The usual spend $$ over 4 weeks and you'll get $50 either as Flybuys points or supermarket discounts.
Both of my cards received spend $60 although my spending habit is not divided equally between them.
Please comment with your minimum spending requirements.
@nickj: I do the same and have been getting 10,000 points for $50 x 4 this whole year on one or more of my accounts, I have 5. If I do not get this offer I go to Woollies or Aldi and they return.
$80 for me as i am poor
20,000 for $200 spend each week for 4 weeks
I'm finally getting them again! After 6 months or more of none of these offers I got one for $70.
Nice, got spend $90 for 4 weeks for $75 (15k points), but I have 3 deals also ending today, triple points, spend $80 for 2000 points, spend $110 for 4400 points. Guess I'm shopping tonight
$180 * 4 weeks, no deal.
So did you take the deal in September when you had to spend $140 x 4 weeks?
Same, not worth it at this price point.
I have a habit of not accepting these deals anymore.
This worked in my favour as during Aug/Sept I had three deals over three different weeks.
First was spend $210 get 9600 points
Second was spend $210 get 8600 points
Third was spend $210 get 8400 points
So 26600 points in three weeks.
These deals (on top of other point earning purchases) essentially paid got me most a trip from Perth to Brisbane in January.
Out of interest - did anyone else get any offers like this?
Yep we were on a roll in AUG/SEP and received 9600,9600 then 8400 - was too good not to get the shopping done ;)
Never get anything close to that. My GF always seems to get much better offers than i do. Id love to know the algorithm that flybuys uses as our spending habbits and purchases are almost identical
yeah I ended up getting something similar on this, made a killing.
But usually when I don't accept a deal, I just get my $ spend reduced by $10 every two weeks until I accept it. Although this time it is going up and trying to entice me with just sub 10k points.
I was thinking 3x Optus $40 Sim cards @ $15 each, that's 45$ just $5 short of the $50 mark
Does sim cards counted?
Not sure they certainly ain't gift cards or iTunes cards, nor a tobacco products
This is for the weekly 1000 point promo that was mailed out a few weeks ago
Probably doesn't as actually as it puts them under 'other giftscards' on the receipt, and they are placed along side gift cards in some stores.
Weird, my requirements down from $60 to $50
150 for me :(
$210 for me as always..
Mine says 15000 points or $75 for next 4 weeks to spend $100
Mine is $250 x 4. I also received a one off spend $260 get 15,600 points.
Has anybody rechecked offers after activating 10000 points offer….. Have a separate offer to activate which is $50 off same spend over 4 weeks. Usually it’s either or….. in this case it appears to be a completely separate offer…. double bonus maybe….?
I've had it occur in error. It was weird because the first week I hit the minimum spend it printed out 2 x the "you have hit the minimum spend this week" but the following weeks I only got one print out and at end of 4 weeks only one 10k of points.
Weird, I got a new offer today which is spend $230 for 1 week and get 9,200 points.
Might have to hit that one this weekend!
I got 20 000 points for spending $250 per week for 4 weeks plus 17 400 points for spending $290 in one shop. These minimum spends are both more than I would usually spend. I have deliberately stopped shopping at Coles for over 1 month now to try and get their minimum spends down but it doesn't seem to be working.
$60 x 4 weeks for me for $50. I'm a Woolies shopper, so very rarely use my Flybuys card. Will make sure I do at least $60 worth of shopping at Coles those weeks
Usually always been $50 spend x4 for 10k points, I did a big shop recently off $120+ and now my spend is $80 which sucks but I got another offer of 7200 points for a one off $120 min spend which is handy as needed to buy a few things.
7200 points for $120, that's insane
Yeah will be a nice little top up with the 10k bonus over the next weeks as well.
I got an offer for 6400 points when you spend $160 until Tuesday 20 November 2018.
That's like getting $32 discount or 20% discount, although you have to re-spend the money with flybuy dollars which isn't difficult.
I got 4x$50 shop for 10,000 points, then on top of that a one-off 4800 points for $80 spend. 4800 points = $24, and since I was going to do the $50 anyway, it's basically spend $30 extra get $24 extra back, so effectively an 80% rewards ratio on those extra dollars (more than meeting my 25% rewards ratio criteria). The big downside though is that it's quite liable to stuff up the next round of offers after this, so instead of offering 4x$50 they might up it, to say 4x$70. Still, a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush…
I do this too. Then if it goes up move to using another flybuys account or Aldi or Woolworths.
Got $50 on mine
Mine was $60 last time, now it's jumped to $70. I think I'll wait until it goes back down, either to $60 or $50.
What the heck..my offer for this 4 week spend has disappeared from my activated offers even though I activated it last week and spent the amount stipulated within the time frame.
That usually happens. They haven't figured out a way yet of keeping the multiple weeks offers in the activated or current offers section. the offer should still be current, just not visible.
Yeah happened to me too. First time it had happened I think.
fsck Flybuys
This is the second time I have signed to one of these deals, make the spend, scan my card each time and poof! the deal disappears from my activated deals.
Has anyone else had this?
Yes this happens to me and others here have mentioned it. It is not a problem, continue with the deal. I have always received the bonus points on these. The only one I had a problem with was a Liquorland promo and they said I will get the points.
I beat my own record this week. For $62.46 spend I received 3648 bonus points and that is not counting the 10,000 points I will get when I complete the 4 weeks. My spend this week was just over 49% off and of course most things I purchased were on special. Thanks OzBargain.

I had smaller values one.. Then for last few months I am getting like $130/$160 for 4 weeks. The problem is I always opt for delivery and there always are items that are out of stock. Hence, I end up getting extra stuffs with no bonus points. I gave up desire for flybuys bonus points
The next round. I.e. 3 rounds of $50 x 4 (taken up and met), one offer of $60 x 4 (ignored, all shopping at Coles ceased), then back to offering another round of 4 x $50 (taken up and met). Ironically the round after that they did not make me an offer at all, and I have no idea why (but again no shopping at Coles).
Sooner or later they'll work out the pattern: Does this person respond to offers? Yes, but only if we offer rewards >= 25%. Does this person shop here without offers? No.
In economics that makes me the most marginal & elastic customer in the shop, and all the most interesting stuff happens at the margins :-)
