When saving money, it’s important to keep a few tricks up your sleeve. But with all the discounts and rewards available, it can be tough to know where to begin.

If you’re a frequent flyer, listen up! Here's an incredibly sneaky way to score a free Virgin flight simply by buying an iPhone at Coles.

Here’s how it works.

As you may know, Coles has a loyalty program called Flybuys, where you earn points that can be used for rewards like gift cards and flight discounts.

Right now, there's an amazing promotion happening—buy Apple Gift Cards at Coles between November 1st and November 7th, and you'll get 20 times the value of the card back in Flybuys points!

The promotion allows you to earn a maximum of 50,000 bonus points daily. To earn those points, you need to purchase $2,500 in Apple Gift Cards (or five $500 cards).

Many shoppers collect Flybuys points so they can spend them on their future purchases but many don’t realise that these points can also be converted to minimise holiday expense.

Here is the real trick—convert those Flybuys points into Velocity points, and you can redeem them for Virgin flights!

50,000 Flybuys points become 25,000 Velocity points—enough for a one-way flight from Brisbane to Perth. The conversion provides so much more value compared to using Flybuys for the usual $10 off vouchers.

Now, $2,500 is a huge amount, so this tactic might not suit everyone. But if you were planning a big purchase, like looking to buy a new iPhone or MacBook, it's a clever way to make it count.

The new iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB costs around $2,199. Pair that with a $500 gift card, and you've got yourself a very nice tech upgrade, plus a free cross-country flight!

Flybuys, brought to you by Coles, helps you turn your everyday spending into potential opportunities for travel and more.

With a vast catalogue of partner companies including Coles, Target, and Kmart, just to name a few, your weekly grocery bill could potentially turn into your next holiday.

The awarded Flybuys points can be converted into a multitude of rewards, from discounts on fuel to bigger splurges like electronics, gym memberships, or an immersive dining experience.

Meanwhile, Virgin Australia’s Velocity Points are all about enhancing your travel experience.

With Velocity, the points you accumulate can secure you exclusive travel benefits, including free Virgin Australia flights.

• From November 1 to November 7, shoppers can earn 20 times the face value in Flybuys points for every Apple gift card they purchase.

We have saved up our Flybuys and transferred them to Virgin Velocity and have just booked two flights Sydney to Rome, Rome to Perth and Perth to Sydney for August/September next year.
In 2018 I flew business class to Paris using my Flybuys/Velocity.
We never convert them to the $10 off grocery offers.
