Flybuys Program Closing: Key Points for Users
The Flybuys program, a popular loyalty program in Australia, is shutting down in July 2023. This means that shoppers will no longer be able to earn and redeem Flybuys points.
Here's what you need to know about the program's closure and what it means for you:
Key Points for Flybuys Users:
- Your Flybuys points will expire on 30 June 2023. This means you have a limited time to use your points before they become worthless.
- You can still earn Flybuys points until 30 June 2023. You can continue to earn points at participating retailers, such as Coles, Kmart, and Target, until the program ends.
- You can redeem your points at participating retailers until 30 June 2023. This includes using your points for discounts on groceries, homewares, and other goods.
- Flybuys partners are switching to their own loyalty programs. This means that you will need to sign up for new loyalty programs at each participating retailer. For example, Coles is introducing a new program called Coles Rewards.
- There will be no refunds for Flybuys points. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get cash back for your points after the program ends.
How to Make the Most of Your Remaining Flybuys Points:
- Check your point balance. Log into your Flybuys account and see how many points you have.
- Plan your purchases. Use your remaining points for purchases you were planning to make anyway. This can be a great way to save money.
- Take advantage of bonus point offers. Flybuys may offer bonus point opportunities in the lead-up to the program closure.
- Look for limited-time offers. Some retailers may offer exclusive deals or discounts for Flybuys members.
- Consider redeeming your points for a gift card. This can be a good option if you don't have any immediate purchases in mind.
What Happens After 30 June 2023?
After the program ends, your Flybuys account will be closed and you will no longer be able to use your points. You will also no longer be able to earn points at participating retailers.
The Bottom Line:
While the closure of the Flybuys program is a bit of a bummer for shoppers, it's important to use your remaining points before they expire. Take advantage of this time to plan your purchases and potentially save some money.
Keep an eye out for communication from participating retailers about their new loyalty programs and how to sign up.
