    I had a look at the picture of the notice from the upcoming catalog and there is no mention that payment by Coles eGift cards is excluded. Is that exclusion a known thing? @taoz? @Zippy7?

    • krazek on 02/12/2019 - 06:58

      I think no need to mention exclusion as it literally wont let you pay with gc

      • Yola on 02/12/2019 - 09:02

        see comment from highdealerand me above. In my experience the system allows it some operators refuse. I find there is one store they will not do it in another they will.

        • highdealer on 03/12/2019 - 22:02

          I used the self-checkout, worked perfectly fine. You just scan the gift card barcode and enter the pin, no question asked.

  • brongz on 02/12/2019 - 01:21

    Why Coles only give one bonus point per flybuys account?

    Woolies has no limit on bonus points from buying gift cards when they have promotion.

    How does adding Netflix Gift card work when you have been paying for the subscription in a different currency?

    • kulprit on 02/12/2019 - 08:26

      It doesn't. You've actually got a Netflix account for that country so only gift cards from there work.

  • Fever4shakin on 02/12/2019 - 08:43

    Does anyone know if the system will let you use flybuys dollars to buy gift cards?

      I have tried several times and it does not. Use GC and save flybuys for groceries and petrol.

    • screensaver on 08/12/2019 - 00:21

      I bought the Mastercard today and he asked me if I wanted money off shop (To use Flybuy points)

      • Fever4shakin on 09/12/2019 - 09:35

        I tried to use flybuys dollars buying petrol and the guy had no idea what i was on about or how to do it. Last time I used flybuys points it was automatic. Their new system seems to depend on competent staff…

        Bought the Coles MC GC today with Coles eGift Card at Self check out as below:
        1. Swapped my $150 Prezzee card which I bought with recent $15 bonus promo (9.09% discount) to Coles $150 eGift Card.
        2. Paid Coles MC Gift Card ($105) with the $150 Coles eGift Card.
        3. Earned 2000 FB points = $10.
        4. Basically paid $85.45 (14.5% discount) for the $100 Coles MC Gift Card.

  • dongdong on 03/12/2019 - 16:11

    Does this mean i can only buy 1 $50 gift card (netflix/ebay etc) at one time or for only one time during this promotion period? and get 2000 bonus flyby points?

    • scanuck on 03/12/2019 - 16:35

      1 gift card per account gets the points, not 1 of each type

      • dongdong on 03/12/2019 - 17:38
        -5

        So lets say I buy 2 gift cards at one time with 1 account, I get 4000 points?

      • dongdong on 04/12/2019 - 08:28

        So in 2 separate times, i can get 4000 points in total?

          LOL. You get 2000 points, once, per person (or on each flybuys card). No matter if you buy 1, 10, or 100 gift cards, even of different types. 2000 points, once.

        • CVonC on 05/12/2019 - 01:52

  • witherwings on 04/12/2019 - 10:37

      I didn't see it on my receipt. check your account online for points after few days.

    • AussieDaddy on 04/12/2019 - 17:44

      Didn't see it either. I asked one of the self-service checkout staff and she said don't worry, just keep the receipt and if it doesn't show up in your account give Flybuys a call.

      • Yola on 04/12/2019 - 19:35

        Always keep receipts and if the offer is not in a catalogue take a screen shot showing you activated. But to be fair I have only had a problem once out of maybe over 100 offers.

      • GregMonarch on 05/12/2019 - 01:46
        +1

        LOL. "Just give Flybuys a call"… Yeah, like I did weeks ago for that 10000 points for spending $xx per week for 4 weeks. I phoned them, they fobbed me off saying they'd escalate it and I'd get the points in a week. Two weeks later no points. Contacted them on facebook instead, days go by then they asked for additional personal details which were irrelvant (they had my name and flybuys number), and again I haven't heard anything from them since.

