FLYBUYS are similar to Tesco clubcard. You shop at certain supermarkets & stores or petrol stations and you gain flybuy points. They have a brochure of items you can buy with the flybuy points you accumulate.

Probably easiest just to check out the Fly Buys website.

Here is where you can collect points. We got points when we closed on our mortgage.

However, you do need to have bought the entire contents of a branch of New World and have 34 Mortgages before you can get enough points for a free Moro Bar...

top tip to get lots of points from flybuys:

Hang around Noel Leemings (Electrics & Electronic Store) and ask random customers if they mind using your card so you can get points. Not kidding. Personally i think that *could* be one step up from begging...though still a very good idea.

A friend of mine used to do it when we were students. He used to have so much stuff. I was jealous of that wafflemaker and electric toothbrush hehe

Every time we get a statement I look at the brochure to see what we can get and then go 'oh stuff it', I'll wait til we have more points.......six months go by...... 'Oh stuff it I think I'll wait a bit longer'........three years later.... tum te tum...... still can't decide whether I should go for a new kettle or a toaster.

We are just about to spend ours for the first time in 3 years. Mrs V did express interest in said pasta maker but I'm looking at a couple of camping lamps.
Has anyone ever earned enough points to actually fly anywhere?

I believe for 410 points you can fly from Auckland to Wellington - Yes a whole $119 dollar value (Woooooooo!) Has anyone had enough points to leave the country? Maybe Maz's mortgage would have gotten her to Sydney
