Has anyone found this deal is much easier way getting point than hunting down those Cole’s Mastercard which is impossible to find nowadays?
Not sure where you're located but I had no trouble finding the Coles Mastercards in North West Sydney this week - 5 x $100 Coles Mastercards purchased (2 lots actually under different accounts) and points have already appeared in my Fly Buys account (the day after)
Good but prefer the 2k points $30 spend as no stress no lock-in.
70/week for me… Good joke flybuys 😒
Can't believe I have this offer.
Remember we used to have this offer very frequently a couple of years back. And we switched to shop from Woolworths since they stopped giving us this offer.
edit: time to get Coles pork deal..
Now Woolies is giving me frequent $10 off $40 spend offers
Do you guys have any tips on how to spend AUD 50 per week consistently? Most of the stuff are cheaper in Woolies and ALDI.
One kilo of salmon will do.
I buy a few packets of fresh meat (lamb shanks, chicken breasts/drumsticks etc) and put them in the freezer for later use. Fresh pet food too. Prices on these ones are equivalent to Woolies.
I got slab of Great Northern for 1,500 points
Next 4 weeks is Coles for me. 4x50, easy peasy, Woolworths offer is 2x190…boycott and wait to drop. Aldi is your friend.
Aldi are just as bad and evil as Coles and Woollies, they're just better at hiding it. Example: Aldi Corn Chips used to be 227 gram packets, for $2.49. They've reduced the size to 200 grams, price is the same.
Our strategy is that one of us goes to Coles, the other to Aldi. We call each other and check prices on things and whichever is cheaper that person buys it.
I'm not abig fan, but fresh meat deals are usually the best ( unless you can snag reduced tickets at your local Willie's/Coles). We use aldi for cleaning stuff and some here and there staples. Just as Woolworths and Coles brands, some of them are better. We take budget grocery shopping as a sport and we got all of them within 2km of each other
$170x4
Username does not check out… not cute enuf
I got $130 each week for 10,000 points or double the points for $180 spend for 4 weeks. We shop at Coles because we have a Coles Mastercard to collect more points but sound like it's time to give up on the points chase and switch to Woolies to encourage Coles to return us to better deals!!
I got $50 x 4 weeks. I will spend the first $50 tomorrow on fancy feast cat food, on sale for $1, reduced from $1.60. My cat likes the grilled tuna in gravy and the salmon pate
on the boat of $130 each week for 10,000 points or double the points for $180 spend for 4 weeks.
Anyone knows how to get these offers? Haven’t shop at coles for a long time but they stop giving me these kind of offer :(
For me they gave me a lot of "1000 points if you spend $X" or "5x points" and I just spammed hide offer. It seemed to get the hint and gave me a 4 week but YMMV.
I wouldn't imagine there's necessarily a link between that. I also used to get lots of bonus points offers, used them every time, then started getting these ones.
They're presumably constantly testing different combinations for different profiles of people to see what works best, so there's no way to know how to get a specific offer for a specific person.
You don't think that telling them you're not interested affects the algorithm at all?
Of course there's no way to guarantee a specific offer, but you can definitely guide it along the right track. Same goes with activating offers (even if you don't shop them) - the algorithm will take that as positive feedback you liked that offer.
@pennypincher98: I don't think a multi-million dollar algorithm is as simple as "tell them you're not interested and you'll get more stuff", no.
I literally just gave you an example that shows the exact opposite of what you found. There's a hell of a lot more behind it than that.
@callum9999: As someone who actually works in pricing and promotions rather than your "I think", it really isn't that complicated. Sure there is a lot of background algorithms but the point is simple, find the lowest discount you can offer that'll get the customer into the shop.
Seeing as you completely missed the point I'll spell it out for you. Tell it you are not interested and it probably will not give you that offer because you stated it's not worth it. It will also not likely give you a worse offer when you rejected a better one, although sometimes it does for consumer psychology reasons I won't go into here. It will likely give you no discount and see if you still shop there, of which case it doesn't need to try and win you over.
