Got this on all of my many accounts so I'm pretty certain it's not targeted.

I would imagine that most of us here haven't ever redeemed a digital fuel docket at Shell Coles Express because any real OzBargainer has a helicopter for cheap fuel.

The real deal here $7.50 worth of Flybuys points per account for redeeming a free coffee. The coffee is the worst I've had so for my remaining accounts I'll be redeeming the offer at the cashier but just not making it.

At Shell Coles Express, I found
A coffee so cheap, my hopes unwound
Bitter, with a flavor so sad
Even the low price couldn't make me glad

No cream nor sugar could amend
This awful brew, a bitter end
I'll search for a better source, no less
For at Shell Coles Express, I must confess
Their coffee is truly a distress.

To redeem a Digital Fuel Docket and collect 1,500 bonus points you'll need to:
1. Sign in or download the latest Flybuys app.
2. Spend $30 or more in one transaction at Coles.
3. Receive your Digital Fuel Docket in the Flybuys app under 'My fuel offers'.
4. Hit 'Activate' on your Digital Fuel Docket.
5. Next time you're at Shell Coles Express, scan your Flybuys card and choose to redeem your fuel offer OR the current in-store product offer (no fuel purchase required). It's that easy!
Offer valid Tue 14 Feb to Wed 15 Mar 2023
Offer redeemable once

    Thanks OP
    But it is targeted, got the offer on my wife's card but not in mine…

    • cooni on 28/02/2023 - 11:08

      Have you redeemed a digital docket before?

    • effgee on 28/02/2023 - 11:59

      agree it's targeted, nothing on my 1 and only account, and I've never redeemed a digital fuel docket

      I redeemed about 10 free coffees before this promo, but got it anyway

    Clever.

  • Rain Cloud on 28/02/2023 - 10:22

    Did my free coffee with docket (after activating this offer) last week, waiting for the points to come through

      Same

  • Awesomandy on 28/02/2023 - 10:26

    And what if I don’t want a digital docket? The household collects the paper version and then just take the one that expires the earliest whenever someone needs to fill up.

    • Rain Cloud on 28/02/2023 - 11:46

      Could always get physical cards for each family member's account and redeem digital dockets with their flybuys card i suppose

    • Ezio on 28/02/2023 - 11:58

      For customers who qualify for the fuel discount docket, the fuel discount offer will continue to be printed on your Coles Supermarket paper receipt until the first time you activate the fuel docket digitally in your Flybuys app; at which point you will continue to receive your fuel docket in your Flybuys app. If you wish to change your preference from receiving the fuel offer from the Flybuys app to your Coles supermarket paper receipt, please contact Flybuys Service Centre on 13 11 16 Monday to Friday between 9am – 7pm AET.

  • DoctorCalculon on 28/02/2023 - 10:36

    Great offer, but not seeing it in my account.

      Geez, I got it on 18 accounts, including one that's kinda stooged and never gets offers

    Good deal for those with limited options as you say. Using PetrolSpy info, it currently takes 35l to make up the difference between Costco 98 and the cheapest Coles fuel in Canberra with the offer. Since Colesworth help to prop up high fuel prices in Canberra it takes a particularly good offer (eg NRMA 12cpl off, now rare as rhs) for me to partake.

  • thekensai on 28/02/2023 - 10:41

    it is targeted. only on one of my many accounts

  • souths123 on 28/02/2023 - 10:41

    anybody else notice the flybuy offers for Coles have taken a nose dive? I used to get them all the time and would use them, now my account barely gets anything worthwhile. My husband's account still gets some deals, so I use that one mostly, although only if worth it, and we both missed on on the last spend x$ for 4 weeks promo that we ALWAYS get like clockwork…in the end, it is their loss as it means I am barely spending money at Coles these days

    • Lois Price on 28/02/2023 - 10:45

      Yes, they will definitely be missing your custom flybuys number 23367893459

    • cooni on 28/02/2023 - 11:10
      -1

      Make more accounts

      • souths123 on 28/02/2023 - 11:13

        nope, if they don't want me to spend my money there, then I won't. Two accounts is enough in one household of 2 people.
        I was just asking if others are having the same issue?…i.e. are Coles/Flybuys cutting back on their offers overall. It just happened to me suddenly around Dec, and I have had barely any offers since.

        • Igaf on 28/02/2023 - 12:28

          Yep used to get them, never used them because they aren't value for our shopping, but haven't seen one this year.

  • Lois Price on 28/02/2023 - 10:44

    PSA: if you use the AFL Live app, there is an option to get another 4c / L off fuel.

