    How do we see what out targeted amount is?

    • Pricebeat on 16/11/2017 - 19:23

      Download coles app and add Flybuys

    • guidedlight on 16/11/2017 - 20:06

      I can provide some insight. It's based entirely on your historical spend, as measured by your FlyBuys cards. Basically Coles wants you to spend more with them then you normally would.

      So it's probably a good deal if you do your regular shopping at another supermarket; but if you already shop predominately at Coles (and use FlyBuys) then the "Targeted Amount" will force you to spend more than you normally would.

      So tread carefully, It's a finely veiled offer.

      Also after you have completed the deal, and received $50 off; it will repeat with an even higher amount.

        Nope I just had the same deal around 3 weeks ago an it was $50 then and now it’s another deal for $50

        This is my third consecutive $50x4 offer. No increase in spending as in previous years

        • Neoika on 16/11/2017 - 22:46

          I doubt you completed all previous $50x4 offers.If you did not complete these offers,it will not increase obviously.

          @Neoika: Completed previous offers and got the bonus each time. No increase yet. I'm not complaining though

        • SimbaGirl on 16/11/2017 - 23:14

          @aj3000: Much the same here - this is my 3rd offer in a row with a $50 weekly spend target. First offer was for two weeks, next offer was for 4 weeks, as is the one I received today. Completed both the previous offers (spending just over the target amount by a dollar or two) and bonuses received each time.

        • Tal_Shiar on 16/11/2017 - 23:56

          I usually get between 60-80, I got 70 this time. Usually if I don't want to accept I start being a bit more selective about what offers I accept. Sometimes you get a better offer in the coming weeks, not always though.

        • ely on 17/11/2017 - 08:07

          Yeah, I get the odd higher offer and never complete it. Most shopping is at WW due to far more convenient location, so shopping for bonus points is 95% of my Coles spend.

      • The Almighty Dollar on 17/11/2017 - 12:08

        Confirmed. I signed up to flybuys approximately 4 months ago. Did the 4x$60 spend for $50 voucher and just received this one for 4x$70 spend. Still nice but I usually do smaller shops as it’s more convenient for me so I won’t be doing this. Hopefully it’ll result in more suitable deals next time.

      Non-perishables are your friend here.
      I stock up on cleaning products, tissues, toilet paper & other stuff depending on what's on sale for that week. Having a pet comes in handy too, when you're due for new dog/cat food and snacks.
      If it looks like it'll be a stretch to do all four weeks, definitely don't try and they will soon send you another offer which will be lower. I am a single adult so I don't go for any that require over $60 spend per week.

      • 31mop on 17/11/2017 - 11:02

    This one is very much targeted email. I have to spend $110 to get 10,000. It's been like this for a while now. Not accepting hasn't lowered the amount down. So, I miss out on extra fly buys points these days.

        Yeah, I seen others say the same thing :( I wish mine would go down. Mine is actually $120 not $110..It was $110 few weeks ago though. But I'll keep ignoring it in hopes it lowers sometime..haha

        • Coops1 on 16/11/2017 - 19:54
          +5

          Get another flybuys account. Do some minor spend, then initial offers should be low. Use it until offer spend goes up to an unachievable level. By then the other card will be lowered somewhat. Rinse and repeat. Always only just meet the offer amount. We are back down to $50 from $90…

        • pikapika on 17/11/2017 - 14:34

          @Coops1: Thanks for the suggestion. Not a bad idea at all. But I wouldn't think you can have two accounts in the same name as it's just me?

        • Coops1 on 17/11/2017 - 17:20

          @pikapika:

          Makes it harder, it needs to be a real person in my opinion (moral code only!). We have 4, but 2 Adult kids have there own as well. I don't think thats an issue at all.

        • pikapika on 17/11/2017 - 19:54

          @Coops1: Yep, I might be out of luck on this one. Well, Woolies will get more of my business than Coles for now is my only real solution and tiny spends at Coles.

      • lai on 16/11/2017 - 21:15

        Actually I am opposite. My spend target raise from $60 to $110 to get $50 bonus. That's suck.

        I think I spent twice $200 and got $20 bonus each time. Coles think I able to spend more. So this time, I won't activate and let's see will bring down target spend.

    • tassieeagle on 16/11/2017 - 19:37

      My little hack - create a second account and alternate between them. Also, the less you spend, the less you have to send to get the bonus, so try and spilt your spending between the two.

      • bigspike on 16/11/2017 - 20:07

    • naira on 16/11/2017 - 19:59

      We spend at least $50 at Woolies and $50 at coles so both of them send us good promo. You are getting a high value because your total spend for the week is around that.

    • No on 16/11/2017 - 20:16

      I buy everything from woolies using the egift cards and rarely go to Coles unless they give me one of these offers.

      Mine was $50.

    • drfuzzy on 16/11/2017 - 20:16

      You need another few cards to train.

