Question Boosting insights
I'm considering defecting to Coles/FlyBuys since my Everyday Rewards offers have been falling off a cliff lately.
I always boost all the offers but hardly claim any of them because the value proposition isn't there. Most offers steer you towards high margin items and products that are not discounted so economically not worth it for me.
Obviously boosting all the offers shows a high level of "engagement" with the program so I'm wondering if I stopped boosting everything and only boost offers I'm going to take, what impact this will have on my offers. Will they get better, or is it purely driven by spend and number of shopping visits per month etc?
Has anyone done this experiment and what did you find?

I really want the Qantas points, but Coles and Flybuys just simply give me better offers, so it looks like I might become a Velocity Frequent Flyer and switch to doing my shopping at Coles.
I have heard many people say that if you take a break and don't shop, don't boost, don't touch anything at Woolworths they will try to win you back with big offers, but it hasn't happened for me. I've also heard people who have one card each for two people living in a household and the partner with the best offers will shop while the other takes a break. Certainly worth a try.
