A Coles Gift Mastercard is a flexible gift voucher that lets your recipient shop for what they want, wherever they want.

The Coles Gift Mastercard is a prepaid credit product that allows you the same accessibility as a regular Mastercard, without having to apply for one. Simply purchase one in-store at Coles, load it with money from your bank account and get virtually unlimited buying power around the world.

      Hello Brian,

      Thank you for your comment.

      Unfortunately, Coles MasterCard cannot be used in your ING bank account. You can use your card as many times as you want, in any of the participating stores, until the balance reaches zero. Participating stores include Coles Supermarkets, Coles Express, Myer, Target, Baby Target, Target Country, Kmart, Kmart Tyre and Auto Services, Officeworks, BI-LO, Liquorland, Vintage Cellars and 1st Choice Liquor Superstore. I hope this helps.

      Regards,
      Jhezelyn
