Flybuys Points Offboarding

Lrektim on 26/03/2023 - 18:05

I have 94,000 FlyBuys points, not sure what the best offboarding process is?

I am in a struggle atm with my rent, bills, not so much shopping.

What would be the best way to offload them for money?

    how do you have so much and not use them?

    • rektim on 26/03/2023 - 18:15

      It was bonus points and I never really did anything with them.

      • askbargain on 26/03/2023 - 18:17

        bonus points for paying rent and bills?

          Coles Mastercard when I applied last year sometime.

      I have like 300k and that's from my Coles Rewards card. When nearly everything you buy earns you Flybuys it's easy to accumulate heaps.

    OP buys a lot of groceries?

    • rektim on 26/03/2023 - 18:15

      No I don't eat a lot.

        everyone needs to eat something…or drink something…

    Convert to GC or velocity points..sure you can work out the rest.

    Convert to FB dollars and spend at office work? Target? Kmart? Coles express for petrol?

    Redeem for Coles GCs. Go to Coles and explain your situation to them, and offer to pay for someone's groceries with your GCs in exchange for cash (maybe a 5% discount if par value has no takers).

    Don’t forget, if you convert to flybuys $$$, you need to swipe your physical card!!

    Sorry to hear that you are struggling, hope you hang in there.

    Like others have suggested, try to spend it on your groceries as much as you can.

    Also just to let you know you can use Flybuys dollar for topping up prepaid mobile. (Source 1, Source 2)

    Can’t you post in the classifieds or something here to sell them for cash?

    So what you're saying is that you couldn't spend $470 at a conglomerate that is just about everywhere and sells just about everything you could need. Food, petrol, clothes, homewares, liquor, office supplies and hardware

      You could even use the Flybuys Dollars at mycar to pay for a car service or some new tyres.

    I use flybuys dollars to by prepaid visa cards…

    • linkindan on 03/06/2023 - 10:16

      Can you confirm this still works?

      • Maximalis on 05/06/2023 - 11:57

        not recently, it was probably about a year since I last did this

        • linkindan on 05/06/2023 - 14:12

          Damn, it would be great if this worked

          Based on the last lot of points I redeemed during the points back offer on gift cards, it’d take 2 months to get the cards and that puts me past when I’d ideally like to have them. Redeeming them for flybuys dollars and then discounted prepaid cards to use for discounted or cashback gift cards would be faster and ultimately cheaper
