Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max $141 + 50 points or 805 Points Via Flybuys

Cheapest price in NZ if you have flybuys points available =P

As this is an obvious price mistake, it likely won't be honoured but could be worth a shot

    cheapest price in the world lol

  • fatboyj on 29/09/2019 - 18:59

    Yea what the hell I have 400 points I'll order one, expecting an error email any time soon so not holding out to getting one. Hope they flick you 50 points inconvenience blah blah.

  • Bazz on 29/09/2019 - 19:05

    Got a couple, Surely they have to Honour it since theyre advertising it at that price, not sure on rules and regulations over this though

    • eXDee on 29/09/2019 - 19:22

      Nope, look up price mistakes in NZ law. Retailers do not have to honour them, and there is no entitlement to a price if it was a genuine mistake.

      If they on the other hand deliberately put this price in banner ads and printed it on billboards, with no intent to honour it, thats obvious bait advertising and would likely catch the eye of the commerce commission.

      • bobsyouruncle on 29/09/2019 - 19:27

        What constitutes a price here if on their website it says "Points have no cash or monetary value."?
        I have no idea on the value of their points, for all I know 805 points is enough for an iPhone

        • eXDee on 29/09/2019 - 19:36
          +2

          Rule for fly buys is divide them by 6 to get approximately the real world value. So 805 Points is $134.

          It doesn't matter how you want to look at this, they don't have to honour this if they don't want to. If they do it'll likely be for promotional reasons (expensive promo!) or because orders begin getting sent by the fulfilment team before it's pulled

  • Bazz on 29/09/2019 - 19:07

    Guessing the more they see the influx of purchases someone will realise it, should have kept it on the downlow :p

    • shock0ne on 30/09/2019 - 08:03

      Yeah buying 4 of them will totally work

  • Bazz on 29/09/2019 - 19:14

    If you look in your Activity History it actually Isn't saying its a iPhone ive purchased its saying its a "MARBOTIC Smart Kit"

    • fatboyj on 29/09/2019 - 19:26

      Yea just looked, same here.

      Hope they don't honour that, its utter shite.

      • Nil Einne on 29/09/2019 - 19:46

        If Fly Buys actually send you a MARBOTIC Smart Kit instead of an iPhone I'm sure they'll set up a courier for you to send it back or maybe just let you keep it if you want it; and also give you a little extra Fly Buys in return. They won't be sending an iPhone to make up for it though.

        • Seighart on 29/09/2019 - 19:49

          Hmm same here. Didn’t get the email yet. Does it say iPhone 11 pro max in the email?

  • fatboyj on 29/09/2019 - 19:20

  • vloflo on 29/09/2019 - 19:24

    I ordered one so far so good

  • Lifeline on 29/09/2019 - 19:25

    Uh yeah.. good luck trying to get one. I wouldn't bother. Pricing mistakes don't have to be honoured.

  • mnsl0826 on 29/09/2019 - 19:26

    How long does the confirmation email takes to arrive at your mailbox?

    I am still awaiting for mine…

    • fatboyj on 29/09/2019 - 19:30

      Got mine in 30 seconds, pretty quick. Might have cottoned on to it already so someones sunday roast is getting cold while they fix this.

      I know 100% they wont honor this, just seeing what they give as an inconvenience deal.

      • huffboy on 29/09/2019 - 19:53

        maybe 0… or 5 pts.

    • huffboy on 29/09/2019 - 19:52

      Got mine in 2 mins. No way they are going to give away $2800

    • Lifeline on 29/09/2019 - 20:47

      This confirms that they won't let them go if they were hoping costumers would return them. It will be stopped before shipment.

  • hiimpengu on 29/09/2019 - 19:31

    Crap I've only got 49 points!!

    If this was collect I'd be at NL's 8am getting the bugger 1st thing, but getting delivered so too easy to cancel. Unless an industrious go getter at Apple decides to get going and send them out quick sharp.

      wait for 30 mins to an hour and your points will be back. They do a hold on your points if you cancel a transaction.
      happened to me a few times before.

    Hi XXXXXX,

    Our records show that you ordered the 512GB Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max over the weekend. You will have received an email from Fly Buys confirming this order.

    Unfortunately, there was an error on our website which resulted in the incorrect number of points required for this product being displayed. As a result, we will not be fulfilling your order for the 512GB Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max.

    We apologise for this error and any inconvenience that this may have caused.

    We will refund in full any points and/or money that you spent on this order and you will receive a further communication from us when this refund has been completed.

    Thanks,

    The team at Fly Buys

  • hello1111 on 30/09/2019 - 20:15

      • fofokaka on 01/10/2019 - 12:08

        You guys knew it was a mistake but decided to make an order regardless, making it even harder for them to have to process it. Now you have to wait.
