The Flybuys 50 gives us an opportunity to celebrate some of our most engaged members, and gives them a platform to share their secrets to success so others can experience more value. We started our nationwide search by looking 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 sent us in their snazzy selfies so we could put faces to the names, and 10 lucky members got to be 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 2024!
