Bonus points can only be collected once per flybuys account. A $5 fee applies to the Mastercard GC purchase. Unsure from screenshot on purchase amount required to get the points for other GCs. From previous offerings, it was $50. Starts Feb 12. Enjoy :)
Not 100% sure but I think system does not allow payment of giftcards with flybuy dollars. Happy to be corrected if this is not the case…
You cant use flybuys pts. If you really wanna clear ur fb pts this way u need to exchange them for a gift card and use it to pay assuming the checkout guy doesnt stop you from doing so.
I've bought these gift cards before during similar deals, and the staff would ask if I want to use 2,000 flybuys points to deduct $10. I've always said yes and still got the bonus points.
That is a different thing, and using 2000 fb pts for $10 off is only available if you have some Coles Financial Services services such as their credit cards linked to ur fb account.
He is talking abt exchanging $10 fb dollars with every 2000 fb pts and use the fb$ to pay for the purchase, which is impossible with gift cards.
No the system does not allow it even if the operator tries to do it.
I have in the past used flybuy dollars to pay for opal and have got the bonus points. This was at a manned checkout due to opal top up, so I think it should work for this as well
Gift cards are different from Opal though …
Nice time to redeem your Coles Myer gift card from the AMEX offer.
Which one is this?
Ahh thanks
Can we pay for it using Coles Gift Card?
Technically yes (means the system allows you) But in a lot of stores the staff don't allow. I have been purchasing giftcards using Coles giftcards.
But in a lot of stores the staff don't allow.
Yeah, very risky, a lot of staff don't let you do it :(
Self serve, my friend.
@cwongtech: What’s the issue. There is no risk. You select the payment method after the attendants approval…by that time they moved on to the next customer. If you have a physical gift card, it’s a normal “card” payment, so they have no idea it’s not a credit card etc.
@Coops1: Yes I agree and they do not approve - they need to write a purchase/expiry date but this is not required on the Mastercards as its already printed on, when they see that they just walk away. Unless you make it obvious they do not know nor are interested in how you are going to pay.
Even at self serve?
Yes.
Can be used anywhere that accepts MasterCards?
What if I need to pay $101 and that online retailer does not allow split payments?
'Can be used anywhere that accepts MasterCards?'
Pretty much.
'What if I need to pay $101 and that online retailer does not allow split payments?'
Then these cannot be used.
New Flybuys user here. How do you swipe the flybuys card in store, sorry for the n00b question? I've had the flybuys card for ages but just decided to use it and when the self-check out says swipe flybuys at any time and i swipe it nothing happens; when/how is it used with another card? Thanks!
Scan it. Don't swipe it.
Underneath the EFTPOS machine is a barcode scanner where you scan your flybuys card
Or scan it using the normal register scanners
Can anyone confirm what the minimum value card $ is that you have to buy to get the points not clear in the advertised offer? $100? $50? $25?. Thanks.
Any value for the giftcards mentioned other than the Coles MC card, it's the $100 card that will qualify.
Waiting for netflix giftcards
Me too; my $50 only goes until May
can i buy multiple of gift cards in a single transaction to get say 20,000 flybuys points?
Sure open 10 different accounts one per account LOL .
No, it even says in bold in the T&Cs of this promotion that points can only be collected once per account.
What's the minimum value webjet cards they sell?
Went yesterday to purchase the Mastercards. Used self checkout. After 2 the operator asked me if I was purchasing them for myself. I said yes and I knew all about the scams. After the next one she told me again and told me she could only do 5 in total. After the next one she tired to grab them to count them. I showed them to her. Then she went to get the supervisor. The supervisor came over and also asked me if they were for me and said there were many scams. I said I was aware. She also said I could only get 5. I said I had purchased more at another Coles store. At this stage a male employee joined in and I was surrounded by 3 people. I am a 63 year old woman, 5'4" and did not raise my voice at any stage. The supervisor left. After the next one the operator went to speak to the supervisor but came back and let me finish, glaring and giving sass throughout. I got 7. They did not realise that I was paying with GC and I prominently displayed my credit card. I am sure that they would have stopped me as they have refused to do that at a manned checkout in this store. Last time I got 7 at another store, no hassles and no warning of the scams. The warnings are fine but not over and over and attempts at intimidation even less so. Just as well I am not easily deterred by officious employees.
They're not worried about scams against you, they're worried about scams against them. Faked cc details to purchase the cards.
Also be careful with these promotions, the bonus points are usually only issued once. Would love to be proven wrong on that though.
Yes thank you. I know one lot of 2000 points per flybuys account.
can i use Flybuys dollars to pay and still get the 2,000 pts?
