Flybuys is Australia’s most extensive loyalty program with many partners. These partners sometimes have strong promotions that will nab you tens of thousands of Flybuys Points – which could be enough to score serious rewards, ranging from money off your shop to reward flights with Virgin Australia and its partners.
Recurring Coles challenge: 10,000 Flybuys points
| Last seen: Activate and shop in the first week by 9 March 2025 |
One of Flybuys’ most popular offers runs a few times a year. Earn 10,000 bonus Flybuys points when you meet a targeted minimum spend over four weeks. Check your Flybuys app regularly to see if you’ve received one – the latest offer requires activation and completion of the first week’s shop by 9 March 2025.
Essentially, you’ll be given a target amount to spend at Coles for four weeks in a row. Reach this target and earn 10,000 bonus Flybuys points or $50 off your next Coles shop. The target amount usually ranges from $40 to $120 a week, depending on how much you’ve spent previously.
Our hot tip? Always choose the bonus points! They’re way more flexible. You can convert these bonus points to 5,000 Velocity Points, or use them to get $50 off Coles shopping down the track if you decide to. You should also alternate using different Flybuys accounts with other household members (if applicable), so you can be targeted for a lower spend in the future.
Sign up for an Optus Plan
| Expiry: Ongoing |
Optus offers bonus Flybuys points on many plans covering phones, handsets, home broadband and mobile broadband. The offers available may change without notice and be targeted at specific members.
In general, you’ll need to sign up for a specific plan and stay connected for at least three months to score the bonus points. Most offers are for new Optus customers, but sometimes there are ‘legacy customer offers’ if you’re looking to re-contract.

Summing up
Big Flybuys points offers can be found with its various partners – especially the bigger companies that want you to sign-up for an ongoing service.
Be sure to check the promotion terms and conditions carefully and shop around with other providers. It mightn’t always work in your favour to earn more Flybuys points on a product that’s overpriced compared to its competitors.
But if the deal fits your needs, then it could give your Flybuys balance an extra boost, which will help you reach those coveted travel goals sooner.

You’d have to buy the cards over more than one sale, of course, but the added benefit is that if you want you can “mix and match” points, so you could buy some gift cards from Woolies (Qantas points) and some from Coles (Velocity points). I’ve also found that if you do the purchase via Velocity’s e-store, you’ll still receive the bonus points from the e-store as well.
Last week one staff member in a certain Coles store went mental when I attempted to buy just $250 worth of Ultimate gift cards (5 cards to max out the promo of 2,000 Flybuys / 1,000 Velocity points per $50 card). Whereas my wife went through the same process in a different store and nobody was concerned at all.
Only saying…be ready to sweet talk…or visit several stores!
Incidentally Everyday Rewards is offering bonuses on a strategy of bonus points on certain items you have a history of buying in Woolworths.
By harvesting these Coles offers as a household team of two (in our case) we are amassing significant numbers of FlyBuys which we divert to Virgin (easily 10,000 to 20,000 Velocity point per month) on our regular grocery shop alone.
There’s a lot more smarts to this than your article (useful as it is) suggests…;)
We are aware that Coles bonus offers are dynamic and can be targeted. Indeed, one of her previous articles explains ways to reduce the spending threshold, including using different member cards as you suggest.
In this guide you’re commenting on, we regularly update it with new offers. The 10,000/4 week challenge does recur periodically for everyone, hence why we keep it here. As you correctly say, it also sometimes appears targeted to individuals. But this page covers the offer when it’s available to everyone 🙂
Most excellent! Great work! Incidentally, “Point Hacks” is humming…:)
It took only a few years to earn 500000 points, and last 2 years to earn but not quite reached 600000.
The once generous earning opportunities have and are continuously dwindling.
It is still the easiest and best value for money. Loyalty cards available to earn and when I find that one item, the current Point/$$ value will be well worth it, and FREE.
Now all Flybuys need to do is revert back to the last Webpage system, as this current version is absolute rubbish.
