Earn 2,000 bonus Flybuys points on $100 and $250 Coles Mastercard gift cards when you purchase them in-store at Coles between 5 Aug and 11 Aug 2026.
Coles Mastercard gift cards can be spent almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted, both in-store and online.
If you bought five $100 cards, you would earn 10,525 Flybuys points (worth $52.63 or convertible to 5,000+ Velocity points) for only $25 in purchase fees.
Here are the details:
- Runs from Wed 5 Aug to Tue 11 Aug 2026
- 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
- Points usually credit in 1-3 days
You can only buy five gift cards in total with the one Flybuys account. It’s not five per day or five of each denomination.
Both the $100 and $250 cards earn the same 2,000 bonus points so most people tend to just buy the $100 denomination since it’s cheaper. However, that also means that it sells out much faster.
Coles Mastercard gift cards no longer work on the ATO or Goverment EasyPay websites but you can apparently still use them to pay the ATO over the phone.
Warning: It’s generally a good idea to tear open each Mastercard after scanning it so that you can check for signs of tampering. More information about this scam can be found here.
Also, as a general rule it’s better to spend prepaid Mastercard and Visa gift cards sooner rather than later as the longer you leave them, the higher the chance of a BIN attack (where scammers brute force card number combinations until they find ones that work).

Is there an activation fee on this?
Yes. It’s mentioned in the article.
If I purchase this with my coles mastercard, anyone knows whether it’s considered as Coles supermarket transactions so I can have triple points as well?
From experience you will earn 2 points (not 3 as you don’t earn the extra 1 point per $ on gift cards as you get bonus points) on the total of the register transaction (in addition to the 2000 bonus points as part of the Mastercard promotion)as the bank doesn’t differentiate or know what you are purchasing, it just sees that you spent say $500 at Coles in one transaction. Same with any other points earning credit card, the rewards points earned from the total value of the transaction paid with your credit card is in addition to the bonus flybuys points earned from purchasing these prepaid Mastercards.
