The new Coles loyalty program that seems a bit too good to be true

“So… what’s in it for them?”

Coles is trialling a new loyalty program that left Ross and John scratching their heads and asking that question.

For $10 per month or $99 per year, employees and their family and friends can join FlyBuys Max and receive deals and offers including:

• 5 per cent of all fruit, vegies and meat
• Free home delivery for purchases over $50
• Access to a new online streaming service, MuviNow

The concept follows in the footsteps of a similar subscription model offered by online giant Amazon.
