EDIT: OZBARGAINED IN 2 HOURS 29 MINS. THANKS FOR COMING!

This was super popular a couple of weeks ago. The code literally updated in front of my eyes while refreshing the page.

Thanks mrjames for the original post https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/254054

  • min $10 transfer required. Be careful topping up card from an existing CC, could be treated as a cash advance! DYOR.

  • Free foreign exchange til the end of the year (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/253027)

  • Earns flybuys points which can be redeemed for giftcards. 1 point for every $2 spent. 2000points = $10 credit at coles. crappy return however better than most debit cards which don't have any rewards. also 1 point for $1 on forex.

  • good for use as a disposable card for free trials (eg. netflix, spotify and uber)

  • Free cash withdrawls at overseas atms (be aware the owner of the ATM can still charge a fee)

Lets see how long this code takes to get ozbargained.

    Thank you, the only reason I didn't get one when it was first posted was the $10 fee.
    Should be useful in NZ later this year.

  • Japius on 29/06/2016 - 14:03

    My two from the last deal arrived yesterday so they are processing them fairly quickly too

    • superm86 on 29/06/2016 - 14:18

      yes fairly quickly - mine arrived next to next day if not the next day.

  • illumination on 29/06/2016 - 14:04

    I got it from the last deal too. Good deal.

    Also, paid for it with my Coles MC. No cash advance charged. However you can't top up the balance with it (have tried already).

  • netsurfer on 29/06/2016 - 14:16

    Have a question, from the Ts&Cs, there is a $10 cancellation fee (when cancelling the card), so what will happen if there is less than $10 in the card on the date of the card expiry? Will the account be cancelled automatically or we need to top it up to $10?

    • ESEMCE on 29/06/2016 - 14:20
      +1

      Expiry surely can't be considered cancellation?
      I think it's more if you had a heap on cash on the card, and lost it.. You could ring up to cancel the card - for the $10 fee - and be credited the cash (or more likely, have another card issued with the balance transferred.)

  • Godric on 29/06/2016 - 14:19

    Is there a reason to get this if you already have a CC aside from trial subscriptions etc?

    • ESEMCE on 29/06/2016 - 14:22

      Last deal it was suggested that you might get free delivery from Coles Online cause it's a "Coles Mastercard".
      Would love to see this confirmed.

  • easternculture on 29/06/2016 - 14:20

    does anyone know if CBA credit cards charge a cash advance fee for this

    want to grab a few more

  • Ninjabredman on 29/06/2016 - 14:23

    This was a very good card, i brought it to queenstown and loaded $200 on it and another $100 whilst i was there, conversion fees were negligible

    The direct debit top up method took me 5-8hrs, not the 24hrs as advertised which was very good and I got it for the anonymity plus it's a prepaid card so use it and dump it

    They have Visa protection so you cant just use any credit card to top up this card to avoid fraudulent activities (you stealing someone's CC to try top up this card)

    Overall, pretty happy with this card, I have my flybuys linked to it and it also has my flybuy's barcode on the card so I use it to replace my existing FB card

    i recommend :D

    EDIT - i bought this card last time they had the $10 waiver deal (this deal)

    EDIT2 - the only downside to coles mastercard is that the customer service requires you to pay like $2-$4 to call up the customer support line, i call them at work instead so yeaaa… haha (i think they charge the telephone company you call from)

    • as01 on 29/06/2016 - 14:33

      They only charge a fee if the information you're asking about is available online. If the info is not available they answer questions free of charge.

      • Ninjabredman on 29/06/2016 - 14:35

        ah thanks for clarification, i called them a couple of times to check info cos the CC i was using wasnt allowing me to top up that's when i found out they have the cc protection, different names on credit cards since i went with a fake name on the coles mastercard

        • illumination on 29/06/2016 - 14:40

          LOL fake name on the CC..

          btw I would imagine the $2-4 fee is charged off your card, not your phone company. Their phone number is a standard 13xx number (I think? or just a normal landline even) and they would have no way to charge you extra on your phone bill..

        • Ninjabredman on 29/06/2016 - 14:40

          @illumination:

          Nah i checked the online statement, they didnt charge me the money on the card (that would make sense too)

        • illumination on 29/06/2016 - 14:52
          +1

          @Ninjabredman: But surely there's no way they can force a $2-4 charge onto your phone bill. I don't believe that's possible.

      direct debit (takes up to 24hrs)

      or

      Credit card (has visa protection, you need some pin setup with the bank and the name on the credit card needs to be the matching name on this coles card)

      you can put any name you want on this reloadable master card, my card name is Ninja Bredman so I gave away my right to top up with credit card lol

      • anna10 on 01/07/2016 - 07:28

        Could you plse say how to get this to REload from a credit card, I couldn't see it on my account - only direct debit? Cheers

        • Ninjabredman on 01/07/2016 - 09:54

          I havent been able to load it via credit card but after a brief chat from customer service line we established the coles mastercard must have same name as the credit card you're loading with and also you need a Pay by Visa 4digit password that you need to organize with the bank

          i just use the direct deposit unfortunately

  • dealsniper on 29/06/2016 - 14:24

    is the redeem 2000 flybuys points for $10 off coles shop automatic? i want to link my flybuys but don't want to if it auto uses up my accumulated points.

        • brongz on 29/06/2016 - 14:41
          +1

          it's not automatic, but the screen will show you choice whether to redeem now or later. it's not like woolies that automatically deduct $10.

    • Godric on 29/06/2016 - 14:28

      Its automatic but you can call them up to disable it, then youll just need to convert the points manually into dollars

      • brongz on 29/06/2016 - 14:39

        it's not automatically redeemed $10. online setting will give you choice to activate the redeem process.
        if you turn it on when you shop at coles it still asking you whether you want to redeem or not. if it is off there is no offer to redeem it on the screen

    • brongz on 29/06/2016 - 14:36

      it's not automatic. it will give you a choice whether to redeem or not

    • illumination on 29/06/2016 - 14:40

      To get the prompt you have to turn it on yourself, but it's never automatic. You have to say yes or no after that. You can turn off the prompt though.

  • yessum on 29/06/2016 - 14:27

    • Ninjabredman on 29/06/2016 - 14:34

      it's a prepaid credit card that offers anonymity for the user to shop online, signup to sites that require credit cards, or even just a prepaid credit card to replace your existing flybuys card

      • Godric on 29/06/2016 - 14:38

        How does it offer anonymity though?

        Unless you used fake details to register the card and flybuys and purchased the card with bitcoin.

        Im sure im wrong but I dont understand : (

          Yes, on signup you can put any name you want on the card, you can pay the original signup of the card with another fake credit card (if you are that hardcore)

          my Coles Mastercard has my username on it

          and because it's a prepaid card, use it and dump it

        • skyva on 29/06/2016 - 15:52

          @easternculture:
          Doesn't parcel locker require the sim to be in a phone to receive messages and therefore require an imei? I have not used parcel locker yet but if so it doesn't seem truly anonymous. Or can you not use the number and just use a short term email.

          If it is refillable it might be worth the trouble over a purely disposable preloaded credit card.
