Introduction
Flybuys members love a good points boost, and the latest promotion from TCN (The Currency Network) makes it easy to earn extra rewards while you shop. For a limited time, selected TCN gift cards give you bonus Flybuys points: 600 points on a $30 card, 1,000 points on a $50 card, or 2,000 points on a $100 card. In this guide we break down exactly how to claim the bonus, why it matters, and tips to maximise your points haul.
How the Bonus Works
The promotion is straightforward:
- Buy a qualifying TCN gift card through the Flybuys portal or a partnered retailer.
- The card’s face value (e.g., $30, $50, $100) automatically triggers a bonus points credit.
- Points are added to your Flybuys account within 24‑48 hours of purchase.
All you need is a valid Flybuys number linked to the payment method used for the purchase.
Step‑by‑Step Guide to Claiming the Bonus
1. Sign in to Your Flybuys Account
Visit flybuys.com.au and log in. If you don’t have an account, registration takes under a minute.
2. Navigate to the ‘Gift Cards & Rewards’ Section
Under the “Earn Points” menu, select “Gift Cards”. Look for the TCN banner that displays the bonus offer.
3. Choose Your Desired Card Value
Pick $30, $50, or $100. The page will clearly show the bonus points you’ll receive next to each value.
4. Complete the Purchase
Pay using a linked credit/debit card or Flybuys points (if you have enough). You’ll receive an email receipt and a digital gift‑card code.
5. Verify Your Bonus Points
Log back into Flybuys after 24 hours. The bonus points should appear under “Points Summary”. If they don’t, contact Flybuys support with your receipt number.
Why the Bonus Is Worth It
Besides the obvious points boost, the promotion offers several hidden advantages:
- Higher effective value – 600 bonus points on a $30 card translates to a 2% instant discount on future Flybuys purchases.
- Stackable with other offers – You can still use existing Flybuys deals (e.g., double points on groceries) alongside the TCN bonus.
- Flexibility – The digital gift card can be used at hundreds of online and in‑store retailers that accept TCN, giving you spending freedom.
Tips to Maximise Your Points
- Buy during peak promotion periods. Flybuys often doubles points on certain categories; combine those with the TCN bonus for triple value.
- Use a Flybuys‑linked credit card. Some cards earn additional Flybuys points per dollar spent, boosting your total even more.
- Gift the card to a friend. You’ll still retain the bonus points, and the recipient gets a ready‑to‑use shopping voucher.
- Track expiration dates. Flybuys points generally expire after 18 months of inactivity; plan redemption before they lapse.
Common Questions
Can I combine multiple TCN cards for a larger bonus?
Yes. If you purchase two $50 cards, you’ll receive 2 × 1,000 = 2,000 bonus points, plus the standard points earned on each purchase.
Is the bonus limited to Australian residents?
The promotion is currently available to members with an Australian Flybuys account and a local payment method.
What if the points don’t appear?
Contact Flybuys support via the “Help” section, quoting your receipt and Flybuys number. Most issues are resolved within 48 hours.
Conclusion
Bonus points on selected TCN gift cards provide a quick, low‑effort way to bulk up your Flybuys balance. By following the simple steps above and leveraging the extra tips, you can turn a $30‑$100 spend into a points windfall that pays for future groceries, travel, or retail purchases. Act fast—these offers are time‑limited and can disappear as quickly as they appear.
