Gift cards are a good option for a present when you're not sure what the recipient would really like. They also offer an easy way to earn extra frequent flyer points.
Both Coles' Flybuys and Woolworths' Everyday Rewards regularly offer bonus points when you buy gift cards at those supermarkets. Gift cards for the offers span fashion, entertainment, travel, food and more.
A typical deal offers 1,000 or 2,000 bonus points with a gift card purchase. Often the deal will also be tied to a specific card value. $50 or $100 are the most common options.
2,000 Flybuys points convert to 870 Velocity Points, while 2,000 Everyday Rewards points convert to 1,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points.
Gift cards tied to a specific store usually don't have a fee (unlike generic gift credit cards, which often do). They're generally more flexible than single purpose cards such as Netflix, Google Play or Uber, because they can be used for a wider range of gift purchases.
Supermarkets sell a huge range of gift cards. Here's a list of the brands we've seen featuring bonus points offers. (That doesn't guarantee that they'll do so again, but it's fairly likely.)
We've also broken out the different stores included in the "Ultimate" gift card range, which can be used at multiple retailers and which often feature in bonus point deals. Indeed, this is the main way you can score bonus gift card points for shopping at some major retailers, including JB Hi-Fi and David Jones.