So yes, rejecting bad offers will eventually present better ones as long as then you don't just say you're not interested and then shop like you are. It doesn't happen overnight of course, but it doesn't favour loyalty..
@pennypincher98: With offers that you are not interested, is your recommendation to ignore and not activate? I tend to activate all the offers including the ones I don't use. Perhaps I should ignore the bad offers
@trixieb: Yeah don't activate offers you won't use, it will give the algorithm positive feedback that you like that offer and will give you probably a slightly worse version of it in the coming weeks (eg $10 more spend or 500 less pts).
Flybuys in particular is annoying and will tell you there's a "new offer" when it's the same one, so hiding it prevents it from re-promoting it and stops you accidentally activating. Hiding seems to kinda work as a dislike/not interested button for the algorithm, whereas just scrolling past it won't necessarily stop them trying to promote.
The only offers I'd consider activating without using are offers you'd be happy to shop, but can't for whatever reason.
@pennypincher98: Nothing you've said contradicts anything I've said…
In fact, the little aside you made - "although sometimes it does for consumer psychology reasons" - is the EXACT argument I was making…
I already gave you an example where it did the exact opposite to what you claim it would do. If people want to follow your "reckonings" because you supposedly work in a similar field then more fool them.
@callum9999: I'll put into simple English for you: if you don't scan your card or activate your offer, it will eventually give you better offers. This could be a lower minimum spend, more points, or less weeks. This is really simple stuff - look at every thread on here: when people activate an offer, their spend goes up (or points down). When they do not activate an offer, their spend goes down (or points up).
This is a blatant contradiction and correction of your original point.As for this:
although sometimes it does for consumer psychology reasons
That's for if you're not a valuable customer, they experiment on these. You're being experimented on because Coles believes you will shop at Coles anyway. If you don't, the value of your data to the algorithm outweighs what you'd actually spend.
If you're going to embarrass yourself with another reply, at least put an ounce of thought in it.
@pennypincher98: I'll put this into plain English for you.
I did my main shop in Coles during the previous bonus points offers then stopped when they stopped. I haven't been targeted with this one. Using your logic, they know that's what will get me to spend money there so they should have offered it.
I continuously hide the 5x points for dairy offer that I continually keep being targeted by and it's back. Time, after time, after time. Using your logic, they would be upping the value.
Your arrogance is as pathetic as it is misplaced. THIS IS NOT "REALLY SIMPLE STUFF". It's a complex science that literally hundreds of millions of dollars is spent researching. Thinking that they just keep increasing offers incrementally until you bite is an incredibly childlike understanding of the science. You don't even have notoriously unreliable anecdotal data to back that up - this site is full of people questioning why they aren't being targeted by similar offers despite fulfilling the criteria you state. You need to remove your head from your backside, thinking that because you supposedly deal with pricing in some capacity that you're an expert in the field.
I realise a layperson is more likely to blindly believe something they want to hear than to accept "there isn't a simple answer" so I'm effectively shouting into the void, so unless you want to continue arguing your point without being an arrogant jerk, bye.
@callum9999: Jesus you get so worked up over a few flybuys points lmao. In your rage, you've forgotten the entire point.
I said:
rejecting bad offers will eventually present better ones as long as then you don't just say you're not interested and then shop like you are. It doesn't happen overnight of course
You said:
I did my main shop in Coles during the previous bonus points offers then stopped when they stopped. I haven't been targeted with this one.
You also have forgotten:
You're being experimented on because Coles believes you will shop at Coles anyway. If you don't, the value of your data to the algorithm outweighs what you'd actually spend.
I tried to explain but there's just no hope for you if you cannot actually read the information I'm providing. Of course it's a lot more complex than that, but because you can't even grasp the simplest concepts I haven't bothered going into it. I'm unsubscribing from this thread, you take your flybuys card and scan it like a good guinea pig.
How does one combine this deal with the prezzee gift cards?
You swap the prezzee gift cards ($150 + $10 bonus) from the link in the title to Coles gift cards.
That is handy if you are making a purchase instore at Coles.
