Types of credit cards from Coles

  • Coles rewards credit cards

The Coles Rewards Mastercard gives you a way to earn Flybuys points on all your eligible spending, anywhere Mastercard is accepted. It offers 2 Flybuys points per $1 spent on all eligible purchases up to $3,000 per statement period and 1 point per $1 up to $8,000 per statement period. When you shop at Coles and other Flybuys partners, you'll also earn points through your Flybuys membership.

  • Coles low rate credit cards

The Coles Low Rate Mastercard has a low interest rate of 13.49% p.a. for purchases, which is competitive with other low rate credit cards. Unlike most low rate cards in Australia, it also offers rewards, earning an equivalent to 0.5 Flybuys points per $1 spent at Coles Supermarkets – on top of the points earned by scanning your Flybuys membership barcode.

  • Coles no annual fee credit cards

The Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard is one of the few credit cards in Australia that offers no annual fee and rewards. This means you can get extra value from the card without wondering if your reward points will balance out the cost of the annual fee.

It offers an equivalent 0.5 Flybuys points per $1 spent on eligible purchases up to $5,000 per statement period and anywhere you use the card as well as the usual Flybuys points you earn for spending with partnered retailers. Points are awarded in whole numbers and are rounded down, meaning you earn 1 point per $2 spent with this card.

The benefits of getting a credit card with Coles Mastercard

Each Coles Mastercard credit card has different features, but these are the ones you'll get with any of them:

  • Flybuys rewards

Coles credit cards have your Flybuys membership details printed on the back of them, so you only have to pull out one card at the check out. The Coles Low Rate Mastercard also offers points per $1 spent on eligible purchases at Coles Supermarkets, and both the Coles Rewards and Coles No Annual Fee cards also earn points for eligible purchases you make anywhere (even if it's not a Flybuys partner).

  • Get money off your shopping at Coles

If you want to use rewards to save on your supermarket shopping, you can you can redeem a minimum of 2,000 Flybuys points for $10 off at participating Coles Supermarkets. Known as Flybuys Dollars, you can also use this reward to get money off shopping at other partners including Kmart, Target and Coles Express.

  • Balance transfer offers

You can save money on your existing credit card debt by transferring it to a Coles Mastercard with a balance transfer offer. For example, the Coles Low Rate Mastercard offers 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 15 months you have the card. But keep in mind that any balance remaining after the promotional period will attract interest at the cash advance rate.

  • Digital wallets and contactless payments

You can make payments from your smartphone or eligible device with any of these mobile wallets:

  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Samsung Pay
  • Coles Mobile Wallet App

This app gives you a way to keep track of your spending, put a temporary lock on your card, make BPAY payments, check your Flybuys balance and manage other account details. If you prefer to use a web browser, you can also manage your account through the Coles Online Service Centre.

  • Credit card instalment plans

Coles credit cards offer three types of instalment plans, which give you a way to pay off your credit card balance over a set period of time, with fixed monthly repayments that can make it easier to budget. The options available depend on the type of spending or balance and are subject to eligibility.

PlanDescription
Statement instalmentsConvert retail purchases from your closing balance into a structured payment plan, with a minimum of $500 and monthly instalment repayments.
Transaction instalmentsConvert new shopping to a payment plan before it shows up on your statement. You can do this with any eligible purchase over $50.
Cash instalmentsAccess a minimum of $500 and up to 90% of your available credit limit as cash for bills, study or anything else you need and pay it off in instalments. This option is similar to a small personal loan, but make sure you check the rates and fees so you know how much it will cost before you get it.

You can check if you're eligible for an instalment plan by calling Coles Mastercard on 1300 066 985. Once a plan is set up, you'll see details on your credit card statement. Learn more about using instalment plans on a credit card to see if they'll work for you.

  • Security

These cards offer 24/7 account security through Coles Shield and Mastercard Zero Liability for fraudulent transactions.

Credit card details

During the application, you'll also be asked about details of your new credit card. The two key details to look at are:

  • Current Flybuys number. You can include your Flybuys membership number on the application so that your details are printed on the back of your Coles credit card if your application's approved. If you're not a Flybuys member, you can also join for free by visiting the Flybuys website – and can update the Flybuys details linked to your card through the Coles Online Service Centre.
  • Credit limit. If you have a credit limit in mind, you can include that as part of the application. Note that Coles will offer you a credit limit based on its assessment of your application, which could be lower than the one you've requested.
  • Balance transfers. If you're moving a debt to a new Coles card with a 0% balance transfer rate, you need to include the account details and the amount of debt you want to transfer. Just keep in mind that the balance transfer is approved separately and the amount that's transferred depends on the credit limit you get for your new Coles card.

What happens after you apply?

When you submit your completed application form, you'll get a response within 60 seconds giving you an initial outcome. Coles will also send you an email with a summary and application reference number. You'll also get details about providing more supporting documentation (if that's needed).

      Hi Bev,

      Thank you for your question and for contacting finder.com.au – we are a financial comparison website and general information service designed to help consumers make better decisions. Please note that we are not affiliated with any company we feature on our site.

      With Coles Mastercard, when you withdraw cash from your account, even when it is on credit balance, it will be treated as a cash advance. So this means that when you access funds from your account that transaction will incur cash advance fee. You may like to contact Coles directly if you wish to confirm the fees.

      Cheers,
      May

      Hi Renay,

      Thanks for your question.

      Each time you use your Coles credit card to withdraw at an ATM overseas, you’ll incur overseas ATM withdrawal fee of $4. When used for purchases, you’ll be charged currency conversion fee, the rate of which depends on which Coles credit card you have.

    If I pay the total balance owning each month – will I avoid interest charges?

      Hi Teri,

      Thanks for your question.

      As long as you pay your total balance in full every month and not just the required monthly repayment, you’ll not incur interest charges on purchases.

    The primary cardholder can link a Fly Buys card to that card. Can you please advise if the additional cardholder can also link a Fly Buys membership to the additional card?

    Thank you!

      Hi Jo,

      Thanks for your question.

      Yes, you can link more than one card to a flybuys account, which means you can earn more points with multiple cardholders. Please contact the flybuys Service Centre to find out more information on how to do this.
