If you already have a Flybuys account or are considering signing up, this guide will teach you how you can earn more Flybuys points with a credit card and discuss the pros and cons of using a Flybuys credit card.
Offer ends 31 January 2021
Eligibility criteria, terms and conditions, fees and charges apply
Reward your spending with Flybuys points and save with 0% interest on balance transfers and purchases for the first 12 months.
Currently, Coles and Citi are the only credit card issuers that offer products that let you directly earn Flybuys points on your eligible everyday purchases. When you get one of these credit cards, your credit card account is linked to your Flybuys account and Flybuys points are directly credited for eligible transactions charged to the card. The number of Flybuys points you earn per $1 spent, or your earn rate, ranges from 0.5 point per $1 spent on the Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard to up to 2 points per $1 spent on the Coles Rewards Mastercard. The more common and median earn rate is 1 Flybuys point per $1 spent.
However, you can also earn extra (or double) Flybuys points by tapping your Flybuys membership card at the checkout at the same time. With your Flybuys membership card, you earn 1 point per $1 spent, which means that if you use a Coles Rewards Mastercard and tap your Flybuys card when making a purchase, you will earn 3 Flybuys points per $1 spent.
The requirements pertaining to card membership, additional cardholders and eligible transactions differ with each credit card and card provider, so follow the individual credit card links to learn more about each card, its features and eligibility requirements.
In the same way that you’d track and manage the Flybuys points earned using a Flybuys loyalty card, the Flybuys points earned with your credit card can be accessed and redeemed online via the Flybuys website. Simply sign in to your Flybuys account, shop for your rewards and follow the prompts to finalise your redemption. You can redeem Flybuys points for credit off your next shop, or for merchandise, entertainment tickets, flights and hotels, and even transfer them to partner frequent flyer programs like Velocity Frequent Flyer. Alternatively, you may request a redemption by calling the Flybuys service centre at 13 11 16.
In general, the Flybuys program offers a competitive way to be rewarded for your daily expenses. Using a Flybuys credit card on top of that can double or triple your earn rate to maximise your rewards. However, make sure that you compare your options and ensure that the costs of the card don’t outweigh the Flybuys perks before you apply.

I belong to Virgin Velocity and also Coles Flybuys and I would like to know how I transfer points from Flybuys to Virgin, thanks.
Hi Janice,
Thanks for your question.
To convert your Flybuys points to Velocity Frequent Flyer points, you need to link your memberships through this page.
Once successfully linked, you can already transfer your Flybuys points to Velocity Points by visiting the rewards section on the Flybuys website.

How do I t/f points into money off my next Coles bill. Can you do this for me?
Hi Tess,
Thanks for your question.
Just to confirm, you have come through to finder.com.au, not Coles or flybuys. As such, we’re unable to access or manage your flybuys account.
You can get money off your next Coles shop by following these instructions:
1. Make sure you are signed into your account before turning your points into flybuys Dollars.
2. Once you’re logged in to your online account, click ‘Redeem Now’ and complete the requested info – including your 4-digit PIN.
3. Select how many points you want to convert into flybuys Dollars.
4. Present your flybuys card when you’re next at Coles, let the team member at the checkout know you’d like to pay with flybuys Dollars. Enter the amount of flybuys Dollars you’d like to spend, swipe your card and enter your PIN.
I’ve sent you an email with the link to the flybuys sign in page.
I hope this has helped answer your question.
Thanks,
Sally
Can I pay part debit and part flybuy points through webjet or Travelworld for flights?
Hi Tiara, thanks for your inquiry!
Part payments with flybuys points and card are eligible with Webjet. It would be best to contact Travelworld directly as transactions/ flight bookings are made through a travel agent.

how many flybuys do I need to fly return to melbourne From cairns
Hi Christine, thanks for your inquiry!
The flybuys points required for a return flight to Melbourne from Cairns varies from approximately 30,000 points economy to 280,000 points for business flights. It would be best to check on the Webjet Travel website, who is the official flight partner with flybuys. On the website you can enter your desired flight and have the fares displayed in flybuys points.