However, this Flybuys offer is also available through the Coles Online store, and you cannot redeem any gift cards issued by Coles Group (including Coles gift cards) on the Coles Online store.
4 x $160. Hmm.
Mine is usually spend $30 month…jumped up to $50 this time. I won't do it and will wait.
Hi all, can stack with this online offer:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/827052
Collect 2,000 Flybuys bonus points*
When you spend $30 on products from the fresh meat or fresh seafood section & $20 on liquor in the same transaction online.
Ours jumped to 80 week from 60 last time round. We also purposely don't go too high over 60 (or the amount) as that's when in past they creep it up to next level.
Sadly it's easier than it should be to spend 80 on groceries these daysBs… Flybuy wants me spend $130 per week for 4 weeks… I go to Aldi then.
I got
$80 spend for 4 weeks for 10,000 points, $50 spend for 4 weeks for 10,000 points , & $50 spend for 4 weeks for 10,000 points.
I received this 10,000fb's for 4 x $50 offer, plus an offer of 1200fb's for $30 spend 20-22 Jan. Will they stack? Tks
So long as you activate beforehand and do your transaction on a date that fits each offer then yes they stack.
Building on the previous comment from @wavesgreen, you also need to check whether either bonus point offer has the following clause in the fine print:
This offer is not in conjunction with any other bonus points offers.
If you do not see this clause in either offer, your offers will stack.
Flybuys occasionally inserts this clause into their bonus points offers, but I have only ever seen it on high-multiplier bonus points offers for specific products (e.g. 20x points on Coles-branded pork from the meat department, 50x points on selected Vaalia dairy products, 60x points in Listerine).
As an example, last year, I activated a 20x points offer for Coles-branded pork and then purchased some pork from the meat department during the offer period. The problem was that the pork offer had the clause above, and was overlapped by a 3x points promotion on all Coles-branded products across the store (and that storewide offer did not require activation). I only received 3x points for that pork purchase, and when I contested this with Flybuys, they basically said “apologies, you are not eligible for bonus points from the pork offer, because you already received bonus points from another offer”.
"…you are not eligible for bonus points from the pork offer, because you already received bonus points from another offer”.
Which is kinda BS.
Now that you mention it, I realise now I had that happen too some time ago. I only got 3x (or maybe it was 2x) points on a purchase where I should've gotten 10x. I looked and saw there was a product offer overlap and I only got the lower amount. I didn't bother pursuing it at the time but your example makes sense.
Is it considered 'fulfilled' if you order online and they are out of stock of some items?
I.E. your net spend drops below the $50 minimum.
You can have an issue like that fixed via customer support, they'll manually add the pts at the end of the promo.
Always keep receipts and you can call them or email.
Anyone had issue having it showing up on the 1st receipt? Got my first week shopping done, but no usual banner saying your week 1 is finished on the receipt.. Wws is normally instant, having to deal with Flybuys/Coles is just so painful.
Same here, it didn't show up on my first receipt. Now I can't see the offer on my app anymore, so maybe it didn't register my first week of spend and the offer has lapsed due to missing the first week.
The transaction is showing in my flybuys transaction history, so my card was definitely scanned.
I read if the first week was successful, the offer will show up again on the following Wed in app. I am waiting till Wed to ring them.
"I read if the first week was successful, the offer will show up again on the following Wed in app."
thanks I was wondering what was going on. I spent 50 then the offer expired. I was expecting to see a "week 2" offer in the app today but there is nothing.
will wait until wednesday to check.@harshbdmmaster718: The offer reappeared in my flybuys app this morning as week 2, I guess the first week was successfully recorded in the system even though not on my receipt.
@Nohtyp: yes I see it now too. but thing is it's showing only 4 days left?
I mean I remember the 1st week had 10 days left at the beginning, so it makes sense.. but kind of misleading. if they are going to give us 3 extra days to join on week 1 that's fine, but week 2 should have 7 days expiry no??
