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).

    Can I use my Coles Rewards MasterCard overseas (Europe) and are there additional charges?

      Hi Kevin,

      Thank you for your question.

      You can use your Coles Rewards MasterCard anywhere MasterCard is accepted overseas, but you will incur some charges.

      Each time you make a withdrawal from an ATM outside Australia, you will incur an International ATM fee of $4 in addition to the cash advance fee. You will also be charged an International (OTC) fee of $5 in addition to the cash advance each time you withdraw cash outside Australia via an over the counter transaction. There is also an International transaction fee of 2.5% on all purchases and cash which will be charged when you obtain funds or make a purchase in a foreign currency.

      You can view a full list of the rates and fees of the Coles Rewards MasterCard on the Coles Credit Cards website.

      I hope this has answered your question.

      Thanks,

      I called many times to Coles Master Card staff about the 100$ offer. I applied and got approval late April and have tried the to redeem 100$ twice but no offer after scanning minimum 100.5$ of my purchase.
      A supervisor confirmed 100$ has been offer and asked me to login to flybuys to see – I logged in – no offer at all – tried again – nothing.
      It wasted of time and I don’t want to shop and return all back. How can I know the offer available on my flybuys account, please..

      Hi Hien,

      Thank you for your question and we’re sorry to hear that you’ve had trouble accessing your Coles MasterCard $100 bonus offer.

      Just to confirm, have you been scanning your Coles MasterCard or flybuys card? The terms and conditions state that you need to scan your flybuys card to redeem the $100 worth of points, so if you’ve only been using your Coles MasterCard, that could be the issue.

      However, if you have done this and followed the instructions listed in the promotion Terms and Conditions, there may be a technical glitch that is prohibiting you from accessing your points. If you continue to experience issues accessing your points, we would suggest that you contact the Coles MasterCard customer service team again and explain that you have followed the necessary steps and still can’t access your points.

      I hope this has answered your question.

      Thanks,

      Sally

      Hi, Seems like I have the same issue as “Hien | June 4, 2015”, but I think my problem might be that the $100 HASN’T been loaded onto my flybuys account because I’m might not be classified as a NEW CUSTOMER? I used to be an ‘additional card holder’ on my friend’s account. Now I have applied to be the Main account holder. It’s the first time I have applied and been approved for an account of my own. Would this have stopped me from being classified as a NEW CUSTOMER? Otherwise I can’t see why each time I spend over $100 I am not receiving my discount…. Looks like I may have applied for the card for nothing.

      Hi Ari, thanks for your inquiry!

      Please note that finder.com.au is a comparison service and is not directly involved in Coles MasterCard’s application process and the $100 offer. However, the $100 should have been directly debited to your flybuys account. You may wish to log onto your flybuys account to ensure if the points have been debited in your account. The $100 off can only be used once and expires on 30th October 2015. If the points haven’t appeared on your account, we would suggest that you get in contact with Coles MasterCard customer service team again to directly to resolve the issue.

      I hope this has helped.

      Cheers,

      Hi Giovanni,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      The Coles MasterCard Platinum does not come with complimentary travel insurance. Please refer to the following link for a list of cards that include complimentary travel insurance.

      Please make sure to read the eligibility criteria, features, and details of the policy/card, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details.
