For those that missed the Finder offer last month, this is even better. $200 worth of flybuys points (40,000) and waive the first year's annual fee when you apply for the Coles Platinum Rewards card. I contacted them and they confirmed that there is no exclusion period if you have cancelled this card recently.

When you apply for a Coles Rewards Mastercard by 31 December 2020 and spend $500 or more on eligible Retail Purchases within 60 days of your Account approval date. Plus, enjoy 0% p.a. on Balance Transfers for 18 months, 1.5% BT fee applies (reverts to Cash Advance rate).1 No annual fee in your first year.5

    Do I still get the points if I cancel the card in the first few months with zero or one transactions?
    (As in just getting it for the points).

      Go MasterCard mate.

      Price and merchandise protection

      No annual fee

      One off setup fee

      Shitty rewards program though equivalent to $200 spend for $1 of rewards

      • itsfree on 06/11/2020 - 11:22

        I thought they stopped offering it to new applicants

        • Poor Ass on 06/11/2020 - 14:09

          Oh? It's an insurance on top right?

          Are you thinking of coles card because they did that

          • itsfree on 06/11/2020 - 15:09

            @Poor Ass: Latitude used to offer the insurance with their GO Mastercard, but they stopped doing so. The only card I could find mentioning price protection insurance is their Low Rate Mastercard, and it's only 30 days protection, like the other card companies offer now.

    • donkcat on 06/11/2020 - 06:27

      They can be converted to flybuys dollars which means they can be spent in dollar terms (2000 points $10) at Coles group stores eg Coles, Target, Kmart etc

  • p1723 on 06/11/2020 - 08:23

    $200 in one transaction after all savings and discounts…. Very difficult to do for a single person 😂

    For those having a mortgage refinanced every year or two and so want to maintain a good credit score, what’s an acceptable risk with credit checks (associated with applying for these credit cards) lowering your score?

    I imagine a maximum of 2-3 credit application a year is reasonable and so you may want to be picky and only go for cards with high rewards e.g. $500+ or 60,000 points or equivalent, which pop up quite often here.

      Yeah waiting for that one as well. Shame this card will get nerfed in 2021 now with the $3000 cap if you want 2 flybuys points per dollar. Maybe a lot of people transferred it to Velocity with the bonus so its not cheap for Coles it looks like.

  • howbazaar on 06/11/2020 - 22:23

    If I only wanted a credit card to pay off a balance transfer over 18 months, would the $500 I have to put through the card in the fist month mess with this? I'm not sure how the interest gets added on.

    • garbagetnt on 07/11/2020 - 01:10

      https://www.coles.com.au/credit-cards/existing-customers/faq…

      Balance Transfers

      What is a Balance Transfer?
      A Balance Transfer involves transferring the balance(s) on your other credit cards or loans to a Coles Mastercard. The balances transferred will receive a promotional interest rate for a set period of time and can be a great way to save on interest charges.

      Once your balance(s) has been transferred, you will need to close the other credit facilities you transferred balances from, as this will not occur automatically.
      A Balance Transfer lets you:

      Use up to 80% of your Coles Mastercard limit to transfer balances from other credit cards or loans, so long as you are transferring balances of $500 or more
      Take advantage of a lower interest rate for the period of the Balance Transfer
      Whilst taking advantage of the above benefits, you should remember that no interest free days are applicable to Retail Purchases when you have a Balance Transfer. This means that any purchases you make will be charged interest at the APR for Retail Purchases from the date of the transaction.

    • garbagetnt on 07/11/2020 - 01:19

      tbh you're better off applying for a virgin card as this has BT fee. say you're BT $10k, straight up it's already $150.
      on the flip side the other cards don't have BT fee but have annual fee, so you've just got to weigh it up.

    What is the interest free period on this card ?

    Is it still 60+ days or did that change after Citibank bought over

  • abobo on 07/11/2020 - 21:45

    Hi, has anyone try to use the Balance Transfer (BT) as a source of financing?
    For example, I have a $300k home loan, a $20K credit card and an off-set account with Bank A. On the day of applying for a $20K Virgin Credit Card, do a $16K cash advance from Bank A Credit Card to the Off-set account , Balance Transfer to the $20K Virgin Card and have zero transaction on the Virgin Credit Card and at the end of the 18 months interest free BT, transfer $16K from Bank A off-set account to pay back this Virgin Credit Card.
    The net effect is all I pay is the Virgin Credit Card fee of $64 first year + $129 second year versus the savings on my Bank A home loan of $16K @ 2.9% p.a x 18 mths = $696.00

    Anyone tried this ?

    • TooManyEbooks on 23/11/2020 - 13:46

      Did you end up trying this? I'm thinking about something similar.

  • CyberMurning on 14/11/2020 - 09:18

    key points to meet the requirements:

    To receive the 40,000 bonus points, you need to spend $500 or more on eligible Retail Purchases (excluding Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions, BPAY payments, purchases of foreign currency and travellers cheques, transactions made in operating a business, bank fees and charges such as interest and ATM charges) in the first 60 days of the Account approval date. You will receive the bonus points within 4 weeks of meeting the required $500 spend, credited to the Flybuys account linked to your Coles Mastercard. Include your Flybuys number on your application to receive this offer.

    This Coles flybuys credit card backend system is so good, I have just done the $500 spend requirement two days ago and just now I saw 40,000 points credit into my flybuys….

    Compare with other big banks they will wait weeks and weeks before giving out the cashback etc.

    Time to pay off and close the card…

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 06/12/2020 - 01:41

      Good to hear.

      Or not (automatically) at all. I've had to chase recent bonuses, which is extremely tedious.

      About a week since I made the qualifying spend and I've received the base points (relatively quickly) but no bonus points yet.

    i think they adding the bonus points at around the same time they generate statement (maybe someone checking and approving just before statement is out) so if me once i get a statement without the bonus points then i will be calling and asking

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 23/01/2021 - 17:07

      Got the statement and now got the bonus points.
