    Has anyone here had anything good off Flybuys

    I've been saving these things really had and all I've got to was some crummy movie tickets and shit before they expire.....

    Has anyone here gotten any of the good stuff from their catalogue?

    I get my gas for the bike and two cars from shell (bout $120 a week), wife shops at their chemist and we get stuff from their other retailers too. I feel a bit ripped off. Are these points schemes a rip or what?

    Had good stuff from hotpoints and airpoints but this flybuys stuff seems like a hard graft.

    Wife got Breville Breadmaker. Fresh bread on a free breadmaker - not bad at all.

    Get good brand name stuff. Not bargain price by any means, but better than just sitting on the points.

    Sweet FA.

    Eventually saved up enough for some bottles of wine. The vouchers never arrived - bastards...
    Phoned up and complained and they said "fuck all we can do about it".

    "Loyalty cards" are a waste of space...

    Got a Philips DVD player which is fine and converted a whole lot to Air NZ Airpoints and we love holidays. Can't complain.
    Cheers

    We got a Breville grill thing like a George Foreman type thing. It is awesome!!! Does a beaut steak in like 5 mins, but great for all meats really. Got a cordless drill from them too, pretty good and a ton of other shit, just pick the brands or go and check it out in the shop first if you can.

    Yeah, it is a bit of a bitch to clean, those sponges are good, they don't tend to last too long, but still better than nothing aye.
