What should I think about before buying or using Coles gift cards?

If you’re thinking of giving someone a gift card from Coles or have received one, take note of the following factors:

• Store acceptance. Most Coles gift cards can only be used at specific stores. Some gift cards also limit whether you can use them to shop in-store or online. These details are included with the card and are also available on the Coles gift card website.
• Card values. There is a minimum amount of $10 and a maximum of $500 for Coles-branded gift cards – except the Coles Gift Mastercard, which is available with a value of $50 or $100.
• Card balance. For Coles Gift Cards and other branded cards, you can check your balance online at giftcards.com.au or by calling 1300 304 990. If you have a Coles Gift Mastercard, you can check the balance online or by calling 1300 095 072.
• Expiry. Coles gift cards are valid for 4 years from the date of issue. Any balance remaining on the card after this date will not be available for use. You can check the expiry date on your card by visiting the service desk in-store at Coles, or by calling 1300 304 990.
• Lost or stolen cards. Coles gift cards are treated as cash and will not be replaced or refunded if they are lost or stolen.
• Faulty or damaged cards. Faulty or damaged Coles gift cards will not be reissued unless the faults are a result of the production process or otherwise due to the fault of Coles Group, its agents or contractors or a participating retailer.
• No cash out. You won’t be able to use your Coles gift card to get cash out at the checkout. You also won’t be able to use a gift card to purchase other gift cards.
• Credit card fees. If you buy your gift card with a credit card, it will usually be processed as a cash advance transaction and attract additional fees.
• Limited rewards. Coles-branded gift cards are not usually eligible to earn Flybuys points. But there are sometimes Flybuys bonus point offers for buying gift cards from other brands, such as Netflix. Just keep in mind that most rewards credit cards won't offer points per $1 for any gift card purchases.
