Is there an app (like Woolworths money), where you can store Coles giftcards on, especially physical ones?
Coles Gift Card App?

As the two previous comments have strongly implied, there is no official app from Coles Group where you can store gift cards and automatically:
- View the type of gift card it is at a glance,
- View the opening and current balances,
- See recent transactions
I personally use Stocard, and use the text description to note the type of gift card (as I use the “Coles” gift card type to store Coles Group & Myer gift cards, Coles gift cards and Coles Groceries & Returns gift cards), the PIN and the balance. However, the balance obviously requires me to remember to write the updated balance in the description. It is definitely not as seamless as the Woolworths Money app, but I can make it work for me.
I will note that someone has developed their own app to store a gift card issued by Coles Group and allow you to check its balance at a touch of a button, but whether you want to trust some random person’s app is up to you.

I use this app, never had an issue and it works very well (though obviously not as well as Woolworths Money app). Would be so much better to have a native Coles app, but it is the best solution at the moment for me.
They say "Note that we do NOT store your card numbers on any server and they are only stored locally on your phone".
Basically, you put the card details in once, but whenever you want to update the balance, it requires you to do a Captcha equivalent, then it saves the balance of the card locally. The balance does not update otherwise.
Thanks everyone.
Yeah I was hoping for balance updates & previous transactions.
For the physical cards, can you just scan the barcode on the back & pop in the pin at the checkout?

Yes.
Stocard?
