        • per Flybuys account.

          Safe to assume the whole week. So only 5 for 1 account for the whole week.

  • great deal if live next to coles

  • +2

    you need to consider the amount of time you spend, the fuel, the vehicle wear and tear (in $ terms). Then see the benefit :)

    • +5

      The warm feeling you get paying off ATO/bills at a discount you couldn't get otherwise is hard to beat.

      • 0.2% is hardly much to worry about, like $4/$2000.
        Guess alright if you are making payments every 3 months but still a dick around.

        • It's much more than that when you factor in buying them with discounted Activ Visa Cards or AMEX and racking up points as others have told you. It all adds up and every cent the tax man doesn't get his hands on is a delight.

          You could even inception away a small bill if you wanted to with multiple flybuys accounts, although it's sounding anecdotally like maybe ShopBack have closed that loophole.

          • @wavesgreen: Ok good to know. Not worrying about it all for a one off payment 0.2%.

            I do like the dedication of you guys knowing every trick, the other giftcards for 10-15% with no fees are worth it.

    • Even the 2000 pts promo in term of $/time is significantly higher than what most (if not all) working/middle class can earn. And remember it is discount so tax free as well.

    • +1

      I only bother with the 2k pts promo if I'm going there anyway and will spend them. Inception isn't worth it with such a low profit.

  • Is I'm reading this correctly, can I purchase 5 cards in one go and get 10,000 flybuy points?

    • Yes. Get the $100 one’s.

  • -1

    Is the 5 cards limit per flybuys account per day or throughout the week's promotion?

    • 5 cards only /flybuys during the promo…

      • thanks for confirming

  • I got a 5x flybuys points offer… can I stack with this one, eg I buy one gift card and get 2000 x 5 = 10,000 bonus points?

    • +1

      No those offers don't work on these, or any other offer like spend X get X.

    • +1

      Nope.

      • How about the X points when you spend $Y offers? Update: from above, nope. If I already activated the 5x offer which one will apply?

        • +2

          No nothing other than 2k + base pts per card will apply.

        • +1

          Lets say you've got spend $30 get 1000pts, and 5x, activate both and spend on NOT giftcards and both will apply, you'd get 1000pts and 5 x 30 pts but none of that will apply to buying giftcards.

      • ahah drRalph

  • Is there a particular way to enable redemption of 2000 points for $10 off at the check out? Didn't come up as an option.

    • This is only available at certain stores in some states. It is available in NSW.
      https://experience.flybuys.com.au/colesinstant10/

      • Thanks for that, but hmmmm
        I just visited 2 listed stores and it didn't come up

        • +1

          I tested this myself in September and I did not see the instant $10 off prompt when purchasing a Coles Mastercard gift card, but I saw the prompt when purchasing more than $10 worth of groceries a minute later in a different transaction at the same checkout.

          I am hardly surprised by this, because the linked webpage above says that you need to spend $10 or more in the transaction, but any spend on gift cards is excluded.

          • +1

            @WookieMonster: Right right… I was kinda expecting to see it because of some of the comments here.
            Thanks for clarifying

            • @cooni: No worries.

              Keep in mind there are two different Flybuys instant discount redemptions options at Coles:

              • The one for Coles Financial Services customers (which is has be around for years).

              • The one for all Flybuys members (which was introduced earlier this year).

              Most of the comments you would have seen would have been for the CFS redemption option.

          • @WookieMonster: @cooni I think its easier to redeem the points for dollar within the Flybuys app (assuming you're okay keeping the app)

      • I mean the auto redemption of points, not using flybuys dollars that have already been loaded on to the card

  • Bloody blackhawk networks, forgot about the $400 limit.

    • Whats the $400 limit?

      • Activ visas, tried buying all 5 with them, last payment declined and had to use a different payment method for it.

      • Theres limitations with the blackhawk powered visas, if you do a transaction with them then try another transaction in the same store within 10minutes it declines, also anything over 400 declines, not sure if it's 400 on the dot or 399.99.

