We’ve been talking about the new flybuys loyalty scheme quite a bit here at Lifehacker, but I realise that coverage has skipped one relatively central point: whether points are easier to earn under the new scheme than the old one. It turns out that the new flybuys is marginally more generous, but neither offers anything like the level of savings you’ll get from shopping around and finding the best specials.
As well as cheap iTunes cards, Kmart’s current catalogue includes two discounted prepaid Android phones: the LG Optimus Spirit on Telstra for $129, and the HTC Incredible S on Optus for $299.
Telstra’s bargain prepaid Android phone the Smart-Touch T2030 was $99 when it was first released, but the price has since dropped to $79. That’s a reasonable saving, but until January 18 Kmart has an even better deal: the same $79 price tag, but with $50 of included prepaid credit.
Get those emergency Christmas gifts ready! From tomorrow through to November 9, Kmart has the familiar 25 per cent off deal offering $40 worth of iTunes cards for $30. [Kmart via OzBargain]
Kmart is full of cheap Android phones right now. As well as the $79 Motorola Flipout we mentioned last week, there’s also a $99 deal on a Telstra-locked Xperia Mini X10 Pro. That same deal appeared at JB Hi-Fi earlier in the year; it’s a bit more than the Flipout, but you do get Android 2.1 and a more conventional form factor. [Kmart via OzBargain]
A fortnight ago, Dick Smith was selling the Motorola Flipout for $99. Now Kmart has the square Android phone at $79 until August 31. Like the previous deal, it’s on Vodafone but you can remove the network lock online. [Kmart via OzBargain]
