Coles' new Flybuys policy aims to ease financial burden for shoppers
- Replies 36
As the cost of living rises, many Australians feel the pinch when managing their household budgets.
Amid the crisis, good news is on the horizon for savvy shoppers.
One of the country's leading supermarkets announced a new initiative that could significantly reduce your weekly spending.
Coles introduced the $10 Flybuys redeem scheme, a program designed to provide immediate relief to Australians facing budget stress.
This initiative allows Flybuys members to save $10 off their next in-store purchase at Coles supermarkets, Liquorland, and First Choice Market stores.
Flybuys members need at least 2000 Flybuys points in their account to use this offer.
Once shoppers hit the 2000-point mark, they will be eligible to redeem the $10 discount.
Before applying the discount, shoppers must spend a minimum of $10 in-store.
The discount is not a one-off; shoppers can use it once a day in each of the three stores.
That means if you're a member with 6000 points, you could enjoy a $10 discount at Coles, then head over to Liquorland and First Choice Market to redeem another $10 at each store on the same day.
The scheme had successful trials in selected states and is now rolled out to stores nationwide.
Flybuys members can earn points on purchases at various stores, including Coles, Coles Express, First Choice Liquor Market, Kmart, Liquorland, Officeworks, Target, and mycar.
Once members reach 2000 points, they can convert them into Flybuys Dollars at checkout.
The new scheme simplifies the process, allowing points to be redeemed instantly without conversion.
For those who need to reach the 2000-point mark, Coles offers bonus points on selected items to help you get there faster.
Shoppers can earn 10-times bonus points on all mince meat purchases until Tuesday, June 11.
Shoppers can also earn 10-times bonus points on a selected range of grocery items until Tuesday, June 25.
Additionally, customers can claim 5-times bonus points on cold and flu medicine like Panadol, Nurofen, Betadine, Vicks, Difflam, Swisse, and Cenovis until July 23.
Coles' Chief Customer Officer Amanda McVay expressed the company's commitment to helping customers manage their budgets effectively.
'We know making the most out of their weekly shop through Flybuys is important to our customers,' McVay said.
'We are excited to offer an instant $10 off for in-store purchases to give them a simpler way to redeem points at the checkout.'
'Millions of Flybuys members currently hold balances of more than 2,000 points, and we're making it easier than ever for them to redeem these points for money off their in-store shop,' she concluded.
Loyalty programs offer more than just points; they can provide real benefits that keep finances in check.
This new Flybuys redemption scheme is a welcome development for Australians looking to ease their budget concerns.
So, next time you're at Coles or one of the participating stores, swipe your Flybuys card and take a step towards a more affordable shopping experience.

I've been using it for years. I usually let my points accumulate before using it.
