Moved to Forum by OP request.

    I'm just here for the impending nasty comments

    • treebytheriver on 09/11/2021 - 12:18

      Exactly why this should be a forum post.

  • Truck-kun on 09/11/2021 - 12:18

    Is this a news portal or a bargain?

  • Zippy7 on 09/11/2021 - 12:18

    This is just marketing and not a deal.

    Officeworks used to be included, not sure about Bunnings.

      Yep, Officeworks withdrew from Flybuys in 2009, so it was a bit strange for the OP to say that Officeworks was “introducing” Flybuys when really they’re actually “reintroducing” it.

      In all fairness, Officeworks withdrew from Flybuys before it was relaunched in 2012 as the loyalty scheme we know and love(?) today, so Officeworks has not been part of the current iteration of Flybuys…

      I don’t recall Bunnings ever accepting Flybuys.

        Are they going to backdate all the points we've missed out on in the last 12 years?

        • WookieMonster on 09/11/2021 - 12:45

          I’d love all the points for when I purchased price-beaten iTunes gift cards from them!!! Literally the only reason I shopped there in the past…

        • DingoBlue on 09/11/2021 - 14:45

          2009? Surely you mean three years ago.

    Wow what a low effort post. No details, generic link, just crap.
    And they're getting paid for this.

  • macrocephalic on 09/11/2021 - 12:31

    I can't believe it's taken this long. All of these are Wesfarmers businesses. Officeworks has been part of the Coles Group since it was opened (in 1994).

    • jv on 09/11/2021 - 12:45

      I can't believe it's taken this long.

      They used to accept Flybuys in the past.

    • McSquintus on 09/11/2021 - 20:30

      Coles have split from Wesfarmers and is it's own company.

      • macrocephalic on 11/11/2021 - 17:24

        So they have. They still hold enough to control certain aspects of it, but not a controlling interest anymore. Wesfarmers seems to have maintained a 50% stake in Flybuys with Coles, so there's still a tight relationship there. I haven't looked into the ownership breakdown of Wesfarmers, but given that it was a split where Wesfarmers shareholders got shares, I'd bet that a large portion is still owned by the same people who own Wesfarmers shares.

    Now that wesfarmers has bought Priceline, hope to see them using flybuys soon!

    Bunnings + cashrewards would really help my finances lol.

  • corrocoat on 09/11/2021 - 17:09

    Wesfarmers owns Flybuys BTW - so it has always been weird set up as their stores claim to know nothing about Flybuys.

    • serpserpserp on 09/11/2021 - 20:03

      Not anymore. Coles owns 50% now and westfarmers only owns a minority share of Coles now.

      • macrocephalic on 11/11/2021 - 17:25

        Wesfarmers owns 50% of Flybuys and Coles owns 50%. Wesfarmers own 10.1% of Coles, so in effect Wesfarmers own 55% of Flybuys.

  • JIMB0 on 09/11/2021 - 18:07

    Finally we might get some bonus points deals at Bunnings.

  • popsiee on 09/11/2021 - 18:42

    Are you kidding same message as OP on 7 mainstream news :(

  • serpserpserp on 09/11/2021 - 18:49

    Are we actually going to be able to redeem Flybuys points for Bunnings vouchers? That would be a game changer.

    Although tradies/builders are going to never need to pay for groceries again!

      I can almost guarantee that PowerPass and Flybuys are mutually exclusive

    • coxymla on 03/12/2021 - 16:27

      You can use your earned Flybuys points to redeem Bunnings gift cards through the Flybuys portal, which can then be easily used in-store at any Bunnings location across Australia. To see how you redeem your Flybuys points please visit the  Flybuys website and log into your account.

    This is a downgrade. My Coles Reward Card already gives me 2 points per $1 at both of these, so now it's going to be 1 point per $1?

    • soan papdi on 10/11/2021 - 07:05

      You'll get those two points plus one more on scanning the FlyBuys card on the back of the ColesMC.

      • Clear on 10/11/2021 - 10:09

        Is that how it really works?

        • soan papdi on 10/11/2021 - 10:11

          Yes, that's how it works. You pay annual fee to ColesMC to get 2 points per dollar. Then scanning the card goes direct to Flybuys for one more point (or other offers etc which give you a bonus)

          • Clear on 10/11/2021 - 10:13

            @soan papdi: That's how it works with Coles if you follow the criteria. Let's hope it works for Bunnings.

          • nocure on 10/11/2021 - 10:30

            @soan papdi: You pay annual fee?

            • soan papdi on 10/11/2021 - 10:32

              @nocure: I used to. Without annual fee, the flybuy conversion is 0.5 points per dollar IIRC. Made more than the annual fee back, in flybuys dollars.

              • nocure on 10/11/2021 - 13:03

                @soan papdi: Got the black card years ago, 2 for $1 spend. No fee

      Sucked in neggers if it's going to be 3 points per $1. Buuuurrnnnnn

      Flybuys points cannot be collected on purchases made using a PowerPass credit, cash or 30-day account. PowerPass customers can choose to collect Flybuys points or continue to receive their PowerPass benefits. no good for me..

    WHY HASN'T WESTFARMERS BACK DATED TO THOSE FLY BUY MEMBERS WHO HAVE BOUGHT NUMEROUS ITEMS FROM BUNNINGS/OFFICE WORKS OVER THE PAST YEARS.

      Take everything back for a refund then repurchase with flybuys card.

  • thydzik on 10/11/2021 - 09:59

    Trade customers allowed to collect points?

    • [Deactivated] on 02/12/2021 - 17:45

      powerpass or flybuys, choose 1. see link above at bunnings website

      • JIMB0 on 03/12/2021 - 09:16

        You’ll need to figure out which items don't attract a powerpass discount and choose to collect flybuys points instead.

  • OzHunterNSW on 10/11/2021 - 10:56

    I have 300,000 FlyBuy points. I used to transfer to Velocity, but Coles has their own travel web site, which I have used many times.
    Partnering with these other outlets only enhances the collective prospect.
