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.

Although not your typical credit card, there are still some features of the Coles Gift Mastercard you will be interested in:

  • Credit card logo. This card has the Mastercard logo, allowing it to be used at over 38 million locations around the world and online.
  • Overseas use. You can use this card to make purchases when travelling overseas.
  • Security. The card is not activated until you or your recipient receive it in the mail and activate it online. In addition, there is a pin on the back which you must enter when making a purchase.
  • Account management. You can track your balance and transactions online, much like you do with your regular debit card.
  • No interest. You are not charged any interest on your purchases.
  • Fees. There is a card purchase fee of $5, plus a replacement fee for the same amount if you lose your card.

      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
