    Mine said spend $70 or more.

    • ballaonabudget on 15/02/2018 - 21:45

      Very lucky, that's even better!

      • Redtomato on 15/02/2018 - 21:47

        No still earn only $50. So it is not as good. :( Spending $70 for 4 weeks is not so easy.

        • ballaonabudget on 15/02/2018 - 21:51

          oops sorry I misread your post, I thought it said you'll get $70 off. Yeah looks like you'll have to spend extra unfortunately.

    • danielh on 15/02/2018 - 21:45

      Yep. Mine was $70 as well. Been trying to minimize the spend on the flybuy card to make it think I’m a low spender.
      Please note that you have two weekends to spend $70 so you can do a Woolworth shop on the alternative week depending on what sort of deals or sales you want to target.

      • Redtomato on 15/02/2018 - 21:53

        But that is only for the first week. For the rest 3 weeks,only one weekend each. I might have to pass this one as I also need to use Woolworths online vouchers I bought on ebay.

      • Usernames on 16/02/2018 - 03:40

        Note that not scanning your flybuys card isn’t enough to mask your spending, as they would have already linked your credit card/debit card to your membership from previous scans. Way around this is to pay cash (or even use Apple/Android pay etc as I think they don’t get to see your card details).

        • JIMB0 on 16/02/2018 - 06:08

          If they were allowed to track spending via payment card numbers they wouldn't have bothered with a rewards program.

        • ldt on 16/02/2018 - 06:59

          @JIMB0:

          They can, it’s just easier with something like flybuys as it can be spread across multiple companies and they can encourage you to spend your rewards backs into the business.

          @JIMB0: Sorry, you are incorrect. Merchants can track spending via card numbers. However, card numbers change and people use different cards. The rewards program assists with consolidation to a single ID.

          Use Android Pay (with an Amex) and it generates a unique card number for each transaction.

          @Usernames:
          This is 100% correct. It's buried somewhere deep in the T&C. They reserve the right to create a token to identify your credit or debit card and then go ahead and record evey use

      • PJC on 16/02/2018 - 04:16

    These are always targeted with different money amounts depending on how much you normally spend at Coles in one transaction. Mine is $50, my parents one is $290!

    • ballaonabudget on 15/02/2018 - 21:47

      Good to know. I've been doing most of my shopping at Woolies recently so this deal is enough to swing me back into Coles.

      • inherentchoice on 16/02/2018 - 07:05

        That's why they targeted you. They realised that your card wasn't getting scanned as much.

    • ti6331 on 15/02/2018 - 21:52

      what is the reward for the minimum spending of 290?

      • southaussiewithcosi on 15/02/2018 - 22:05

        It's the same reward. Either $50 or 10000 bonus points.

  • Monty1089 on 15/02/2018 - 21:45

    Mine is minimum spend $150 :(

    You guys are very lucky to get the $50 minimum.

    • [Deactivated] on 15/02/2018 - 21:49

      Depends on what your usual spend is. Higher the more you need to spend.

      • Monty1089 on 15/02/2018 - 21:53

        Yeah we do pretty much all our shopping at Coles. So we do spend more than $150. Not weekly though. Every 2-3 weeks. Looks like I might need to head to Woolies every now and then.

  • panacheski on 15/02/2018 - 21:48

    Mine is $130 each week for 15,000 points, was not offered a cash reward.

    It means I would have to spend $520 for 15,000 points ($75 coles voucher), OP would have to spend $200 for $50 which is great.

    Mine is $80 😭 $240 of Opal credit here I come (currently have $275 worth over two cards from the last promo where I had to spend $90/week for three weeks in order to receive 6000 points)

    • matn on 15/02/2018 - 22:18

      Is there any other credit you could buy to reach the target when you're not from Sydney? Vouchers or visa credit, maybe coles prepaid credit?

      • kerfuffle on 15/02/2018 - 22:26

        Usually they say all gift cards and iTunes cards excluded. I always wondered whether Google Play cards count but I also have too much Google Play credit to risk buying such a large amount and get no reward for it 😂

        Edit: Also I can't do Maths; more like $320 of Opal credit here I come …

        • bargain ben on 16/02/2018 - 07:51

          The maximum Opal credit you can have on your card is $200.

        • kerfuffle on 16/02/2018 - 07:52

          @ben1980: No it isn't; it's $250

    • karansuper on 15/02/2018 - 22:55

        Go to a Coles that does Opal top-ups …

        • karansuper on 15/02/2018 - 22:58

          Oh great… When you recharge Opal from Coles do you get points? Because Woolies does not count Opal recharge as points earner.

