Save Money and Earn Points this Holiday Season using Loyalty Cards

Are you leaving points on the table? As Christmas and the season for spending is just around the corner, now is the smart time to sign up for those loyalty cards you’ve been kindly denying retail assistants of in the past.

We know the festive season is a time for spending, so we’ve rounded up seven of the best reward systems in the country that will help you get discounts and save away.

Buy your loved ones presents this Christmas without having to dive deep into your savings, as these reward systems will help you every step of the way by giving back.

Say Hello Rewards!

Multiple Stores with Flybuys

If you haven’t signed already up, we highly suggest one of Australia’s most loved loyalty programs, Flybuys. If you frequent Coles, Shell Coles Express, Liquorland, Kmart, First Choice Liquor Market, Target, My Car, First Choice Liquor and Optus (who doesn’t?), then Flybuys is going to help you save your money this Christmas.

The usual conversion is every $1 spent in those selected stores (and more found on the website) will grant you 1 point. This means with every 2,000 points earnt you will receive $10 to redeem on your flybuys app to spend either in-store or online at the participating stores.

But wait, it gets better. Flybuys members can also add more than one person to their card, making spending and earning more points easier. If you don’t want to redeem your points at the selected stores, easily turn them into velocity points (known as Virgin Airlines) for hotels, escapes, and flights! Or, shop away on Flybuys rewards store with over 1,000 products to choose from, where you can combine your income and points to purchase a product.

Myer with Myer One

Calling all Myer shoppers. This is your ticket to saving and receiving credit rewards within one of Australia’s most beloved department stores. Each time you spend $1 in Myer, you will receive 2 credit points, so if you spend $1,000 in return, you’ll earn 2,000 points and receive a $20 reward to spend online or in-store.

In other words, on each purchase, you’ll get 2% back. Climb your way up the ranks of silver, gold and platinum and be rewarded with birthday gift cards and free shipping on deliveries. But, be mindful that points expire 2 years from the date they were issued.

Woolworths with Everyday Rewards

For every dollar spent at Woolworths and its partners BWS, Big W, Bupa, Ampol, Caltex, Super Pharmacy, Origin and more, you will earn 1 point every time you scan. For every 2,000 everyday reward points collected, you’ll receive a $10 reward to spend on a future shop, or you can choose to convert these to Qantas frequent flyer points instead.

You can do this by linking your frequent flyer number with your everyday rewards account. Enjoy Woolworths everyday rewards at 200 selected Caltex fuel sites, where you’ll pocket a 4c per litre fuel discount once you’ve spent $30 in one transaction at Woolworths supermarkets.

Telstra with Telstra Plus

Selected banks with CommBank Rewards & NAB Rewards

Save on your electronic devices this Christmas season by joining Telstra Plus, starting off on their member status. You’ll receive discounted tickets and points from each transaction by joining, earning 10 Telstra Plus points per $1 spent.

Redeem your well-deserved points on the Telstra Plus Rewards store and choose from phones, watches, plans, gaming and more. Get pre-sale access to concert tickets and discounted movie tickets starting from $12.50 with this reward system.

Selected banks with CommBank Rewards & NAB Rewards

Have you thought of using your bank’s reward system? For those with Commonwealth, log into your account and select CommBank Rewards underneath the For You section to activate your rewards. Within the app, participating stores with their minimum required spend are shown on a list, and if you oblige by using your debit card at the specific store, you’ll receive cashback into your account.

It’s a win-win. CommBank Rewards will also tailor it for you by sending shopping rewards based on your previous card spending’s. However, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal aren’t eligible for this reward system. Bank members can also track how much they’ve saved using the CommBank Rewards system to see their big and overall savings. If you’re with NAB, now is the right time of the year to apply for the NAB Rewards credit card. Once applied, you will become automatically enrolled into the program and able to earn points on purchases. You can use the card in partner stores such as Myer, David Jones, Kmart, Big W, Bunnings Warehouse and Mitre 10, where each $1 spent will earn your reward card 1 point. For Myer, for example, once you’ve reached 4,810 points, you’ll get a $25 gift card to spend at the department store!

However, you can always redeem your points on travel through Webjet on flights, hotels, and packages or in multiples of 3,000, which can be converted into flying points with their selected four airlines. Points can also be redeemed with NAB’s homewares and electronics!
