    My recollection is eBay is only on 'gift', so not available for this promotion. Please let me know if I've missed something.

    • liamisred on 26/09/2023 - 23:04

      It's weird that on the TCN gift site it says it's usable at ebay but on the flybuys TCN gift it doesn't

        Yeah I noticed that last time I looked. I did previously redeem for the Gift to use on eBay but it’s like they have a special version now that excludes ebay. @WookieMonster any insight?

        • myfeetarehappy on 27/09/2023 - 02:17

          I have redeemed for 'Gift' and converted to Ebay gift cards earlier this year.

          From the Flybuys page: "Valid ONLINE only at: Adore Beauty, ASOS, ebay, Princess Polly, The Oodie and White Fox"

          So still seems to be usable for ebay.

          They never do this promo in the 'Gift' card that I've seen

  • yikes914 on 26/09/2023 - 21:07

    Good way to use up the NAB points from this deal.

  • Alinnia on 27/09/2023 - 00:48

    Anyone used The Broadsheet GC before? I'm wondering if it's better than The Restaurant GC since it would cover restaurant, cafe and bar category code.

    ”Where can I use my Broadsheet Gift Card?
    The Broadsheet Gift Card can be used at more than 10,000 restaurants, bars and cafes across Australia, including Broadsheet’s favourites found here.

    The card will work at venues with a restaurant, cafe or bar category code.”

    • wangasm on 27/09/2023 - 02:31

      According to their terms, the Restaurant GC is supposed to cover both Restaurants (MCC 5812) and Drinking places which includes Bars (MCC 5813).
      Despite what their terms say, it is also reportedly working for Fast Food (MCC 5814) on the digital version.

      Haven't tested that card myself but the above means you can't really get much better than the Restaurant Card (Except Restaurant Choice)

      • Craze on 27/09/2023 - 21:50

        Unfortunately Restaurant GC (even digital version) no longer works for 5814.

        • ozmaxz on 28/09/2023 - 00:42

          does it mean it can't be used at KFC, mccas? Have you tried this recently?

          • Craze on 28/09/2023 - 19:23

            @ozmaxz: That is correct, and yes I have tried few weeks ago and it didn't work 😔

        • wangasm on 20/10/2023 - 01:40

          Received mine and swapped it to digital. Can confirm it works for Fast Food (5814)

    • test8888 on 27/09/2023 - 11:36

      I redeemed TCN Restaurant, it can swap to digital. Broadsheet seems only physical use.

      • ozmaxz on 28/09/2023 - 23:38

        have you used this card at any fast food restaurant recently? Above says it didn't work anymore

        • test8888 on 29/09/2023 - 03:25

          yes used at Maca 24/9

  • Mr BoMBAStiG on 27/09/2023 - 05:50

    Any card that I can use at an Accor hotel to settle the bill? The hotel card only works by booking through their website.

  • cchhiillyy on 27/09/2023 - 11:15

    Are these physical gift cards only? As in they will be shipped in the mail?

  • FujiFruit on 27/09/2023 - 11:55

    So when would the last day to expect this points to be sent to me? I need to put a reminder on my notes

  • Reviewer21 on 27/09/2023 - 13:32

    I tried to look for but couldn't find this information, though I am assuming that if you redeem 3 * $100 gift card in one transaction then you will get 3*2000 = 6000 points (going by the line - an account can get max of 20,000 points), Or if it is 2000 points per transaction. Can someone please confirm on this.

    • tbone74 on 27/09/2023 - 14:26

      I've used the previous equivalent promotions twice before and the points were received per card even though multiple cards in one transaction.

      However the first of those times I initially received points for a single card only and had to contact them to request them to fix it, which they did without issue.

      I haven't carefully read the terms again for the current promotion but based on previous experience have purchased multiple cards again in a single promotion.

      • Reviewer21 on 27/09/2023 - 17:38

        Thank you tbone for sharing your experience. I will give it a go :)

      oops didn't notice this. I already ordered 2x cards, will see …

    • Reviewer21 on 14/11/2023 - 18:02

      I got my points today. I ordered multiple cards in one transaction and all points are tracked. It seems they have started issuing points from today.

