If you’ve ever found yourself wandering the aisles of Bunnings (and let’s be real, who hasn’t?), there’s good news that might make your next trip even sweeter.
A fresh update to the Flybuys loyalty program means you can now turn your points straight into instant savings at the checkout—no waiting around, no fiddling with gift cards, just real money off your next snag or set of garden tools.
Previously, if you wanted to use your Flybuys points at Bunnings, you had to jump through a few hoops: redeeming your points for a Bunnings gift card and then using that in-store.
Not exactly the most streamlined process, especially if you’re keen to nab a bargain on the spot.
But now, after a successful trial run in Western Australia (where the feedback was overwhelmingly positive), Bunnings and Flybuys have rolled out a new system nationwide.
You can now redeem your points directly at checkout, instantly knocking dollars off your bill.
No planning ahead, no waiting for a card in the mail—just scan your Flybuys code and watch the savings roll in.
It’s as easy as pie. When you’re ready to pay at Bunnings, simply scan your Flybuys card or app at the checkout.
If your bill is $10 or more, you’ll be given the option to use your points to reduce the total.
Every 2,000 points equals $10 off, and you can choose to redeem in set increments—starting at $10 and going up to $200 per transaction.
If you’re planning a big project and want to redeem more than $100 worth of points (or make multiple redemptions in a single day), you’ll just need to use a one-time code from the Flybuys app for added security.
It’s a small step for peace of mind, especially if you’re splashing out on a new barbecue or a shed upgrade.
For many of us, Flybuys points have been quietly accumulating from our weekly shops at Coles, First Choice Liquor Market, and Liquorland.
Now, those points can be put to good use at Bunnings, making it easier than ever to save on everything from paint to potting mix.
The trial in WA showed that 87% of shoppers found the new system easy to use, and 63 per cent said they’d be more likely to shop at Bunnings if they could use their points.
It’s a win-win: more flexibility for customers, and more reasons to pop into Bunnings for your next DIY adventure.
Don’t forget, you can also earn Flybuys points every time you shop at Bunnings—one point for every dollar spent.
Just remember, points aren’t awarded for gift card purchases, donations, services, or delivery charges.
But for most of your hardware and home improvement needs, you’ll be racking up points in no time.
Rachael McVitty, Bunnings’ chief customer officer, summed it up nicely: 'By strengthening our partnership with Flybuys, we aim to make shopping easier, more flexible, and more rewarding for our customers.'
And Deidre Boyle, Flybuys’ chief member experience officer, called the new system a 'game-changer' for shoppers who want flexibility and instant rewards.
For our Seniors Discount Club members, this is a golden opportunity to stretch your budget further—whether you’re sprucing up the garden, tackling a home repair, or just popping in for a browse (and maybe a cheeky sausage sizzle).
Every dollar saved is a dollar you can put towards something else you love.
