We started by scanning our database for members who show off the Flybuys attitude in all sorts of ways – not just the points-rich. After crunching the numbers, running opt-in surveys and doing rounds of interviews to learn more about them, we found 50 members who are stacking points like there’s no tomorrow. Our 50 members sent us in their snazzy selfies so we could put a face to the names, and 10 lucky members got to be a part of a fancy photoshoot. Think you’re Flybuys 50 material, too? Keep playing the points game and you could be in the running for 2023!
