Rewards
Initially, the only flybuys rewards were flights. However, this was extended by 1996 to include other rewards with a travel or leisure theme, such as accommodation, meals and entertainment. By 1999, a $100 Coles Myer shopping voucher reward was introduced, and general merchandise items followed. By 2009, most rewards taken were gift cards or credits to credit card balances and flights were a small proportion of rewards taken. According to flybuys, over ten million rewards have been redeemed by members and there are over 800 reward choices. In 2012, "flybuys Dollars" were introduced, allowing members to convert their points for use when paying for purchases at Coles, Kmart, Target, Liquorland, 1st Choice and Coles Express.

Famous quotes containing the word rewards:
“Not only do I disbelieve in the need for compensation, but I believe that the seeking for rewards and punishments out of this life leads men to a ruinous ignorance of the fact that their inevitable rewards and punishments are here.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“And soon it is neither here nor there
Whether time’s rewards are fair or unfair.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
