Coles MasterCard is giving away 100,000 Flybuys points, yes you read that right! I think it is worth $500. The points are available on the condition of spending $3,000 in the first 90 days and has an annual fees of $99. Then another 20,000 Flybuys points in the 2nd year.

When you spend the $3,000 to get the points, you also earn an extra 2 Flybuys points per $1 spent, which is another 6,000 Flybuys points = $30.

Essentially, it's $530 up for grabs at the cost of $99 in the first 90 days net benefit of $430. Another $100 in the second year with another $99 fee. It's a great way to pay for a month's grocery!!

Issued by Citi.

      I don't think Coles cards have 2 year price protection now. It was discounted while merging with citi last year. Only those cards which had the cover activated before March last year has the same protection. New cards have different insurer and different terms

    • wfdTamar on 02/10/2019 - 10:27

      I would suggest a 28 degrees to compliment the Coles as then you get price protection option from any seller.

      • bohn on 02/10/2019 - 17:52

        Price protection isn't available anymore. Even for existing card holders. If you already had it activated it's fine.. for now.

    Can't get past the second page of the application, no error messages, just won't process. Tried two browsers, no adblock or popup blockers. Pretty hopeless.

    The "save application" also failed, this is just a waste of time.

    Just so you guys know. You can convert 100000 points to 500 flybuys dollers and then use your flybuys card as regular debit card in kmart/coles/target to spend your $500

    • muncan on 01/10/2019 - 22:41

      Finder reckons the Woolies Platinum card comes with a $50 egift card (under the Pros & Cons tab) with no annual fee for 1st year, but I can't see any mention of this on the Woolies site. They might be having a laugh. Also $50 < $500.

  • elgrande on 01/10/2019 - 23:06

    Do you have to spend the fly buys dollars in $10 increments?

    Have a current Citi visa from the last promotion but no Coles Mastercard. Am I a new customer?

  • Mokr on 01/10/2019 - 23:17

    It says for every one dollar spent you gain 2 flybuys points.

    So it's a 1 percent return on spend. Sounds good right?

    • scbrother on 02/10/2019 - 08:18

      Yes. Spend $1000 and get $10 in rewards.

      • crazyboy on 02/10/2019 - 19:16

        Plus $5 extra on your flybuys for $1000.

    net benefit of $430
    Yeah, $3,000 is a lot to spend on grocery in 90 days to be frank.

    I would prefer to save that $3,000 and not get $430 savings. That is an equivalent of 14.33% off (430/3k).

    • TomGum on 02/10/2019 - 00:03

        • idonteven on 02/10/2019 - 00:10
          +1

          It doesn't say you need to spend 1k in groceries each month for three months.

          If you're an independent adult, it's pretty easy to spend 3k in 90 days. Bills, insurance, buying junk you don't need and groceries.

    I have tried to apply for this multiple times. When applying Coles doesn't like my address even though it suggests it as I type so rejects saving the page. Then when I try to give Feedback it also fails with a range of errors.

    I actually called the Coles customer help line yesterday to ask for help, and all I was told was to try different browsers, reset cookies/cache etc. All things I'd already tried before calling.

    • gadgetguy on 02/10/2019 - 08:45

      Yes, total failure of online application. Ominous sign of what is to come if you sign up :)

  • bmett on 02/10/2019 - 09:18

    Sounds very interesting. Can someone confirm to me that a balance transfer is an 'eligible transaction' for the needed $3000 in the first 90 days? e.g. if I balance transfer $3000, I get the 100k FB points?

    • gadgetguy on 02/10/2019 - 09:22

      Extremely unlikely - the list of eligible transactions for the Virgin Credit card (also owned by Citi) is very restrictive. Not saying it will be the same but its possible.

    • soan papdi on 02/10/2019 - 09:59
      +1

      Correct. You get 1x when you scan your flybuys barcode (on the back of your credit card), then 2x for the actual dollars spent on the card. Also, not just Coles but any KMart, Target etc.

  • WaywardOne on 02/10/2019 - 10:29

    Does this card provide price protection?
    It's mentioned here https://www.finder.com.au/coles-source-account-cover-plus 24 months from same retailer. Is that still true?

  • blueyez on 02/10/2019 - 11:18

    Would this be a more valuable offer than say a regular velocity card with 100k points, due to the bonus transfers that happen a few times a year??

    • Fexofenadine on 02/10/2019 - 14:34

      100k Flybuys points is equivalent (with 15% May/November bonus) to 50k Velocity points.

    Is there possibility to get the points (after one or two years period), then get rid of the card? I mean close the account if we feel we don't need it. Or close the account at any time we desire? Any restriction on that?

    • LoungeLizard on 02/10/2019 - 18:05

      You can close any account at any time (provided you pay it off in full, of course) however be careful opening/closing accounts too often as it may negatively impact your credit rating.

          That would depend on the bank and/or reporting agency, however I know some people that get new CC's every 12-24 months and seem to be OK so far.