    Stackable with the Cole’s docket and spend $20 for 10c p/ L off.

    We fill up fortnightly and use a soda stream gas cylinder ($19 refill) per fortnight too, so get 18c p / L off buying a piece of fruit in store to get to the $20 spend.

    • tunzafun001 on 28/02/2023 - 11:12

      Whereabouts in the app?

      • WookieMonster on 28/02/2023 - 11:44
        +2

        Once you launch the app, there are two ways to get to the relevant page:

        • There should be a red Shell V-Power banner towards the bottom of the app. Tap on that and you will be directed to the page to activate the offer.

        • Tap the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the app, then scroll down to Shell Fuel Offer. Tap on that and you will be directed to the page to activate the offer.

  • Frunk on 28/02/2023 - 11:23

    Can confirm: awful coffee. Redeemed a free one yesterday without this offer.

  • shortgum on 28/02/2023 - 12:16
    +1

    redeem these many times now. you can run into trouble collect the coffee. some random staffs just plain don't know what they are or few staffs just untrained about this. they can keep repeat your flybuys card not showing up free coffee. usually they're by themselves and not keen to ask for help

    • mitt on 28/02/2023 - 12:22
      +3

      The option to redeem comes up when they move on to the payment screen, while a flybuys 10th coffee prompt comes up 1 step earlier as they are building the sale. If you ask them to process the sale normally the prompt will appear when they move to take payment.

      Their POS system is unintuitive ass & I dont think they did any training when they turned the fuel discounts into a fuel/coffee alternative deal.

      • Ryder08 on 28/02/2023 - 14:55

        POS = Piece of shi!t system

      • tdw on 01/03/2023 - 01:29

        exactly this. i've had to train a few staff members myself since i started claiming the free coffees lol

      Lucky enough as haven't run into issues redeeming at stores close to me.

    • Neoika on 10/03/2023 - 08:01

      Redemption button seems to be located at the lower right corner on the screen.

      The 6th coffee for free is automatically applied.

      • shortgum on 26/03/2023 - 21:38

        finally bump into a no idea staff today. i've stated the instruction here mentioned as above and he's still clueless. if you redeem so many times then eventually you will hit one of these staff!

        lol just walked out and wait for next time when need a coffee. hopefully regular staff back on. tip always bring empty cup to counter first so if random failed you're not force hand to paid on spot

        • Neoika on 30/03/2023 - 10:41

          You can request to view the screen. However, No more free small coffee from today.

  • PowerfulMotivator32 on 28/02/2023 - 13:06

  • mousie on 28/02/2023 - 13:12

    "coffee" with more octane than 95…

  • shoppinginsyd on 28/02/2023 - 13:58

    Thanks for sharing. Can we don't buy anything and just scan the flybuys to get the bonus points?

    • cooni on 28/02/2023 - 15:01
      +1

      Yes, just say you want a small coffee at the counter and that there should be a free one on your flybuys card (assuming you've activated your digital docket). Then it's up to you to either make or not make the coffee but I wouldn't recommend it.

      • shoppinginsyd on 28/02/2023 - 15:38

        Thanks a lot. I'll give a try though never have coffee there before since it's free. :)

  • Neoika on 04/03/2023 - 17:59

    Whats the current in-store product offer? I think it was updated since 2 March.

    • cooni on 04/03/2023 - 18:57

      Coffee again until 29 March it shows me

  • Meenas on 05/03/2023 - 10:59

    Anyone got their points at all? I redeemed for a coffee over a week ago and points yet

    • cooni on 05/03/2023 - 14:17

      From the offer:

      Points collected from this promotion will appear in qualifying members accounts no later than 4 weeks after the promotion ends.

      • Meenas on 05/03/2023 - 15:10

        Oooooo didn’t know that. Thanks

  • shortgum on 05/03/2023 - 19:40

    looks like they may move this deal on after months of free coffees. maybe in-store offer would change first time at the end of 29 march. different freebie a free bottle water or free sim or discounted cheap item

    • cooni on 05/03/2023 - 21:41
      +1

      What makes you think that? They just extended it after having extended it before…

  • Neoika on 06/03/2023 - 13:45
    +1

    Heads up: if you have 5+ coffee credits, make sure to grab a valuable coffee (large or frozen). The attendant has no choice but to redeem the 6th (was the 10th) for free for you, in which case the fuel voucher will have to be saved for later.

    • Craze on 10/03/2023 - 09:49

      I wonder if you're also able to redeem others like chai latte/hot chocolate.

      • Neoika on 10/03/2023 - 10:14

        Yes, but I haven't done for these.

