Flybuys is a large loyalty program with many partners apart from Coles. These partners sometimes have amazing promotions that will give you tens of thousands of flybuys points, which could be enough for a Virgin Australia Business Class flight or a few hundred dollars off your supermarket shop.
Here are some of the better promotions out there right now. This page will be updated regularly.
Earn up to 12 Flybuys points per litre of fuel at Coles Express
| Expiry: 31 May 2021 |
Fuelling up just became more rewarding, with the option to boost your flybuys points earn to 12 bonus points per litre of fuel, but only if you meet certain conditions.
Firstly, you must be opting-in to earning the standard 8 bonus points per litre with a Coles fuel docket, rather than the 4c/L off discount. More on that process can be found through this link (log-in required).
Then, to earn an extra 4 points per litre on top (bringing your total haul to 12 points per litre), you’ll need to do the following each month:
- Fuel up at least 80L at Coles Express
- Spend at least $10 in-store at Coles Express
- Scan your flybuys card with each transaction
If you meet the criteria, then you’ll score an extra 4 points on every litre of fuel purchased in that month. This offer runs from February to May, so you’ve got 4 months to boost your flybuys balance.
Don’t forget to later consider transferring your flybuys points to Velocity Frequent Flyer for greater rewards! Now, just 1,000 flybuys points will net you 500 Velocity Points, so you can fly away sooner.
130,000 flybuys points with HCF
| Expiry: 30 June 2021 |
Looking to get health insurance or change providers? HCF is teaming up with flybuys to offer up to 130,000 flybuys points on selected policies. That’s worth $650 at Coles Supermarkets, or perhaps could be converted to more than 65,000 Velocity Points down the track.
Policyholders will also be rewarded in the long term: flybuys members who join HCF can collect triple points on fresh fruit, vegetables and meat at every shop until 31 March 2022 (excludes deli products, nuts and dried fruit).
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 to a specific plan and stay connected for at least 3 months to get the bonus points. Most offers are for new Optus customers, but sometimes there are ‘legacy customer offers’ if you’re looking to re-contract.
Switch to Kleenheat gas
| Expiry: Ongoing |
Kleenheat has a longstanding partnership with flybuys with many ongoing offers. The current switching bonus is 10,000 flybuys points, and you also get 35% off natural gas usage for two years and the normal earn rate of 1 point per $1 spent on bills.

Recurring Coles challenge
| Expiry: Ongoing |
flybuys tries very hard to keep its members engaged, and one of its most popular deals is the four-week challenge at Coles. This runs a few times a year (the last one was October 2020).
Essentially, you will be given a target amount to spend at Coles for four weeks in a row, to 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.
Always choose the bonus points! It’s more flexible, you can convert it to Velocity Points, or you can still use it to get $50 off Coles shopping down the track if you decide to.

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, as it might not work out to earn more flybuys points on a product that is overpriced compared to its competitors.
But if the deal fits your needs, then it could give your flybuys balance an extra boost, and help you reach your travel goals sooner.
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.
