Expert review

The Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard is one of few credit cards that offers both rewards and no annual fee. With this card, you earn the equivalent of 0.5 Flybuys points per $1 spent on eligible purchases made anywhere the card is accepted. This gives you a way to earn points when you shop with brands that aren’t already Flybuys partners – although it’s worth noting that some other reward cards offer higher earn rates.

This card also gives you 12 months interest-free on balance transfers, which is suited to those who want to repay their existing debts without incurring extra fees. If you want to make new purchases, you can also take advantage of 0% interest for the first 12 months. Keep in mind that you will not get interest-free days on purchases while you’re paying off a balance transfer.
