People can earn flybuys points from purchasing of ebay.

So what do people think of the fact people can now earn flybuys points from buying items from ebay.

Do you think this is a good thing? Do you think this will increase your sales?

You can't earn them if you win an auction with bid sniping tool, you also can't go to google or click on any link or you don't get them. I suggest people read the T's & C's carefully

If you pay with a Coles mastercard that give Flybuys points then you earn them that way.

The downside to that is that the Coles mastercard treats all paypal payments as overseas transactions because it is an American company.

Any points you earn for small transactions would be eaten up in the extra fees.

You have to buy via the flybuys eshops website.

edit.. after signing in to flybuys on their eshops website, you get directed to ebay site

I don't understand how you would associate your flybuys card number with an ebay transaction.

Is there somewhere you enter it at the time you make a purchase?

I just edited my post.above.

You have to sign into flybuys on the flybuys eshop site, then you can choose to get directed to the ebay site (there are other retaliers on the site as well).

Ah! OK that starts to make some sense.

As long as you click onto the ebay site from the flybuys eshop site and don't leave ebay and make a purchase then your card will get credited the appropriate points if elligible.

That's why it says in the T&C's if you leave the site before making your purchase it may not work.

It sounds quite convoluted and I doubt it would persuade many people to buy on here although anything that drives traffic to my listings is to be commended! I think the nectar points one in the UK works quite well.

Ok with Coles knowing what groceries or Target carp I buy. Heck, they might even get in more of the things I like. But knowing anything about me outside of that, no thanks, def not worth the few cents towards a $10 voucher. No way.

Clarry, what I am talking about has nothing to do with your flubuys number.

If you use a Coles mastercard that is connected to your flybuys number you get points for every transaction you pay on that mastercard.

You actually get triple points for every transaction.

So far this year I have redeemed $700 worth of points and have a further $400 available.

Flybuys using a Coles Mastercard can be worth 1-1½ percent of your spend in value terms. So the price you pay for any item has to be competitive and if overseas transaction charges apply, the benefit value is wiped out. The small print T n Cs are very important as quite often its just a legalised scam and you gain NOTHING....imo

There's no such thing as a free lunch as the saying goes.

We just use our flybuys card at outlets that accept it for our day-to-day stuff and clock up the points that way.

Just recently I converted my points into $$$ and it paid for our weekly grocery trolley at Coles.

But that took me about 2-years to clock up those points. I think it was $10 per 2,000 points.

My credit card is 100% fee free and I never go into interest at all so yes you need to read the fine print because you might end up paying more for the points than their face value in fees & interest etc. My credit card has its own separate points system too independent of flybuys. So about every two years on that we can get a $500 Myer card to use from those points. We try to time it for a Xmas so we get something from Santa. LOL

You only get Flybuy points on the sale value of the product - NOT on postage/freight costs - despite Ebay charging fees and attempting to justify that charge, on the postage/freight.

If it's good eough to charge fees on- then why isn't it good enough to pass on a few meagre Flybuy points on postage/freight?

Perhaps we should all hit the Flybuys Facebook page with this question?

You can also earn Qantas points and Velocity rewards by using ebay as well 🙂

Is this spam????? Nothing found on either flybuys or ebay

Re: People can earn flybuys points from purchasing of ebay.

davewil1964 — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 22:38:12 GMT

It is there, apparently.

Although I doubt the responses on this 3 YEAR old thread are current today.

Not spam.....as I have said on 2 other current threads.

I had the offer in my Flybuys account and I joined from there rather than through the email. It was just 2 clicks of the mouse to complete the joinup.

IMO it is not a very good offer....you only get 1 point for every $2 spent and you wait about 4 weeks for the points to appear but as it costs nothing I thought there was no harm done if I got very few points.
