Types of Coles credit cards

Coles Mastercard offers three credit card options: a rewards credit card, a low rate credit card and a no annual fee card.

Low rate credit cards

The Coles Low Rate Mastercard offers a 12.99% p.a. interest rate on purchases and offers up to 55 interest-free days on purchases if you pay your balance in full by the due date on your statement. It also offers 0.5 points per $1 spent at Coles Supermarkets. Points are awarded in whole numbers and rounded down. These points are in addition to the points you'll earn by scanning your flybuys membership barcode (on the back of the card).

No annual fee credit cards

The Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard is one of the few credit cards that offers both no annual fee for life and a rewards program. 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. With the Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard, you'll earn 0.5 flybuys points per $1 spent on eligible purchases anywhere you use the card, as well as standard flybuys points 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.

Rewards credit cards

The Coles Rewards Mastercard offers 2 flybuys points per $1 spent on all eligible purchases – even if they are not with flybuys partners. When compared to some other rewards credit cards, it has a competitive annual fee of $99 and also offers no international transaction fee on purchases when you shop overseas or online with stores based overseas.

The benefits of banking with a Coles Mastercard

A Coles Mastercard credit card gives you access to the following benefits:

• flybuys rewards

Coles credit cards are linked to the flybuys rewards program and double as your flybuys membership card, with your membership details printed on the back of your credit card. If you want to earn more flybuys points for your spending, both the Coles Rewards and Coles No Annual Fee cards offer you points for eligible purchases made anywhere. The Coles Low Rate Mastercard also offers points per $1 spent on eligible purchases at Coles Supermarkets. flybuys has a huge range of program partners and reward options, including travel rewards, frequent flyer points, holiday packages, merchandise and gift cards.

• Get money off your shopping at Coles

If you choose to use flybuys points to get money off at the checkout when you shop at Coles, you can scan the back of your Coles credit card and instantly redeem 2,000 flybuys points for $10 off your shopping at participating Coles Supermarkets. Note that you need a minimum of 2,000 flybuys points in your account to get money off your shop.

• 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 No Annual Fee Mastercard offers 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 12 months you have the card, allowing you to save money on interest charges and pay down your debt faster. Any balances remaining after the promotional period will attract interest at the cash advance rate.
