A private investigator has revealed details about how she discovered a cheating man was having a secret affair through Flybuys.
Cassie Crofts, who runs a licensed private investigation service called Venus Investigations, was hired to uncover the truth after the man’s wife became suspicious of his frequent trips, which he claimed were to visit his “family.”
The couple lived in Queensland, but the wife knew something was wrong when her husband regularly traveled to New South Wales.
The only detail he noticed in their joint bank account was his random trips to Coles and Bunnings, but he had no other information to prove he was a cheater.
However, the penny dropped when the wife started reviewing her Flybuys transaction history and realized where her husband had been the entire time.
Each transaction showed the exact suburb where I had been shopping.
The suburb turned out to be the same area where the husband’s ex-girlfriend lived.
“This case was crazy,” Cassie said in her videoand adds jokingly: “$10 off your store, but a very expensive divorce.”
Private investigator Cassie Crofts has revealed details about how she discovered a cheating man was having a secret affair through Flybuys.
The private investigator explained how she was working with her client, the wife, to discover how her husband was cheating on her.
“We were pretty sure he was doing it,” Cassie explained.
‘They lived in Queensland and he would make these trips to see his family in New South Wales, something he never used to do.
“So he checked their joint bank account, there were things in there like Coles and Bunnings, but we don’t know where that was happening. We don’t have any details about who was there, so it didn’t help us much.”
Cassie then suggested that the wife check their joint rewards accounts for clues.
“I said, ‘Do you have any joint rewards accounts like Everyday Rewards or Flybuys, that kind of thing?’ And they had Flybuys,’ he said.
“So we opened the app and there were all the transactions (Coles, Kmart, Bunnings) showing the suburb where I had been shopping.
“It just so happens that the suburb was in Queensland, where his ex-girlfriend lives.”

Looking at the small details of the transaction history, they realized that the husband was never in New South Wales, but was actually visiting his ex-girlfriend, who lived in the same state as them.
“Brother ditched him for some extra rewards,” Cassie said.
He added: “Many people find it difficult to trust their instincts without evidence, even when all the signs are there.”
“A little bit of evidence gives them the push to act.”
The detail was enough to confirm that the wife’s suspicions were correct all along.
Their video has been viewed more than 63,000 times and in one of them they used the same method to discover their partner’s affair: ‘I did it! I fished mine the same way.
A man said his electronic tag toll account discovered his partner’s unfaithful act.
“My Linkt account caught my ex cheating,” she said.
One person joked: “I hope he kept his points.”
“I’m this level of petty,” another added.
Meanwhile, many said they wish they had known the trick.
‘I needed you years ago, about eight years ago. I wish I knew about private investigators. I wish I knew,” one said, along with a crying emoji.