  • One of my card cant be linked to paypal, shopback, medibank and also I can't check the balance

    • Probably wasn't activated, check receipt and take it back to store to see if they can activate it properly.

      • so this card was linked in shopback with no problem, but i did 5 transaction, then i removed this card and try to link to my husband shopback account. But the paypal and medibank both transaction didn't work. In the receipt all cards have been approved. I wonder why.

      • You are right, omg

  • +1

    Purchased my 5 cards today and immediately paid my council rates. $24 saved. Nice.

    Looking forward to the next 10% offer (probably February 2024) as I have an ATO bill to pay in March.

  • If buying a $100 Coles MC GC you can use $10 Flybuys points if you have them so cost is $95 for $100 card, and get $10 FB points. Good discount using the Coles MC for paying off Council Rates!

    • Did you buy groceries aswell? Or were you able to redeem the $10 with buying gift card only?

      • No groceries. Just the card

        • Ok great thanks!

    • It wouldn't let me redeem the $10. I was on self serve checkout

      • it's benefit from coles master credit card linked to flybuys, which gave auto-redeem $10 popup once check out.

        not general flybuys $ converted from points.

        • +3

          There are two different Flybuys instant discount redemptions options at Coles:

          1. The one for Coles Financial Services customers (which has been around for years).

          2. The one for all Flybuys members (which was introduced earlier this year at a number of Coles stores).

          My guess is that @attalisie is talking about (2), because in my experience, that instant redemption option will not appear if you are only purchasing a gift card.

          There is also the option to convert your Flybuys points into Flybuys Dollars, but that is a completely separate redemption option.

          • +1

            @WookieMonster: Thanks wookie, yes I was talking about the second option. I had tried in the past and it didn't work then either. I wasnt expecting it to work, but thought Eddie got it to so tried again. I came prepared and brought a $10 note to "split payment" at a self serve and then used the shopback visa card to pay $200

          • +1

            @WookieMonster: thanks for detail. just knew the option of instant $10 is available, will try.
            then it makes FB card not safe like EDR if the number is leaked…

            • @test8888: You have the option to switch off the Flybuys instant $10 discount (the one for all Flybuys members). The Flybuys call centre did this for my account upon my request.

              • @WookieMonster: Why did you turn it off, might I ask?

              • -1

                @WookieMonster: @WookieMonster @HamBoi69 Can this coles mastercard gift card be used to purchase Gift card from woolworths. Please let me know thank you.

                • @NirajSS: Yes. I went straight off to woolies and used them.

      • A checkout lady said you need the physical card to redeem flybuys as cash to pay for groceries.
        I just converted some to velocity points instead, use for flights.

        • converted FB$ with actual card only cover general purchase, excluded gift cards.

          • @test8888: Obviously no gift cards, but they tried to say you cant scan mobile app etc to pay for general purchases and needed the physical card to use FB dollars.

            • @G-rig: Shame they are still that old fashion, i had hundreds on my flybys because i ain't had physical card since i lost it many years ago, once velocity came out changed to that it was great being able to use it for a flight

      • I used physical FB card and self serve for this and it popped up to use $10 in points if wanted.

    • Are you using FB points you have converted to FB$ on your account or are you talking about the instant $10 off redemption pop-up that you get at the register?

  • How many cards can you purchase on self serve checkouts before it starts asking for approval for each card?

    • I think its one, but not sure

      • It is one. You can buy 5 at a time at the self checkout also.

    • It'd always ask approval for giftcard, but u can do 3 at once to save time a bit (unless u want more fuel docket). Don't go over 3, as it'd ask further approval from supervisor. I normally do 3/2 when buying 5

      • I just put 4 through and it didn't ask for approval until it came time to pay. It should be ok to put 5 through at one time.

        • -1

          That must of been single payment? Split payments on these GCs at self serve cause an issue I've read somewhere else, I never use self serve for these as I have to split payments.

  • Does anyone got their points credited?

    • +1

      Check tomorrow arvo around 4:20pm.
      FB pts arrive the next day.

  • -1

    Did anyone tried more than 5 per flybuys account to check if this rule is being enforced ?