        • kerfuffle on 15/02/2018 - 23:00

          @karansuper: Yes you do. Which is why I always top up my Opal card at Coles when I have these sorts of offers. But now I have too much Opal credit …

        • karansuper on 15/02/2018 - 23:03

          Thanx for that… Great info. 😀

          The number of Coles that do Opal top-ups isn't as big as Woolies but a number of them across Sydney do them.

  • sagitox on 15/02/2018 - 22:11

    I just shopped at Coles tonight and then I got this email literally just after I left the store. Mine is spend $60 after getting $50 for so long. So annoying.

      You can spend the $50 next weekend. Week 1 covers 10 days.

      • sagitox on 15/02/2018 - 23:09

        It would be $60 not $50 and I hadn't activated the offer when I did my shop tonight. I spent just under $50 too. It doesn't start until Friday anyway.

  • doweyy on 15/02/2018 - 22:12

    I got the $50 per week

  • fedwood on 15/02/2018 - 22:18

    Got the $50 minimum as well.

    Think the Woolworths one is better from this week.

    Week 1 Spend $30 Get 1000
    Week 2 Spend $40 Get 2000
    Week 3 Spend $50 Get 3000

    Plus you can use egift vouchers and cashrewards.

    Also targeted though

    • [Deactivated] on 18/02/2018 - 15:00

      I got that offer as well.

  • flyingmouse on 15/02/2018 - 22:27

  • mxlegend99 on 15/02/2018 - 22:32

    Mines at $60. Used to be $50 each time.

    Still worth it though.

    • sagitox on 15/02/2018 - 22:43

      Really though?

      An extra $40 to get the same 10,000 points?

      • mxlegend99 on 16/02/2018 - 05:52

        Spend $60 each week on groceries I already needed and planned to get anyway… and get $50 off the 5th shop? $50 is a huge saving

        Even when my deal was at $50 I was spending closer to $60 anyway. Often over it.

        • sagitox on 16/02/2018 - 18:46

          Next time it will increase again, only a little bit so you don’t notice, it will go up to $70 then $80, etc. I only ever do it when it’s $50 as a single person I struggle to get to $50 especially each week for four weeks. But I do it for the bonus points (worth $50). But it’s up to you, if you can easily spend $60 that’s great.

  • Fake News on 15/02/2018 - 22:43

    Mine is spend $50 per week/4 weeks to get $50 or 10,000 points.

    They were offering me rubbish offers in January, spend $70 or $80 for 2 weeks to get 2000 points I think? So I ignored them and now they're finally giving my account some better offers

  • Tobias on 15/02/2018 - 22:48

    Got $50 per week. Woolworths offer was something like 3x points, they rarely have good offers.

  • frugal investigator on 15/02/2018 - 22:48

    I have not gotten any of these for a few months now. I was told by recent a FlyBuys letter that I was in the top 2% of flybuys earners in australia - I only achieved that by taking up offers like these. My hypothesis is that they are not sending these to top earners anymore - can anybody else confirm?

    • Tobias on 15/02/2018 - 22:51

      Top 1%. Frequently get good offers. Rarely get free offers though.

      • frugal investigator on 15/02/2018 - 22:55

        Are you getting these $50 or 10000 point if you spend X over 4 weeks?

          Yes, current offers is 4 weeks with $50 target for 10,000 points.

  • ashamam on 16/02/2018 - 08:33

    The fact it is per shop and not per week is a deal killer for me. The Woolworths offers are generally per week which means I change from shopping at both stores in a week to the one store. No deal Coles.

  • dcash on 16/02/2018 - 08:57

    Why bother posting these things here when a) it's specific to individual card holders, and b) both Coles and Woolies run these things all the time (i.e. as soon as this one ends, the next one will begin). It seems pointless to me, when those involved get the e-mails anyway.

    • bradism on 16/02/2018 - 09:22

      So that we can all whine/boast about how high/low our required spends are.

      • dcash on 16/02/2018 - 15:47

        Ahh ok, got it! And here I was thinking it was about posting useful bargains.. my bad :D

        In that case, let me add that mine was $150 per week for 4 weeks, so I decided to take up the Woolies offer this time around of $180 per week for 2 weeks. By the end of that my average spend with Coles will have dropped, so their next offer will likely be $120 per week for 4 weeks.

      They will probably send you a different offer with your 'Welcome' pack.

        Hmmm. It's actually the girlfiend's account. Not sure if she got a welcome pack, but perhaps the account is too new.

      It takes Flybuys a couple of months to study your spending patterns and demographic information. Once they know your regular spend they'll send an offer for you to spend just over that to get rewards.
