Our review compares rewards programs on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which rewards program they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 4,081 Australians for their feedback on the rewards programs they are members of.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

Flybuys is one of Australia’s largest rewards programs, jointly owned by Coles Group and Wesfarmers. The program allows you to collect points through your everyday spending, with Flybuys points able to be earned by shopping with partnered brands and retailers including Bunnings Warehouse, Catch, Citi, First Choice Liquor Market, G’Day Parks, HCF health insurance, Kleenheat, Kmart, Liquorland, mycar, NAB, Officeworks, OnePass, Optus, Shell Coles Express, Target, and Velocity Frequent Flyer, to name a few. Flybuys are available as a physical card that can be used in-store, or through a digital app. The Flybuys app allows you to add your card to a digital wallet, track your points, activate offers, access coupons, see what’s on special, redeem points for Flybuys dollars, browse rewards, update details, and get bonus points through surveys.
Flybuys points can be used to shop in the rewards store, book flights and hotels with Flybuys Travel, redeem Velocity Frequent Flyer points, and pay for your shopping with Flybuys Dollars or flypay. You can top up your Flybuys points with bonus points offers, ‘spend and get’ offers, and points multiplier offers, with an ‘offers’ section also available in the app to help you make the most of your shops.