  • Neoika on 30/03/2023 - 10:37

    No more free small coffee from today. New in-store offer is pretty crappy: 150g chips half priced for $3.50.

  • FujiFruit on 30/03/2023 - 21:34

    Anyone received the 1500 points yet?

    • Neoika on 30/03/2023 - 21:39

      No, I did it for several accounts, refeemed them for small coffees.

    • cooni on 30/03/2023 - 21:42

      Not yet.
      The due date is 13 April - but often points get paid out earlier than the 4 week mark for similar offers.

    • Rain Cloud on 31/03/2023 - 15:38

      Such a pain chasing these things up.

    • Neoika on 25/04/2023 - 08:13

      Probably due to "First time" terms. Your had never redeemed it on the 3 accounts before this promotion. I had no points on all accounts.

      The contradiction here is if the account is not eligible (have redeemed digital fuel voucher), flybuys should not have offered the promotion.

      • cooni on 25/04/2023 - 09:31
        +1

        Nah, I've never redeemed anything at Shell Coles Express - never had a reason to drive into one as I fuel up at 7-Eleven.

        All my accounts are sporadically used at Coles and are more than a couple of years old.

  • FujiFruit on 13/04/2023 - 17:55

    No points here either

  • li1123k on 23/04/2023 - 13:48

    No points too, I have to lodge the query with flybuy, they backdate and adjust the points.

    • FujiFruit on 23/04/2023 - 13:49

      How do you remember all those details when u went in the store etc?

      • li1123k on 23/04/2023 - 13:56

        Log in the flybuy and check the transaction history. It shows when and where you spent. I only went to coles express coz of this deal, quite easy to find that transaction

    • issachar on 23/04/2023 - 13:54

      did you call or lodge an online inquiry ?

      • li1123k on 23/04/2023 - 13:57
        +1

        I actually did via FB messenger, either way will work.

    • Rain Cloud on 23/04/2023 - 14:11

      I did an online enquiry yesterday. I had screenshots of everything (screenshot on the day I redeemed the coffee to remind me what day I went) and wrote a message with all the details. I usually call but didnt want to wait on hold this time and just sent the message off, hope they will just fix it up with no drama

      • Rain Cloud on 25/04/2023 - 13:49

        So they replied asking for receipts. I didnt have a receipt for the free coffee but sent screenshots of the offer and of the coffee offer, along with the date it was redeemed. Flybuys always seem to make things harder than it should be (vs Everyday rewards that generally give you the bonus points straightaway and has a online chat which makes following up on points a lot less of a hassle)

        • Neoika on 25/04/2023 - 13:50
          +2

          You can find the record by checking coffee credits.

          THB, I won't participate in any 4 weeks non-Coles BS promotion from now on. I had similar issues with liquorland, first choice liquor, etc.

          • Rain Cloud on 25/04/2023 - 13:56

            @Neoika: Thanks I did give them all the relevant information, they can access it too (if I can, they should too) so hopefully they will just look more carefully and just adjust the points and not give me more grief over $7.5 worth of points lol

            • Neoika on 25/04/2023 - 13:58

              @Rain Cloud:

              they can access it too

              Probably not.

              • Rain Cloud on 25/04/2023 - 13:58

                @Neoika: They work for flybuys, cant they see my flybuys history? If not thats just crap

                • Neoika on 25/04/2023 - 14:02

                  @Rain Cloud: No, afaik, flybuys has no authorization to view the items in a Coles purchase. You think a bank clerk can view any customers' accounts freely?

                  • Rain Cloud on 25/04/2023 - 14:05

                    @Neoika: Pretty sure when i chased up points with Everyday rewards I just told them what the offer was and date i completed the purchase and they just fixed it up. Flybuys is just crappier with bonus points

                  • Yola on 26/04/2023 - 06:42

    So after sending all the screenshots through, including the coffee transaction, they replied saying I 'didnt meet the qualifying spend'…??! I wrote a reply, and got an automatic reply: The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly.

    So so annoying.

          Hopefully they give you double for all the extra effort you've had to do. They clearly haven't read your email properly.

    • Rain Cloud on 28/04/2023 - 11:43

      They asked for receipts/invoice. Again. Attached everything I had and sent it. Again. Their mailbox is full. Again.

      • Rain Cloud on 28/04/2023 - 15:49

        Mailbox still full. Never doing this again, not worth the headache and hassle.

        • Neoika on 28/04/2023 - 16:11

          Check your flybuys activities carefully from Feb. I only submitted via online form once and got points added to the redemption date. I did mention when I redeemed it.
