Coles Mastercard or Financial Services to Redeem $10 When Purchasing Gift Cards

Hi Guys,

I haven’t purchased gift cards from Coles in a while, but today while purchasing an Apple gift card at self-checkout, I noticed that the option to redeem 2,000 Flybuys points for an instant $10 off no longer appears. I tested recharging an Opal card, and that still works though.

Has Coles closed the loophole for Coles Mastercard or Financial Services customers to redeem Flybuys points on gift card purchases? Has anyone else noticed this change?

*Some background: Previously, there was a loophole allowing Coles Mastercard or Financial Services customers to redeem 2,000 Flybuys points (instant $10 off) when purchasing gift cards.
