        What's it say for you in the FAQs page? https://www.ebay.com.au/flybuys/l1/faqs

        I'm getting gypped here. Maybe because I buy too much crap on eBay? Both my accounts say I could have earned 80+ points over the last 60 days.

        • MattyAu on 10/11/2017 - 10:23

          I'm only getting 1 flybuys point for every $2 also

        • doweyy on 10/11/2017 - 10:26

          FAQ page says the same thing for me:

          You can collect 1 flybuys point for every $1 you spend on eligible eBay items when you check out using PayPal.

          Normally, there is a maximum of 5,000 points per transaction.

          During special promotion periods, you may be able to collect more than 5,000 points in a single transaction.

          That’s really odd how yours is 1 per $2?

        • loke on 10/11/2017 - 10:33

          @matthewk85:

          Welp that settles it, simply made a new ebay account for $1 for every $1

      What’s even better is that they combine!

      Possibly, Alongside Qantas points per spend as well if you do it correctly. For anyone wondering how to stack, go to this post and see :) Tracking is subjective however and might not work everytime for QANTAS/Velocity stores.

        Read through and most people who tried it said it didn't work.

        • doweyy on 10/11/2017 - 13:30

          Yeah it really depends, but worth a try if you’re getting a big purchase I reckon.

        • vinsyd on 11/11/2017 - 11:10

          @doweyy:

          Guys 100% will stack, i use Q points mall, velocity points mall and then cashrewards. Now with this you can earn 4 ways in one shop. Use an Amex card thats like 5 lots of points for every 1-2$ spent :)

        Off topic, I know, but does anyone know if you are able to use voucher codes (eg PREZZY) with the gift cards you buy from Fly Buys?

        http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/pay/certificates.html

        That link refers to vouchers vs gift cards, but the Fly Buys page refers to them as vouchers.

        • BelowSubZero on 10/11/2017 - 10:52
          +2

          seems like the voucher is treated like discount codes,
          Never know until someone try

        • tomsco on 10/11/2017 - 10:58
          +2

          @BelowSubZero:

          Yep, pity. I'll test once I'm able to get my damn account to link.

          In saying that, even if you can't use discount vouchers as well, it's still awesome to be able to use FlyBuys points on eBay rather than the normal Coles/Kmart shops I do.

          EDIT: Durr… The codes only work when using PayPal to pay… Well… Let's see.

          EDIT 2: Tried anyway and can confirm you can not use FlyBuys voucher with other vouchers.

        • BelowSubZero on 10/11/2017 - 12:26

          T&C point 2.1 Using your eBay voucher
          You can use your voucher when you check out on eBay with PayPal or a credit card. You can only collect flybuys points on the total eligible transaction cost (excluding postage and delivery charges and any other ancillary charges not included in the eligible item price) when you use your voucher at checkout using PayPal.

          Vouchers cannot be converted back into flybuys points, and cannot be cancelled once they are issued.

          You can only redeem one voucher per transaction at checkout. You cannot use your voucher in conjunction with any other eBay coupon, voucher or redemption code.

          You must use your voucher in one transaction only. Any balance not used in your transaction cannot be used for another transaction. Multiple items can be purchased in one transaction (up to a maximum of 10 items per transaction).

        • tomsco on 10/11/2017 - 12:27
          +4

          @tomsco: Last bit I'll add on this. Just refreshed my FlyBuys dashboard on eBay and the points calculated on the full transaction amount, not the discounted amount (ie. got points for $100 spend, not $80 spend).

        • odysseus on 10/11/2017 - 12:51

          @tomsco:

          I'd avoid doing this. Aside from the lack of combining mentioned above, it normally results in an inability to get a refund.

          I'm sure they'll have to remediate it if you complain if you did need to get a refund, but it's more hassle and more risk on you.

    • tomclancy on 10/11/2017 - 11:20

      What happens if I return items that I’ve purchased using my eBay voucher?

      If you return items purchased using your voucher, we can only issue you a new voucher if you’ve returned all items from the transaction. If you only return one item from a multi-item transaction, we won’t be able to issue you a new voucher.

      Watch out for clauses like this. Given our family shops at Coles I think I'll still use FlyBuys points for groceries.

      • Boshait on 11/11/2017 - 13:36
        +1

        Isn't that an attempt to anull statutory refund rights, and therefore not binding? AFAIK, no matter what tender the retailer chooses to accept, they must honour those rights.

    • CVonC on 10/11/2017 - 11:37

      since when did this happen??

    • virhlpool on 25/11/2017 - 16:52

      Why is it better than converting Flybuys points to $$ while making payment at Coles though? The simplest method to use Flybuys points I know of.

      • tomsco on 27/11/2017 - 09:55
        +3

        To be honest, it's a mental thing.

        I could get $100 off an eBay item, or $100 off a Coles shop - at the end of the day, I've only spent $100, but got $200 worth of purchases.

        Someone I know would prefer the $100 of the eBay purchase, more so because it's a one off special buy, vs the groceries which you budget for… even though they're the exact same amount out of pocket.

        Personally, I did convert some FlyBuys points to eBay $$$ just to test, but in hindsight, think I'm worse off. You can't use a voucher with a discount code. So if I just use the Flybuys points for Coles, etc, now I could have a $100 eBay item for $90 out of pocket (10% discount code) and $100 of groceries.

        • virhlpool on 27/11/2017 - 20:23

          Exactly.. That's one of the reasons I prefer to use Flybuys points at Coles.. No extra effort required too.

    They give you $10 for every $2000 you spend.
    You give them your spending habits and personal information:

    "When you link your eBay and flybuys accounts, you are consenting to providing your information to both eBay and flybuys. Both eBay and flybuys will have certain rights with respect to your personal information and you should check eBay’s User Privacy Notice and the flybuys privacy policy to ensure you are familiar with the ways in which each of the organisations may hold and use your personal information."

      That's all? You have to spend $2000 to get $10 with this Flybuys thing? Meh!

      • King Tightarse on 10/11/2017 - 12:48
        +4

        Well I really think WE are the product in this case.
        Flybuys builds complex spending profiles which it can then share and sell to others. Having all of a persons eBay spending and their supermarket spend makes it that much more comprehensive.
        Personally, I am not going to bother with this. Not because I particularly care about my Flybuys profile but because $10 per $2000 is too pissweak to motivate me. If they had done 2000 free points for signing up, then sure.

        • endgame on 10/11/2017 - 12:58
          +2

          Yeah about the only time I hit flybuys is when there are giftcard promos or supermarket spend promos that work out to more than 5.5%.

          +1

          I, on the other hand, thought 'how many points will they give me per purchase if I don't sign up?'. Since the answer was 0 then I felt it more advantageous to sign up.

        • endgame on 10/11/2017 - 22:28

          @seanbaussie: The tradeoff (my information for their points) doesn't add up for me.

      • Boshait on 11/11/2017 - 13:41

        That's been the cost of Flybuys to the issuer for a very long time.

    • brian77 on 10/11/2017 - 18:04

      I find the easiest way to earn points is using the Coles '500 points if you spend $40' or 'triple points' coupons that I get in the mail, or sometimes from the bottom of Coles dockets. Otherwise yes, $2000 for $10 back (0.5%) is not very attractive

  • justwondering on 10/11/2017 - 10:30
