Paid with points Flybuys card.

The Rewards Store
Think of the Rewards Store as a one-stop shop. Here, you can get points-paid experiences (like an Adrenaline Jet Boat Ride) or a last-minute gift (like this luxurious Ecoya Handwash, Cream & Soap set).

 

With over 3,000 products, the Rewards Store has something to suit every interest, hobby or season. Where else could you pick up a brand-new coffee machine and use your points to donate to your favourite charity? 

 

If you’re still building your Flybuys fortune, some items give you the option to use Points+Pay, so getting what you want is even more accessible. Keen to know more? Head to our guide on how to redeem products from the Rewards Store.

Gift cards
Looking to open up your Flybuys world even more? Gift cards are your answer. Give the gardener in your life a Bunnings gift card. Give your tricky-to-buy-for uncle a gift card for Him. Give your foodie friend a Good Food gift card. You can even treat yourself to a staycation with a Holiday & Hotel voucher. The choices are (almost) endless.

Velocity Frequent Flyer
Are you dreaming of a getaway? Velocity Points could be your ticket. For every 1,000 Flybuys points you collect, you can convert them to 500 Velocity Points to spend on great value tickets with Velocity Rewards Seats.   

 

You have two options: 

  1. Set and forget with Auto Transfer. We'll automatically convert every 1,000 Flybuys points in your account to 500 Velocity Points in your linked Velocity account. 
  2. Transfer the amount you want with Manual Transfer. You can transfer your points in multiples of 1,000. It's up to you!  

 

Whether heading to Byron or Bali, you can book points-paid flights across the Virgin Australian Domestic and International network. Then you just need to pack your bags.