@harshbdmmaster718: By the conditions of the promotional offer you can shop between the dates specified for each week, ie the full 7 days for each of weeks 2, 3 and 4.
The offer disappearing from your flybuys account each week doesn't effect the offer. It's stupid that they have it disappear and I wish they wouldn't do that, it makes no sense, but here we are.
@wavesgreen: thanks so much. makes sense I usually read the T&C's but for some reason I thought I could rely on the days left info in the app because it's flybuys.
I usually have just been doing the XXXX points on $XX spend. this is my first time attempting a 4 week promo.
@harshbdmmaster718: Well you can rely on the days left info in the app. It's just that the offer disappears for a couple of days so when it comes back it says "4 days left", which is correct, you have 4 days left to complete that week's shop if you haven't already.
@wavesgreen: ok thanks. they do make it confusing don't they. yeah I got a date range for the next week (3) printed on the week 2 receipt. so I will just go by that.
I think it's a tactic, because for one second I thought I had 1 day left of week 3 and I panicked before coming to my senses.@harshbdmmaster718: It's OK once you get used to it. It's always 10 days for the first period and then every Monday to Sunday inclusive.
@wavesgreen: hey not sure which comment I should reply too. but yeah completed my week 4 $50 shop, saw "great you completed 10,000 points" on the receipt. points appeared today.
thanks everyone for the info and tips!
It disappears every Mon and usually reappears on Wed, as long as you have the transactions in your history you can always get the bonus manually added if anything goes wrong.
Same issue - their system is flaky - I’ve just kept the email confirming activation and my receipts so will do battle with them if it’s not showing in my Fly Buys after today
Pleased to report I completed my 4th week shop earlier this week and the 10,000 FlyBuys credited the next day. Bring on the next offer!
Any reason why I wouldn't have received the offer this time around? I've gotten it every other time it comes out (albeit at like $220 spend per week).
I didn't get it either
And I usually always get this offer $50/$60 x4I just don't shop at Coles or if I do, I don't use that card….wait and see what happens next
I was getting a lot of 1200FBP/$30 spend
Did you get $50 or $60 spend for the previous 10,000pts offer?
"I just don't shop at Coles or if I do, I don't use that card….wait and see what happens next"
yup that's what I have been doing when the minimum spend gets too high. just stop scanning your flybuy card at every supported store you shop with.
minimum spend offers come back. I can confirm this has worked for me in the past and I have also read multiple online users comments confirming it.a few comments up some users are arguing about "not clicking the promo" but that's not even it lol. if you just stop scanning your card it sends a clear message as it defeats the entire purpose of being a member = they stop benefiting as well.
if you don't click any promo's but keep scanning your card that's exactly what they want, because you earn points super slow and don't take advantage of any bonus offers.
I got the $50 spend promo and spent over $50 on 2 transactions within the period of week 1, with the first spend receipt saying congrats I made the $50 spend for that week at the bottom of the receipt.
The offer has now disappeared off my app, any idea why this has happened?It'll reappear around Wed, always happens.
thanks! puts my mind at ease
For people wondering about the offer disappearing each week, the text below in the current week's offer:
"The offer will disappear online at the end of each week and will re-appear the following Wednesday if you qualify."
Was not present in the text of the 1st week's offer.
The conditions state "$50 transaction excludes purchases of all gift cards". Does anyone know if SIM packs are considered gift cards in this context?
The reason I think they might be is that I have found that SIM packs cannot be purchased with Coles gift cards because in that context SIM packs are considered to be gift cards.
I was hoping to include a Belong starter pack or 2 in my next $50 shop, but I don't want to spoil the eligibility for this Flybuys points offer.
I can report back that it seems to be okay to include SIM packs in the $50 shop. My fourth week Coles shop consisted of 2 x Belong starter pack @ $22 each plus one grocery item, for a total of $52. The Flybuys section of the receipt said "Congratulations! You've collected 10,000 bonus points."
I don't know whether it would have worked had the shop consisted only of SIM packs.

Some people don't check their app/deals regularly. And if you miss the first week of these 4-week deals you miss out entirely.
