I purchased the same product using this deal back in early October. I headed to the nearest Officeworks, showed them the Costco pricing, and they agreed to price beat it by 5%, bringing the price down to $1833.49. (I’m a bit worried they might ask to see my Costco membership, but they never did.)
I also have a OnePass membership, which gives members 5 points per $1 spent in-store at Officeworks. As a result, I received bonus 7332 points.
Additionally, I activated the “Collect 10x Points” offer, which I received 16,497 points during my purchase in early October.
This deal is back and MIGHT BE TARGETED, as shown in my Flybuys account. It appears as follows:
Collect 10x points when you shop at Officeworks between Nov 21st and Dec 2nd, 2024.
1. The offer is available only at Officeworks from Thursday, Nov 21st to Monday, Dec 2nd, 2024 (Offer Period). To qualify, you must be a Flybuys member, activate the offer, shop at Officeworks during the Offer Period, and present your Flybuys card in-store or enter your Flybuys number on the Officeworks website at the time of purchase. Standard points of 1 point per $1 spent will be allocated to your account within 48 hours. Bonus points will be allocated within 4 weeks of the offer end date.
2. The 10x points is equal to 1 standard point plus 9 bonus points per $1 spent. You have been specifically selected for this offer, and it is not transferable.
So, basically, anyone who receives this targeted offer from Flybuys and has their OnePass membership active will reduce the total cost of the phone to $1705.49.
Here’s the breakdown:
* Actual phone purchase price: $1833.49
* Flybuys points from purchase: 1833 Flybuys points
* OnePass linked member bonus points 5X: 7332 Flybuys points (4X bonus points apart from standard points)
* Flybuys bonus points 10X : 16,497 Flybuys points (9X bonus points apart from standard points)
In total, you will receive 25,662 points, which is worth approximately $128.
Thus, the price after the offer and points is:
$1833.49 (Officeworks price-beat) – $128 (Flybuys points) = $1705.49
Apologies if I made a mistake in the math somewhere.
