The two articles in this disambiguation article have different names - flybuys and Fly Buys. A hatnote at the top of each article is really all that is necessary. Ollieinc (talk) 07:41, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The program in Australia (now known as flybuys) was originally termed Fly Buys, then FlyBuys. The current brand name flybuys has been in use for only four of the 21 years the program has been in operation. Accordingly, use of the term in Australia still varies between these three representations, one of which exactly matches the New Zealand variant, and therefore creates the opportunity for confusion between the Australian and New Zealand programs. As such, I believe the disambiguation, if a little non-standard, is helpful and valid. Murtoa (talk) 08:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Disambiguation is needed for both sources which are not immediately distingushable Ajf773 (talk) 08:56, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'd recommend a hatnote at the top of both articles, and keeping this page alive - it's a term that's close enough to "Flyby" that reducing confusion should be the priority. The disambig page will serve that purpose. Rockypedia (talk) 04:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
