  • Thanks OP.

    Want to know if I link the Flybuys to Velocity, will I still get flybuys points when shopping in Coles?

    • Yes you will

      • thanks mate.

    • Yes, you'll still get Flybuys points and 1 status credit per $100 spent (double during the promo). You need to transfer them from Flybuys to Velocity if you want to use them as Velocity points.

      • thanks mate!

  • What's the maximum 20 status credits get you…?
    I once had two status credits that have since expired.

      Absolutely nothing….you need 250 to get to silver which still gets you very little. 500 to get to gold which will get you in the lounges. They expire after 12 months. It's not a bad way of topping up your status credits (if you use it over the course of the year) to maintain status but the cost per point is also quite high. Without the promo you'd be spending $1000 for 10 status credits, you'd earn more on a cheap flight. Even with the promo it's not great value.

      • +3

        Its rare for a frequent flyer program to award status credits at all for anything other than flights. So in that context it's great value that you can get up to 120 a year for doing the family grocery/liquor shopping with coles.

        Obviously in terms of overall tier points required to earn/maintain status of course it doesnt make up a significant portion, but nor should it.

  • Its sad watching all my status points expire.

    Gone from just short of platinum, around 900 points, to 50. No longer fly for work. :(