  • currentfad on 09/10/2023 - 11:28

    Thanks OP, would have missed this.

    Has anyone received the bonus points? I made the order on 9th October. I am aware how Flybuys is a bit old school and slow to update but just wondering.

    • wangasm on 20/10/2023 - 01:33

      Points will be awarded to your account within four weeks of the end of the promotion.

      This means by 6th November

    • Sam33sam on 24/10/2023 - 12:25

      I just received the physical cards today. But, the bonus points yet to arrive for me as well

      • firestint on 27/10/2023 - 12:50

        Same here, made an order on 9th and received the gift cards a few days ago on 24th, bonus points not in yet.

    • test8888 on 24/10/2023 - 13:26

      mine ordered at first day Sept 26, didn't receive yet.
      checked online, still pending…

      • Sam33sam on 24/10/2023 - 17:43

        @test8888…Worth calling them up and checking, they're supposed to deliver the cards to you within 3 weeks. I did not get the postal tracking number, but the status of the order was changed to 'sent' in flybuys account.

      • test8888 on 01/11/2023 - 19:21

        finally received 2days ago. they sent in plain mail, no tracking at all.

        activated & swapped to digital, found TCN app updated, now it can hide all 0 balance card.

  • wutang01 on 30/10/2023 - 13:19

    Bonus points yet to arrive for me as well (30 Oct)

    Ordered 27 Sep
    I reckon my gift cards arrived around 19 or 20 Oct

    "Points will be awarded to your account within four weeks of the end of the promotion."
    I think it's about 4 weeks now. Time to contact Support.

    • tbone74 on 01/11/2023 - 20:20

      Promotion ended 9-Oct. So 5-Nov is when I pla to contact them.

  • ace888 on 02/11/2023 - 09:42

    Ordered 27 Sep
    No Cards and no bonus points here either.
    Will call next Monday if nothing in sight by then.

    • currentfad on 02/11/2023 - 13:06

      What does it say in your order summary (link in your order confirmation email)? Does it say processing or sent? Ordered mine on 9th October and received it last week but it sat on Processing for 2 weeks

  • firestint on 02/11/2023 - 13:16

    Did anyone take a screenshot with the 10% bonus for these cards to share please?

    Just wanting to avoid customer support going "I have no idea what you're talking about" when we reach out after 6th Nov, 4 weeks after the expiry of this deal.

  • firestint on 03/11/2023 - 13:24

    lol wtf so I contacted Flybuys via LiveChat, after what seemed like an eternal wait, they got back and pretty much apologised and to pass this on to support and then just closed my live chat.

  • simon 84 on 06/11/2023 - 03:58

    6th Nov now.
    Lets see what will happen

    • Sam33sam on 06/11/2023 - 09:28

      Absolutely, 4 weeks gone past already…I got 6600 points due to be credited

      I just rang customer service and after a long discussion they’ve sent me a generic google docs form to fill in.

      https://forms.gle/5AsdAw8W99vvxYw8A

      • Sam33sam on 06/11/2023 - 14:50

        Ahh..Google form?…looks hopeless… anyways I have submitted it..let's see

      • lawbee on 06/11/2023 - 17:21

        Thanks for sharing but I prefer to contact flybuys team directly
        It's quite important to keep the member number secured as if leaked it can be used to redeem $10 at checkout without any restriction

        • Womble01 on 07/11/2023 - 15:21

          Let us know how you go calling them

          I’d rung them and the lady seemed clueless and told me to fill in the form

          • firestint on 07/11/2023 - 21:41
            +1

            @Womble01: So they replied to my request.

            We are emailing you regarding the missing bonus points.

            As per the promotions Ts and Cs; Bonus points from the TCN Gift card promotion, valid 26/09-09/10, will be credited to qualifying members’ accounts no later than 4 weeks after the promotion end period. Therefore, the bonus points should be automatically credited by the end of this week.

