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:
“Any time you take a chance you better be sure the rewards are worth the risk because they can put you away just as fast for a ten dollar heist as they can for a million dollar job.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“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)
“A pregnant woman and her spouse dream of three babies—the perfect four-month-old who rewards them with smiles and musical cooing, the impaired baby, who changes each day, and the mysterious real baby whose presence is beginning to be evident in the motions of the fetus.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
