Help your rewards points fly higher with the 2020 Mozo Experts Choice Credit Card Award winning Coles Rewards Mastercard, which gets you 2 flybuys points per $1 on eligible spends for the first $3,000 (and 1 point thereafter). The great thing is the points are uncapped and never expire, so you can save them up for as long as you like! Plus, for those that apply by 30 Spetmebr 2021 there's a bonus points offer of 40,000 bonus flybuy points when you spend $1,500 in the first 60 days from approval or you can opt for $200 off in-store purchases at Coles instead. Not only that, the usual $99 annual fee waived in the first year.
While the Coles Rewards Mastercard has a standard purchase rate of 19.99%, you'll have plenty of breathing room to pay off your balance, with up to 55 interest free days. And if you apply by 30 September 2021, not only is there no annual fee in your first year ($99 for the following years) there is also the choice of two offers. Customers that spend $1,500 in the first 60 days from approval have the choice of either 40,000 bonus flybuy points OR $200 off in-store purchases at Coles supermarkets.
Speaking of points, the Coles Rewards Mastercard is linked to the Coles flybuys scheme, earning you 2 flybuys points per $1 on eligible spending for the first $3,000 (and 1 point per $1 thereafter). Once you've clocked up 2,000 flybuys points you can redeem $10 off your shopping at Coles Supermarkets.
Bear in mind that eligible purchases exclude Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions, BPAY payments, purchases of foreign currency and travellers cheques, transactions made in operating a business, bank fees and charges such as interest and ATM charges.
As part of the Mastercard network you can use it wherever Mastercard cards are accepted worldwide and pay via "tap and go" for purchases under $100 with Mastercard PayPass.
And if you want to blast away a niggling balance before starting your spending, there is a 0% balance transfer rate for 18 months on offer (1.5% BT fee applies). Just keep in mind that any remaining balance after the 18 months are up will start attracting interest at the higher 19.99% cash advance rate, and while you're using the balance transfer offer, you won't get any interest free days on new purchases made on the card.
The Coles Rewards Mastercard is great for those who are a fan of the flybuys program and are looking to earn points on their everyday shop.
While you'll get $10 off your shopping at Coles Supermarkets when you redeem 2,000 flybuys points, keep in mind Coles Express, and Coles Online are excluded.

To work out the "Rewards value minus fees" in our Rewards Revealer we:
calculate how many points you'd get each year,
figure out how many flights or gift cards or cashback credits you could get for those points,
work out what that's actually worth to you,
take off the annual fee you'd pay.
More details:
Our calculations are designed to help you compare the value of different rewards schemes. To do this, we've looked at earning a one-way Sydney-Melbourne flight excluding taxes and charges, a return Sydney-London flight excluding taxes and charges, a $100 shopping Gift Card and $100 cashback. Most cards will also offer other rewards, which may be worth more or less than the ones we've shown.
We have made no allowance for bonus points for using your card at specific merchants, introductory offers or special offers. We have not assigned any value to instant discounts, insurances, ticketing and concierge services or other such benefits.
Rewards value calculations do not take credit card interest into account. If you do not pay off your card each month you may be better off looking for a card based on interest rates than on the value of rewards.
In products that have more than one card, a different mix of spend between American Express / Visa / Mastercard will give different results. Mozo's Rewards Revealer lets you choose the mix based on the way you would use such a product, and gives you tailored results.
We assume flights purchased with airline points are 'classic' or 'reward' economy seats with restricted seat availability. 'Any seat' rewards will probably cost more.
To compare the value of flight rewards, we sample online retail flight prices once a quarter based on the average price on a Wednesday 3 months in advance but outside NSW school holidays. For domestic flights we take the lowest available fare from each flight on that day from Qantas Red e-deal, Virgin Australia Saver including baggage and Jetstar Starter including baggage. We calculate the average price excluding taxes and surcharges for each airline, and also the average across all airlines (which we use when rewards are travel agent vouchers). For international flights, we take the lowest available fares on that same Wednesday from each of Qantas, Emirates, Malaysian, Etihad, Singapore, Cathay Pacific and Thai, assuming a return flight 2 weeks later, calculate the average price before taxes and surcharges and use this as our assumed cost of a flight on any airline.
Shopping rewards are based on $100 gift cards from a major national department store.
We make every effort to ensure our calculations are correct and up to date but make no guarantees.

I had the worst experience with Coles financial services, awful company to deal with. I applied for two credit cards and did not get the points I was supposed to get. I escalated to manager and she showed no intention to help, now i am going to the financial ombudsman. Stay away from them, won't recommend them to anyone!

1) When I first applied for this card it was a no yearly fee card. When it was passed on to Citibank I now have to pay $99 per year. Not so good. 2) I arranged for a monthly direct debit from my bank account to pay the full balance each month. Last month my expected expenses were quite high so I paid $3500 into the credit card account at the beginning of the month so that there would be no chance of being overdrawn. Citibank still took the full end of month balance, $6000+ out of my bank account. Not the balance less $3500. But my bank did not have enough funds to cover that withdrawal. What a mess. When I rang to complain they said "Well, that's what we do." They did offer to refund the $3500. Not so happy!