            • tbone74 on 07/11/2023 - 22:16

              @firestint: The "should be" comment sounds like they're not going to proactively do anything. It sounds like they think the 4 weeks isn't up yet and that all is fine, just need to wait until the stated timeframe for the points to be automatically credited.
              Which of course is wrong. I would reply to point out the T&C's state "no later than 4 weeks after the promotion end period" and that it was 4 weeks yesterday.

              • firestint on 08/11/2023 - 13:28

                @tbone74: Agreed, the support was clueless when I messaged in. What else could we do?

                • Sam33sam on 10/11/2023 - 11:30

                  @firestint: This is the reply that I got…looks hopeless

                  Thank you for contacting us via our Flybuys query form. We sent this to our support team to follow up with your missing points. It may take up to 10 business days to hear back, but once we do we will update you on your case.

                  • firestint on 10/11/2023 - 21:05

                    @Sam33sam: This was the initial reply I got too when I contacted them via live chat. A few days later I got the above reply via email.

                    End of week and no sight of points coming in…

  • Sam33sam on 14/11/2023 - 07:18

    Have anyone received the bonus points? It's been 5 weeks since promotion ended. They don't seem to be serious about crediting the bonus points.

    • ozBForLife on 14/11/2023 - 13:24

      i haven't

    • Alinnia on 14/11/2023 - 15:12

      I also haven't received the bonus points. So much for getting it within 4 weeks of promo's end date. Hopefully they fix it.

      • Sam33sam on 14/11/2023 - 19:10

        I just got my points

      • Alinnia on 17/11/2023 - 21:05

        Just checked and can confirm I also got my bonus points later in the day of 14/11/2023

    • HereToSave on 16/11/2023 - 21:46

      Got mine.

  • tbone74 on 14/11/2023 - 16:44

    In response to a request for an update I'd sent on Friday, I received an email today stating

    Please be advised that we can see the bonus points were added to your account on 13/11/2023.

    I don't see it in the transaction history yet, but I think my total points include the missing bonus points. The total points get updated before the transaction history so this looks normal. I'm expecting I'll see it on the transaction history tonight.

    • ozBForLife on 14/11/2023 - 16:51

      can confirm seeing the same although

    • currentfad on 14/11/2023 - 16:56

      Same experience as you

    • tbone74 on 14/11/2023 - 18:32

      And now the transaction history shows the points as well.

  • firestint on 14/11/2023 - 17:24

    My bonus points finally came in today, ordered 6x $50 gift cards so 6000 bonus points in. Finally.

    • Reviewer21 on 14/11/2023 - 18:03

      Same here. Just posting so that others can hope to see their soon :)

  • tbone74 on 16/11/2023 - 21:56

    Looks like they're running the same promotion again. Deciding if it's worth another round…

    • HereToSave on 17/11/2023 - 10:10

      Not on any JB cards though 😢

      • tbone74 on 17/11/2023 - 10:42

        I'm thinking to convert points to flybuys dollars this time and buy some of the 15% discounted TCN cards from Coles next week. Assuming I can find any.

        • dealsgrabber on 17/11/2023 - 10:48

          Can we buy the TCN gift cards using Flybuys dollars?

          • tbone74 on 17/11/2023 - 10:57

            @dealsgrabber: It just gets processed as a card payment at the checkout so I believe we should be able to buy gift cards.

              +2

              @tbone74: In my experience (including when I tried last week), if you are purchasing a gift card at Coles and attempt to use Flybuys Dollars as a payment method, as soon as you swipe a Flybuys card on the EFTPOS terminal:

              • You will get an Invalid Product Mix error on the EFTPOS terminal screen.

              • If you are attempting this as a self checkout, you will also get a wall of text on the main checkout screen essentially telling you that you cannot use that payment method for at least one of the items you are trying to purchase.

                @WookieMonster: Thanks. Saved me the hassle if trying it myself.

                • WookieMonster on 17/11/2023 - 16:55

                  @tbone74: It is worth a try, because who knows whether someone at Coles will stuff up an IT change one day and accidentally allow you to use Flybuys Dollars in that scenario, but I am merely warning you that you will most likely be blocked!
