I can, but often not paying that much attention!

  • horice on 08/05/2018 - 16:43

  • puffinfresh on 09/05/2018 - 00:40

    There's a 10x points offer at the moment: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/376980

  • systmworks on 13/05/2018 - 10:27

    I wonder if you can triple-dip: Cashrewards, plus 5% off code, plus earn 10X FlyBuys points..

    The PULL5 5% code is listed on the CR website, so it seems you can double-dip to get the 5% discount and 1% cashback..
    I cant see any exclusion saying you cant use a cashback site or discount code when earning FB points.

  • Sweet3st on 18/05/2018 - 11:35

    I bought an item for $140 on eBay after linking accounts. A later smaller sale on eBay has resulted in FlyBuys but not this first transaction. The seller sent me a private offer which I accepted. Does this not track?

  • OzFrugie on 09/06/2018 - 16:37

    does anyone know if the points are rewarded based on the original price or discounted price?
    eg. $1000 item with 20% discount, for example using current PAMPER20 code = $800.
    Will the points awarded based on $1000 (i.e. 500 points) or $800 (i.e. 400 points)?

    • puffinfresh on 10/06/2018 - 15:59
