Earn 2,000 bonus Flybuys points on $100 and $250 Coles Mastercard and $100 Google Play gift cards at Coles. Plus, you’ll also receive 1x Flybuys point per dollar spent.
These offers on Mastercard gift cards are always popular because you can use them almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted both in-store and online.
Note that the ATO appear to no longer accept Coles Mastercard gift cards for online payments, although they may still work if you pay by phone.
Here are the details:
- Runs from Wed 24 Dec to Tue 30 Dec 2025
- Only available in-store at Coles
- Limit of five gift cards per Flybuys account
- $5 fee on $100 Mastercard, $7 fee on $250 Mastercard
- This offer is open to everyone and does not require activation
How it works
Scan your Flybuys card when you purchase $100 and $250 Mastercard and $100 Google Play gift cards in-store at Coles between 24 Dec and 30 Dec 2025 and you will collect 2,000 bonus points for each one you purchase.
You can earn the 2,000 bonus points up to five times in total during this promotion. If you want to buy more than five gift cards, your only option is to use another Flybuys account.
Coles do not award points instantly like Woolworths so you usually have to wait for them to credit the following day at around 5-6pm. However, it’s not uncommon for the bonus points to be delayed by an extra day or two.
Both the $100 and $250 Mastercards earn the same 2,000 points bonus so most people tend to just buy the $100 cards as they’re cheaper. That also means they usually sell out well before the $250 cards.
The Mastercard gift cards now employ more more tamper-resistant packaging but it’s still smart to open them as soon as you’ve scanned them at the checkout to confirm that someone hasn’t tried to scratch off or obscure the card details. This guide shows you what signs to check for.

Hopefully the ATO removal reduces demand for these.
I am curious about that too as it’s the only possible benefit I can see arising from this change. Maybe if sales really fall off they’ll bring back the 10% off promotions?
1. Can I use these to add to my Uber balance or alterntively, buy giftcards through Marketplace?
2. Can they be used to buy other giftcards at Coles/Woolies?
thanks
I found I can buy Woolies and Big W gift cards via the Woolies Rewards app. Have not tried coles
To clarify, you can add them as payment method in the ER App and buy the Woolies GF?
1. You might be able to use them with Uber but there’s no point as you would be better off buying Uber’s own gift cards which are constantly included in promotions. These Mastercards haven’t worked on Qantas Marketplace since around Oct 2024.
2. They’ll work at Coles but at Woolworths there are some gift cards you can’t buy with them (e.g. Woolworths Group gift cards or other prepaid Visa, Mastercard and Eftpos gift cards).
Can these cards be added to Google Pay or Apple Pay?
No
Just a FYI – last time this promo ran, I used the cards to pay my rates notice. Had to do 5 payments of about $99.25 (75c on card fee) each but it worked.
