Earn 2,000 bonus Flybuys points on $50 TCN Cinema and $100 TCN Pamper, Pub & Bar, Good Food, Active and Shop gift cards at Coles.

This is the first time Coles have offered 2,000 points on a $50 gift card in over three years. It works out to be 41x points per dollar spent as you earn standard Flybuys points as well as the bonus.

TCN Cinema gift cards should work at almost any cinema in Australia. For every $50 you spend on them, you will earn 2,050 Flybuys points (worth $10.25 or 1,025 Velocity points).

Here are the details:

  • Runs from Wed 11 Mar to Tue 17 Mar 2026
  • Only available in-store at Coles
  • Selected denominations only (see below)
  • Limit of five gift cards per Flybuys account
  • This offer is open to everyone and does not require activation
  • Points usually arrive in 1-3 days


How it works

Scan your Flybuys card when purchasing any of these TCN gift cards in-store at Coles between 11 Mar and 17 Mar 2026 and you’ll receive 2,000 bonus points on each of them.

The bonus points should credit to your account within 1-3 days but delays aren’t uncommon so don’t worry if you only receive some of the points at first.

There is a purchase limit of five gift cards in total for the duration of the promotion. It’s not a limit of five per day or five of each gift card, unfortunately.

The included denominations are:

  • TCN Cinema: $50
  • TCN Pamper: $100
  • TCN Pub & Bar: $100
  • TCN Good Food: $100, $200
  • TCN Active: $100
  • TCN Shop: $100

Other denominations of these gift cards (e.g. $30 TCN Cinema, $50 TCN Pamper etc) are not eligible to earn the 2,000 bonus points. Only buy the specific ones listed above.

The $50 TCN Cinema gift card is the standout here as it’s effectively 41x points per dollar spent. The last time Coles offered that many points on TCN Cinema gift cards was in 2021.

For the rest of the gift cards in this offer you’re limited to $100 denominations at minimum which works out to be a solid 21x points per dollar spent. Avoid the $200 Good Food gift card as it’ll only earn you 11x points.

The Good Food and Pub & Bar gift cards should work at most restaurants but not any that are classified as fast food (this can include cafes and other places you might not think of as being fast food).

TCN Pamper gift cards can be used at nail and hair salons, barbers, hotels, hair and beauty shops and even at cosmetics retailers like Mecca and Sephora.

Check the Merchant Database for a list of places that have been known to accept the TCN Cinema, Pamper, Pub & Bar and Good Food gift cards.

If you’re having trouble swapping your TCN gift card or exchanging it for a digital version, try registering it here first as that usually solves the issue.

  1. Can the Motion Picture Theatres card be used at Palace Cinemas or just the Hoyts/Event Cinemas?

    Reply

    1. It should work at Palace. It’s just a prepaid gift card that’s programmed to be accepted at any business categorised as a cinema so I’d be surprised if it was declined.

      You don’t need to tell them that you’re paying with a gift card as it should just work, although if you don’t have enough of a balance to cover the entire purchase then you’ll need to ask to pay using two different cards. It may even be possible to buy one of Palace’s own gift cards with it.

  2. Do you think Mastercard & Visa $100 gift cards (from recent Flybuys promotions) will work to purchase the Pamper and Good Food cards?

    Reply

  3. How do we use the cinema cards to book the seats online rather than at the cinema? Can we use it to purchase Hoyts/Events gift cards online first maybe?

    Reply

    1. I’ve used them to buy Hoyts gift cards on the Hoyts website via Apple Pay as recently as in December. I’m not sure about other cinemas but it wouldn’t surprise if it were possible for them as well.

      1. Well it worked for me on the Hoyts website in December. Beyond that I couldn’t give you any guarantees.

  4. Could you please tell me how you’ve been able to use pamper gift cards and tcn good food at IHG hotels? I can’t see a split payment option in the app and I tried in one ihg hotel, but it didn’t work. I have a few stays coming up, so this would be super useful to know. Thank you.

    Reply

    1. It will all depend on what MCC the hotel uses if you are trying it in person, when you prepay for an IHG or Accor booking their websites use 7011 which is supported. The best chance you have is to pay online using a singular card, and prepaying. You are probably better off waiting until somewhere does an offer on $500 cards if you are using them online. Unless you are paying with some points + card I don’t believe Accor or IHG let you split payment (I may be wrong)

      1. Got it. Thank you, that’s helpful. I also tried the Good Food one at a cafe on the weekend where ordering was online via Grayza (I had added the card to my digital wallet). It didn’t work with Grayza unfortunately 🙁
