  Let me do the calculation for you..

  buy 2 of the product to get 500 points

  $5.29 x 2 = $10.58

  buy 10 to get 5000 points

  $5.29 x 10 = $52.90

  5000 points = $40 voucher

  $52.90 - $40 = $12.90 / 10 = $1.29 / box

  $1.29 for 1kg oats or oatbrits ??

  EDIT: perhaps you may want to edit the title to be more descriptive, ie $1.29 for 1KG Uncle Toby Oats / Oatbrits or 5000 points flybuys etc,

  that's cheap … as elcheapo !!

    According to the flybuys webpage:
    https://www.flybuys.com.au/flybuys/content/bonusoffer/?parti…

    It says:
    Buy any 2 Uncle Tobys Oatbrits or Oats 1kg in one transaction and collect 500 FlyBuys bonus points. See FlyBuys Shelf Ticket In-store for Terms and Conditions.
    From: September 1, 2008 to September 28, 2008

    So $5.29 x 2 = $10.58 and you get 500 points
    So to get 5000 points you need to buy 10 x 2 packets = 20 packets, which costs $$105.80
    And you get back 2 x $20 vouchers
    So thats effectively about a 40% discount.

    not sure how quickly I could eat 20 boxes of oatbrits! :)

  yes that's right. thanks for the calculation
  i asked flybuys today
  that's either 1 kg oats ($5.29 each) or 2 oatbrits (dunno the price)

  5.29$ x 10 = 52.90$
  flybuys have offer 2500 point for voucher 20$
  so 5000 points for $40 voucher

  calculation is exactly right, elcheapo
  52.90 - 40 = 12.90 (10 boxes) = $1.29 /box.

  of course you have to figure out how to eat the 10 boxes though :) but i guess everyone will figure it out later. lol

  I think you need to buy 2 of either oat brits 1kg or oats 1kg to get 500 points (virtually $4), essentially save $2 each 1kg pack.

  I'm confused…

  So 1 x 1KG of Oats will cost you $5.29 each

  In order to get 500 points you buy two of them…thus $10.58 initial outlay for 500 points

  So in order to get 5000 points one would have to buy 10 lots of 2 x 1KG Oats… thus a $105.80 initial outlay.

  I then qualify for a 2 x $20 vouchers, which brings initial outlay to $65.80 for 20 x 1KG of Oats… or approximately $3.29 per 1KG.

  So are the oats $5.29 for 2 x 1KG or a single 1 x 1KG, as this will affect the calculations dramatically?

  This promo is not showing up in my local stores catalog its code is….

  140_c-nsw-met-0409.pdf

  So it maybe only certain states, areas or store types

  Also why buy 10 when buying 5 will give same savings per pack - viz if 5 1Kg = 2500 points ie $20 back

  I checked my local Coles these are $5.99. So its regional for the $5.29 price.

  Also the instore promoi sticker for Flybuys gave the impression that you need to buy 2 of the 1kg Oatbrits or 2 of the Oats, or 1 of each.

  So Kearnsey is right, it would be $3.29 per 1 KG. On Oatbrits that would be a saving but not as great as $1.29

  I think the confusion is whether it's 2 pack or 1 pack to obtain 500 flybuys

  i bought the Oat 1 kg at Coles Central (City) for $5.29

  i had double checked with flybuys how i can obtain 500 flybuys point:

  that would be either:
  Scenario A
  2 x Oat Brits

  OR
  Scenario B
  1 x 1kg Oat (So far, my price $5.29, in Melb CBD)

  Confirmed that you need to buy only 1 of 1kg Oat, you should get 500 points

  back to calculation:
  if you want to get cheapest oats
  To obtain 5000 points, you need to buy 10 times (not 10 packs in 1 transaction, just in case)

  10 packs x 1 kg = $5.29 x 10 = $52.90
  5000 points => voucher 2 x $20 = $40
  total = $12.90 for 10 packs of 1 kg
  so basically you are paying $1.29 / 1 pack of 1kg.

  That scenario only works for 1kg oats (not scenario 2x oat brits)

  anyway, you can also collect the flybuys points for 3 years and redeem something else, doesn't have to be 20$ voucher. just my 2c
