@adminkirsty Yes, Kantar run the Verian poll and reward some participants with #Flybuys points. #NZpoll

@jdmcg there are evil capitalist overtones to them and people who don't spend regularly at places like New World supermarkets are unlikely to have a #Flybuys card so they tend to be a middle class or city based thing. Not sure how many poor or rural people have #Flybuys cards. Very suburban middle class. That may make them more reliable as political indicator but that's only guessing not systematic analysis

@jdmcg Too right #Flybuys still exist. I'm busy saving up stickers for Masterchef Cookware!

Amazing. Today at the supermarket, the woman at the register asked me if I have Flybuys™️. I was struck that I’ve been asked that question basically weekly since before she was born.

It costs 21000 points ($21000 spent?) to fly to Melbourne for one person, one way. In the almost 30 years it’s been operating, I could have saved enough points to fly my family to and from Melbourne… twice. That’s right! 30 years of selling my personal shopping data in exchange for, what exactly?

I don’t remember it always being that devoid of value, but that’s the equilibrium point it’s reached.
