Manual Rewards vs Automatic Rewards

What are Manual Rewards and Automatic Rewards?

Manual and Automatic are the two ways you can pick to receive your $5 rewards voucher.

What's the difference between Manual Rewards and Automatic Rewards

Automatic: Earn 100 points and automatically receive a $5 rewards voucher. This is also the default setting at sign up. Manual Rewards: Bank your points and self-activate $5 reward vouchers when it suits you. This option is only available to members with an online Bonds Rewards account on bonds.com.au.

Why is my membership on Automatic?

The Automatic Rewards method is the default setting at sign up for all members.

If you're a member with an online account on bonds.com.au, you'll be able to change your preference to Manual using the steps listed in the next question.

How do I change my Rewards method from Automatic to Manual?

You can only do this online in 'My Account' here.

Log in, click on 'Points' in the side menu bar and you'll see these 2 options first thing.

Select the 'Bank Points' option and you'll be on the Manual method shortly after.

Note: Once Manual is selected, it can't be changed for 24 hours. This option is only available to members with an online Bonds Rewards account on our Australian website.

After reaching 100 points, when do I receive my $5 Bonds Bucks reward voucher?

For members on 'Automatic Rewards' method, you'll get a $5 reward voucher once you hit 100 points in your account. You'll get an email notification each time and the voucher will appear in your account within approx. 15 minutes.

For members on 'Manual Rewards' method, your $5 reward voucher will be available instantly after you self-activate any 100 points in your online account. You'll also get an email notification anytime you activate a rewards voucher.

Do I receive my $5 reward vouchers automatically?

If you choose the 'Automatic Rewards' method, yes. Once you hit 100 points, a $5 reward voucher will automatically be added to your account.

You'll be sent an email notification for each $5 reward voucher so make sure you're subscribed to stay in the loop. Vouchers typically appear in your account within approx. 15 minutes of the email reaching your inbox.

If I choose the Manual Rewards method, can I activate more than one reward voucher at a time?

Yes, you can activate a $5 Bonds Bucks reward voucher for every 100 points banked in your account. So if you've got 500 points, you have the option to activate 5 vouchers at once, or just 1.

Points expire 24 months after they're issued, so don't wait too long to turn them into vouchers!

What happens if I don't have an online account?

If you only have an in store account, you'll stay within the Automatic Rewards method. You can only opt into the Manual Rewards method when your online account is activated on our Australian website.

Can I activate my $5 reward vouchers in store if I'm on the Manual Rewards method?

Your $5 Bonds Bucks reward voucher will appear shortly in your account after it's activated. You'll also be notified via email within 15 minutes.
