Coles Flybuys
Flybuys is Australia’s most popular loyalty program. Earn points when you spend at some of the largest household names including Coles, Target, First Choice Liquor, Liquorland, Kmart, Best Western hotels and many more.
The number of points you can accumulate differs according to which company you are shopping with. However, the method is the same – just hand over your Flybuys card for the shop assistant to swipe and earn away.
To apply for a Flybuys card, head to the website and sign up. Your card will be sent to you in the mail and you’ll then have to activate it online. It’s a very simple process. Once your card is activated, just swipe away to accumulate as many points as possible.
The website has categorised all rewards so it’s easier for you to find what you would like to claim. It also tells you how many points you need in order to claim a particular item.
