Been using flybuys for 12months+. I use mostly when doing Food shopping but never really follow the bonus point item. I havent really gotten anything from these rewards BUT my step mother follows the bonus point items ect and she is always getting some really nice rewards.

I think you really have to follow extra point items ect to get anything out of this programm. Easy to use though, signed up within no time and easy to just swipe when shopping.

Recommend.

I shop at Coles at least twice a week and have had trouble getting my bonus points for over a year. Finally went through to Head Office and they got the person in charge for Flybuys on the 131116 number to contact me. Finally 1108 points I was owed were given to me. Was told to contact that person in future if still having problems. Still having the same problems - every time I phone and ask for that person I'm told they are not in. Finally went back to Head POffice today to sort out. This is more trouble than it is worth especially with the amount of phone calls involved and the cost of same.

Love fly buys. I just shop normally and get rewarded for it. Doesn't cost me anything, I don't have to do anything extra, and I get sent vouchers. Love it

Have used Flybuys for some time and it is extremely easy. Usually shop at Coles and get fuel at Shell so it's a no-brainer. It costs nothing and last year the reward vouchers were used to cater for Christmas. I now have our children with cards added to my account, so their small amount of shopping and fuel purchases will also help out at Christmas. There are regular double/triple point offers that add value to the program.

Approximate cost: $free

Doesn't take long to add up, does it?

At first, I was a bit unsure about signing up for flybuys, but I decided to try it in the end. It made me realise that you'd be silly not to sign up. You basically get rewarded for doing shopping that you would normally do anyway. I usually get my groceries at Coles, so I might as well use my flybuys card while I'm at it. It doesn't cost anything and you don't have to go out of your way to get points if you don't want to. Even if you don't shop at many of the stores that take flybuys, I think it's a good idea to have it anyway. Every little bit adds up.

I used to use flybys constantly.
However, not many shell service stations at the time were in the Newcastle area would support this.
When Aldi at Wallsend opened, it was worth the LONG drive to save money on groceries. I found this at the time far cheaper, then what Coles were giving us. Now they want to give us 8 cents off our fuel, but they don't have 91 Unleaded. Instead they have E10?

Something for nothing, I show my card when i get petrol from the coles servo, coles, target etc. Not as easy to earn points and rewards as it used to be. But the emails offering triple points for shopping at coles most weeks are great, nice incentive

I have been using my Flybuys card for a few years and have benefited from it greatly. Earn points from basic grocery shopping, insurance, internet search, flying, motels etc. How can you go wrong in joining??? It's FREE!!! I find the new system better eg. earn triple points, $10 off your bill etc. Flybuys is heaps better than any other reward system in my opinion.

Approximate cost: $FREE

The flybuys program is good. I mean so many places accept it and you can build up points doing your every day shopping. From getting fuel - to your weekly groceries - to the christmas shopping for the kids, you are getting something in return for shopping with their group of shops or partners and with the new system it is so quick to build points... I am currently trying for a specific item - in the old system would have taken years now it is almost done in 4 months.

Approximate cost: $NA

I must admit I gave up. Maybe I should try using them again.

I use to work in a business who took Flybuys and I use to hear all the stupid things you could image like "I don't fly" or "It costs too much to get anything"

If you shop at these places anyways (i.e Coles, K-mart, Liquor land, Coles Express etc) what do you have to lose? The mistake many people make is spending to make points. If your just doing your regular shop than you will build up points easily enough.

I use my points to get "Flybuys Cash" which is the equivalent of the gift card rewards. For 2000 points you get $10 to spend.. This can be built up and you can spend it as you like.

It's really something for nothing, well something for your loyalty any how. With so many reward programs out there it's nice to find one that you'll actually get something from.

I once seen on TV that you would need to spend $20,000 to be rewarded with a toaster... I think they missed the point here you were not spending $20,000 to get the toaster you were spending $20,000 doing your shopping... So if you were going to spend that anyways... cashing your points in for a toaster would be getting the toaster for free!

Since they have changed the program it is easier for people who don't spend a lot to get rewards like Flybuy Cash. There is something for everyone with Flybuys... do it your way!

It's like the 4cent/litre vouchers... if your shopping there anyways... Why not?

Thanks for your comments - thats a really good way to look at it.

Thanks, I stopped using them a few years ago because I wasn't getting many points and kept forgetting to use my card; reading this is encouraging me to get a replacement.