        • AussieDaddy on 06/12/2019 - 03:06

          The 2,000 bonus points are already in my account. :D

          • GregMonarch on 06/12/2019 - 10:36

            @AussieDaddy: So after my first facebook message that I mentioned above they took ages to answer, and asked for more personal details. I just checked and only NOW (third contact on fb) they ask what my minimum required weekly spend amount was!? It's as if they're deliberately splitting up their requests over weeks, hoping people will give up.

            • truetypezk on 06/12/2019 - 19:34

              @GregMonarch: I called for missing pts on quite a number of occasions and always had it resolved in a single call. Not sure what had happened to you but that is not the norm.
              Normally the pts will be credited within a week after the call.
              If you have enough flybuys accounts, you can strategically not scanning your flybuys card and add it later so that you can qualify for more bonus pts promos. It just takes 10s to add ur flybuys at any manned checkouts.

              • GregMonarch on 07/12/2019 - 02:30

                @truetypezk: Apparently there's a huge backlog of people missing points from that 10,000 deal. I suspect it's something to do with the fact they had several attractive points offers overlapping in those few weeks. i.e. I bet activating #2, 3, etc. and receiving those smaller points amounts 'broke' the 4x consecutive weeks 10,000 one.

      Coles bonus points for gift card never instant, it will be loaded with 24-48 hours together with your transaction.

      @thriftee Really? Interesting that you could use Coles Myer GC to buy eBay GC. Would Coles eGC work too?

      • thriftee on 07/12/2019 - 01:26
        +1

        Probably. I did it at self checkout I clicked gift card for the pay options and then scanned the gift card. I’ve done it at two Coles and both times there was a comment from the Coles person. First one said he wasn’t sure and “we’ll let the system tell us” which I found bizarre. Second time the guy said you can’t use a gift card to buy a gift card. I was on my second transaction by then and said I just did. He said “Oh, ok carry on”. So maybe you’re not supposed to but the system clearly allows you to. Perhaps don’t make it obvious you’ll pay with a gift card when they come around to put the date on the card.

        • CVonC on 07/12/2019 - 01:35

          Yeah really depends on the person. One guy said not allowed even if the system lets you. He even asked his manager. He didn't want to get in trouble cos they have to approve (when the system displays attendant required for the date or something) the gift card when you scan it and their ID gets logged in the sale.

              @Thrawn: Yeah physical gcs are fine. This is for egift cards that need to be scanned.

      • Yola on 07/12/2019 - 16:56

        I got some Coles Mastercards yesterday at self checkout using one Coles Myer GC and Coles eGC. No problems and the attendant cleared it without comment when the machine required her to fill in exp dates. The GC I used were over $105.

        • F1ngolf on 07/12/2019 - 18:16

          To pay Coles MC with Coles eGC, the Coles eGC needs to have over $105 as the self check out does not allow split payment for GC payment. However, this does not work when I tried to pay Coles Express GC with Coles eGC. I'm wondering if paying with Coles eGC only works for Coles MC purchase? Has anyone pay eBay or Bunnings GC with Coles eGC?

          • Samsungnote10 on 07/12/2019 - 21:21

            @F1ngolf: I have read a few times that splitting coles gc is possible, even without the full balance

            it says insuffiecent funds or error and then processes it and asks for another payment

            however I havent tried it yet

              @Samsungnote10: I read that too. I tried the method at self check out yesterday with insufficient fund eGC and it does not work anymore. I'm more interested to know if we could pay other GCs like eBay with Coles eGC of sufficient fund.
              Previously, I've tried paying Coles Express GC with Coles eGC WITHOUT success.

                  @CVonC: Strange. I was not successful when trying to pay a Coles Express GC with Coles eGC. Just to confirm that this is done via self check out with a Coles eGC which has sufficient fund.

      No. Need to have separate accounts. Someone must be the primary on the family one just create another account in the other name and one each for the kids, cats and dogs :) Make sure to keep a record of the birthdates you use as they use that to identify you in the future.

        • bargain-lover007 on 06/12/2019 - 10:39

          Definitely a glitch. I bought three of the eligible cards and got 2000 points for two of the cards but not the third one. So, buying two of any eligible types seems to be most rewarding bet.
