Entertaining
Whether you prefer a classic dinner party or a picnic in the park, there’s lots to think about when it comes to entertaining. You’ve got to consider the weather and dietary requirements, guests and games (Finska, anyone?). But if there’s one thing Tassie mum and Flybuys 50 member Diana has sorted, it’s her serving ware. Thanks to Flybuys benefits and handy Coles promotions, she’s always prepped for a party. She scored a set of MasterChef steak knives and beautiful glassware, which make at-home entertaining a breeze. She even got top notch picnicware, which makes the most elaborate picnic a walk in the park. Now, Diana can pull together a party quicker than you can say “Cheers!”. In a festive mood? Get the top tips on how to score more points on your next dinner party.
Gifting
Choosing the right gift can be a rocky road – especially if you’re in “distant relative” or “colleague” territory. Luckily, Flybuys 50 member Jenny has a points-paid present hack she’s willing to share: gift cards. This savvy shopper boosts her Flybuys fortune by activating weekly-shop offers and scanning at Flybuys partner stores, so she’s always got some points ready to redeem for gift cards. You’ll find her handing them out at Easter, birthdays or just because. So far, she’s treated her nieces, daughter and neighbour to gift cards. Even the lady down the street knows how Jenny puts the “gift” in “gift cards”. Want to get your own thoughtful, points-paid pressies?

Travelling
Travelling Need a dose of the tropics during the dead of winter? Planning an interstate adventure for a long weekend or the school holidays? Maybe it’s time to book a getaway and leave your everyday stresses at home? Air traffic controller and Flybuys 50 member Antony knows a thing or two about the benefits of piling points sky high. He keeps an eye out for bonus offers and taps his Coles Rewards Mastercard every chance he gets. He also set up Auto Transfer to turn his Flybuys points into Velocity Frequent Flyer Points. Much to his wife’s delight, Antony booked return flights to Fiji for a babymoon, all paid for with points. If you’re ready to kickstart your points and get jet-setting sooner, here’s how Auto Transfer can do all the heavy lifting for you.
Hosting
There’s nothing quite like an Aussie Christmas. Summer heat, backyard cricket, a dip in the pool and a long lunch, capped off with the silly-season pavlova. Few do an extended holiday lunch quite like father of six and Flybuys 50 member Shane. He consistently taps into his personalised weekly bonus offers and saves his points over the year. When December rolls around, he redeems them for Flybuys Dollars, so he can get money off those wonderful, once-a-year groceries. It’s about playing the Flybuys long game for an extra special extended family lunch. Shane’s all about decking the halls with loads of points. If this sounds like you, here’s how to get reward fit for the holiday season.
However you like to celebrate life’s little moments, your points can help you get there. Start stacking them up and soon you’ll be giving gift cards like Jenny, entertaining like Diana, jetsetting like Antony or hosting a special Christmas lunch like Shane.
