If you like the idea of topping up your Flybuys account with a few hundred points at a time and you have some moments to spare, then surveys might just be the answer.
Flybuys partners with Pureprofile Perks, a leader in consumer research and data. Members can access surveys through the Flybuys app or website, which rewards them with Flybuys points. Of course, Flybuys also benefits from this partnership, with access to its own database for future marketing and product improvements.
Flybuys will be able to utilise Pureprofile technology to create its own research community, where the data provided by members will help identify potential improvements and develop new products and services.
– Anna Meiler, Pureprofile Head of Sales, 4 May 2021
It’s a similar partnership to Velocity Frequent Flyer and e-Rewards, which offers bonus Velocity Points when members complete surveys. However, that partnership has a complex points-earning system compared to Flybuys.
How do I earn Flybuys points with Pureprofile Perks surveys?
Once you’re registered with Pureprofile Perks, it’s easy to earn some bonus points.
- Head to the Flybuys website or app and look for the ‘Surveys’ section (on the Flybuys app, this is under the ‘Offers’ tab.)
- Click on ‘View Surveys’ under Pureprofile Perks.
- If you’re new, answer some questions about your demographics.
- If you’re eligible for a survey, the results will now appear along with the number of bonus points.
- Bonus points will be credited to your account within 48 hours.
In the example above, one of the surveys offers 750 Flybuys points in exchange for 25 minutes of your time. The bonus points on offer and the length of the surveys will vary. So, it’s up to you to decide what surveys are worth tackling.
Summing up
Surveys can be quite time-consuming, so this isn’t the best avenue if you’re purely chasing Flybuys points. But if you are interested in market research or sharing your opinions, then these can be a good way to use up some time and also top-up your Flybuys points balance while you’re at it.

Never eligible for points, even after completing a full survey, scammy
The surveys on the fly by app I just a joke they block.you all you complete the surveys and don’t get played it complete half the surveys and they fail or they just go badly wrong they have no respect you do not get a response from them on anything you and they don’t pay you properly to me there just a scam and have no respect I want to know why there aren’t any better survey companies on there because the two you got are the worst ones in the world they don’t improve they just get worse and worse up no one does anything about it especially fire by company they don’t take any responsibility and that’s a shame they always email on how good they surveys companies are but they don’t take any actions and put better survey companies to do the right thing and pay people he got millions of people complaining but no do anything about it
I agree these sites are scammers committing data theft!
They should be in prison for their crimes!
I said a message to flybuy and they said they have nothing to do with peanut Labs or pureprofile surveys so they pretty much lied that their partners with them and they’re just as bad because they do nothing about all the complaints I’ve seen millions of complaints on different sites but when it comes down to it long as they get paid from the profile surveys they don’t care about other people don’t just keep pocketing money the bad mistakes under Truong profits before people it doesn’t matter that bass criminate against colour or racist engender long as I get money that’s all it matters
Pure profile perks is very SNEAKY, I spent 20 minutes to complete the whole survey, and then they told me I’m not eligible, same happened to the second survey which I took 15 minutes. Overall, 35 minutes spent on two surveys for nothing. The question is why you asked me so many questions which literally took me 20 minutes to answer all of them and yet I’m not eligible.
In the recent past FlyBuys have been very SNEAKY with surveys which promise points for your opinion. I completed a long survey and at the end after completion and successful submission, a message came up saying the survey was expired! So basically FlyBuys took my thoughts anyway, but didn’t pay up.
Which begs the question of why they had it as ‘live’. Nothing at all indicated it was ‘expired’. Not impressed by that sneaky experience and I haven’t bothered with them since.