  • +1

    Quite extraordinary
    I bought one today, luckily i opened it.

    It has a card inside about 2cm x 3 cm just enough to contain the visible barcode printed on it

    Real pain the store tells me call the card company, card company demands the card details, which are not on the blank barcode plastic piece.

    So now stuck calling coles national service support

    • Ripped off!

    • Wow, sorry to hear mate. Btw, did u open it when u were still in store and they would still ask u to contact national service?

      • Nope
        Opened at home, found the phone number for card manufacturer a horrible 2 hour call
        where most time was spent explaining that 4 digit postcode is not a mistake and no i haven't forgotten my post code last digit.

        they will process a list/stolen and send a replacement. Blocked the old.

        I actually reckon someone to the card cut it in half leaving enough for the card to activate
        Taking enough to have the card number cvv exp. And magstrip

        I didn't see any damage or tamper but inside the tape and glue was certainly unusually binding tearing the terms paper and package.

        • Jesus thats a lot of work for $5 gain
          I've heard about scams with gift cards but that's unlucky, glad you sorted it.

    sydney city coles OOS.

    I remembered that this deal was not that popular in the last a few time.

    • +1

      yes same as last promo no $100 cards in city stores.

      my opal got cap this week, so enjoyed half day free city tour from wynyard to broadway then to st.leno, finally got 5x $100 cards :)
      there's 1 left in st.leno …

      • This shows your dedication. Usually a member like your age may already lose interest in this.

  • +2

    Points received, in case there was ever any doubt. 10525 for buying 5x $100.

    • Yep ding-ding-ding! And just bought some more and took the $10 off using those exact same points.

      • Then did you not get the bonus points for the second purchase since you already bought 5 cards with your flybuys card?

  • Took 2 days to receive the Flybuys points.

    • +1

      That sounds about normal. Flybuys are credited on the following day around4/5pm…

    @WookieMonster, @HamBoi69 Can this coles mastercard gift card be used to purchase Gift card from woolworths. Please let me know thank you.

  • If I get a temporary flybuys card in store and link it to my email, then immediately go buy these gift cards will I get the bonus points? Thanks

    • U need to wait 24 hours before u can use new card for the 10%, so I supposed should be the same for points? Anyway, wouldn’t risk it, still time, let the 24h lapsed first

      • Can this coles mastercard gift card be used to purchase Gift card from woolworths. Please let me know thank you.

        • Yes it works. Staff might prevent u but the system doesn’t reject it

          • @hanofee: Have fun trying to use a Coles Mastercard gift card to purchase a Perfect eftpos gift card or Activ Visa gift card at Woolworths.

            • @WookieMonster: Trying to get ultimate gift card will there be any issue getting ultimate gift card from this Coles Mastercard. Thank you.

            • @WookieMonster: Oh ok, so only work for some then. U reckon another Blackhawk restriction, rather than woolies? I was assuming he'd want to use for Ultimate though, which is on special this week, and yes, it worked for Ultimate. I got some on Wed

              • @hanofee: It is a Woolworths restriction.

                Items Not Allowed is the error message you will see if you try to use a payment method that Woolworths does not want you to use for the item(s) you are wanting to purchase. This error will appear as soon as you swipe or tap a card, which means that Woolworths will not even bother contacting the card issuer to attempt payment. If you think about it, it is equivalent to the Invalid Product Mix error you may see at Coles or Kmart or Officeworks, etc.

                For example, you cannot use any eftpos gift card using 502125 as the BIN to purchase a WISH gift card at Woolworths. Physical TCN eftpos gift cards are one such eftpos gift card, and that has nothing to do with Blackhawk Network.

              • @hanofee: Yes I want to use for the ultimate. Thank you. Are we also able to do split payment when we buy ultimate I probably would get 350 ultimate on the variable trying to see if I can get $100 Coles Master card 4 times if not probably will get one 250 as 250 will be easier to find and will try split 100 or 250 dependingon what I can find and then do rest on the bank card if that works need to try.
