For the first time since January, earn 2,000 bonus Flybuys points on $100 and $250 Coles Mastercard gift cards in-store at Coles. These prepaid Mastercard gift cards can be used almost anywhere, including on payments to the ATO last we checked.
If you purchased the maximum of five $100 Mastercards, you would earn 10,525 Flybuys points for just $25 in purchase fees. That’s over $50 worth of Flybuys Dollars or over 5,000 Velocity points.
Here are the details:
- Runs from Wed 6 Aug to Tue 12 Aug 2025
- Only available in-store at Coles
- Limit of five gift cards per Flybuys account
- $5 fee on $100 card, $7 fee on $250 card
- This offer is open to everyone and does not require activation
How it works
Scan your Flybuys card at the checkout when purchasing $100 or $250 Coles Mastercard gift cards in-store at Coles between 6 Aug and 12 Aug 2025 and you’ll earn 2,000 bonus points on each of them, up to a maximum of five.
Coles don’t give you any indication that you’ve earned the points so you’ll just have to wait a day or two for them to appear, usually at around 5pm. Sometimes the standard points can credit days before the bonus points so don’t worry if you don’t receive them all at the same time.
You’ll earn the same fixed bonus of 2,000 points whether you buy a $100 or $250 card so most people tend to just buy the $100 cards as they’re cheaper and you save $2 on the purchase fee ($5 versus $7). However, these offers are very popular so the purple $100 cards always sell out first.
On top of the bonus points, you also receive 1x Flybuys point per dollar spent on the gift cards so a $100 Mastercard will actually earn you 2,105 Flybuys points. Buying five will see your account awarded 10,525 points in total.
Note that the purchase limit for this promotion is just five gift cards for the whole week. It’s not a “per day” limit like you sometimes see with other bonus points promotions. If you need more than five, use multiple Flybuys accounts.
Make sure you check your Coles Mastercard gift cards for signs of tampering as soon as you purchase them and avoid buying any that look like their packaging as been damaged or compromised. More information about these scams can be found here.
As mentioned above, this is the first decent bonus points offer on prepaid gift cards we have seen at any supermarket for over six months so expect it to sell out fast. Your best option is to go first thing Wednesday, ideally at a store in the outer suburbs or a regional area.

Can we purchase this and buy tcn kids variable card?
I would expect so but there are no guarantees with that sort of thing.
Is there any way I can store the value, such as adding the Apple Wallet?
or purchase anything with value so I can use it later without being stolen use
These gift cards don’t work with Apple Pay (though for some time they did unofficially support Google Pay inexplicably). You can use them to buy almost anything so it’s not hard to find a use for them.
Bummer. It does feel ‘safer’ having the card stored in Apple Pay versus a loose card in a wallet/drawer somewhere.
Can you use these cards to add money to your revolut bank balance. Essentially you would be paying 5$ for 2100 flyby points?
I don’t believe so.
Could I buy these and then use them to buy Woolworths gift vouchers online via NRMA?
I believe it’ll work if you pay via PayPal but not directly.
This is a Mastercard product so in theory I can use this card to purchase gift cards in ShopBack/Qantas marketplace etc – Do I have that right?
I don’t believe they work on Qantas Marketplace anymore and I recall ShopBack cracking down on prepaid gift card use some time ago. Other gift card stores may let you use them, especially if they allow you to pay via PayPal. In-store you shouldn’t have any issues in most cases.