    • lostn on 16/11/2017 - 21:00

      Just a possibility, they might know you're rich because you spend a lot, and give you less tempting deals than someone who doesn't spend as much?

      I got $50 x4 for 10k points. I never spend $50 a week in one shop.

      I'm guessing you spend more than $50 in one shop each week, so there's no point offering you the same deal I got, because it's not going to get you to spend more than you are, and they're just giving away free money. That might be why yours is higher. They have to set it to an amount higher than your average spending.

      I'm only guessing though. It could just be you're a low spender like me and this is all entirely luck of the draw.

      • pikapika on 17/11/2017 - 14:43

        Low spender is still true but I'll go to Coles say twice a week (sometimes none) and I'll do a small shop. So if I combine the price of both those shops it'll come to around $100ish. So, this is probably why I've been hit with the $120 cause they see how much you spend overall in each week and TRY and push you to do it that way. Isn't going to happen.

          I wonder if it's better value to use the FB points as money to spend at Coles or transfer it to Velocity for a flight.

          It'd be an interesting calculation to make but I guess there would be lots of variables.

    Not as good as the woolies Google Home Mini deal. I got the Mini for free for shopping $50 a week for 4 weeks. There was another offer that overlapped with it: get $20 in credit for spending $30 two weeks in a row. Of course spending $50 towards you free Mini also fulfills the second offer at no extra spending. So I got the $20 on top of a $79 item, for spending $200 over 4 weeks.

    I'm not doing this for $12.50 a week in savings. I struggled to spend $50 at Woolies.

    We were away OS for 3 months and got a 4$75 offer which was great. This was followed by a 4$100 offer which I was about to reject except we were going away for 5w with FiL so actually worked out well. Then followed by 4$130 (ignored) and now 4$100-will also be ignored. What really… irritated me was the vouchers that came in the mail, alternating between Double Points(only) and bonus points for $140 purchases. (had been triple points and $70 spends) Went straight into the bin (along with the 4c fuel discounts)

  • Copydog on 17/11/2017 - 07:57

    I've gained some insight into how this work.
    We get offers between $200 and $230 because we spend quite a lot each week.

    Recently we didn't use the flybuy card for 2 weeks but still shopped and spent $200+ each week.

    It looks like they take the average of what They calculate as your monthly spend because our 4 week offer dropped to $100 min spend.

    Remember they don't have people poring through your purchase history to calculate your min spend at slightly higher than what your last deal was or whatever. Way too hard and requires multiple data sources.

    They use a very basic algorithm for these things , and There is no more basic than 'Total spend last month' divided by 4 and rounded up to the nearest offer amount ie $50,$60,$100,150,$200 etc.

    This ensures the majority of recipients will spend more than they did last month and keeps the, shopping at Coles. So they lose out on those people who have no intention of shopping elsewhere anyway like us.

    • retiredfeline on 17/11/2017 - 08:37

      It's all done by computers, and computers can implement any algorithm if the data is available. They are still recommending certain things for me to buy because I once bought those or something similar in the past.

  • elefc on 17/11/2017 - 09:33

    irrespective of the algorithms and calculations etc, the spend required to get the bonus points just keeps increasing. as they say on the sharktank….im out!

    • dbui8743 on 17/11/2017 - 09:58

      As long as you don't shop at coles, I still think it won't increase offer after offer.

  • mitty on 17/11/2017 - 09:43

    I had this offer last week. I've also had various versions of the "spend $x each week to get $x discount in the 5th week". This can be quite painful as yes they try and get you to spend more than you normally would (eg $80 when most we ever buy is $50). Also we mostly do smaller shops multiple times in a week as we don't drive and so doing a bigger shop is actually a pain to get it home :) But as long as you buy stuff you actually need, then it's a good way to stock up and then you'll have a nice discount and can then not do much shopping for a while.

    Can I ask something here, it says " delivery", do does this mean you have to have it delivered by Coles? In order to get the bonus on offer? I only have time to click and collect, and I wouldn't pay up for delivery personally

    • retiredfeline on 19/11/2017 - 21:12

      This sentence?

      If discount is used at Coles online, $50 discount will show up on tax invoice at the time of delivery.

      That's pretty clear don't you think, it's only if you shop online. If you pick up, handing you the goods is probably regarded as delivery. I don't think they want to force you to use their home delivery service. They want you to spend. You can shop in store as usual.

      I should think so, it's just a payment method. They just want you to spend.

      I've paid with gift cards before and still qualified for the promotion.

    How soon after the final shop does it take for the points to be creditted to your account?

    I earnt 10,000 points yesterday, but they still haven't been creditted to my account yet

      Just contacted fly buys: The bonus points will normally be creditted within 48 hours

        At one stage they were crediting the points within 24 hours but these days it is usually 48 hours. That's what happened to me this week.
