How to Earn 10,525 Flybuys Points for $25 in Fees at Coles

Coles is giving 2,000 bonus Flybuys points on $100 and $250 Mastercard gift cards from 11 to 17 November 2026.

From Wednesday 11 November to Tuesday 17 November 2026, Coles is giving away 2,000 bonus Flybuys points on every $100 or $250 Coles Mastercard gift card you buy in-store.

Buy five $100 cards and you'll pay just $25 in fees for 10,525 Flybuys points. That's about $50 off a future Coles shop, or roughly 5,000 Velocity Points 👇

Big thanks to the team at FreePoints.com.au for spotting this one first. They're one of the best places in Australia to keep up with gift card and points promos.

💰 What you get

2,000 bonus Flybuys points per Coles Mastercard gift card ($100 or $250).

Limit: 5 gift cards per Flybuys account for the whole offer (not per day).

Fees: $5 on the $100 card, $7 on the $250 card.

Because the bonus is the same on both cards, the $100 card is the better deal for most people.

🧮 How the 10,525 points add up

Bonus points: 5 cards × 2,000 = 10,000 Flybuys points

Base points: $500 of cards + $25 in fees = $525 spent = 525 Flybuys points

Total: 10,525 Flybuys points for $25 in fees.

What that's worth:

🛒 As Flybuys Dollars: about $50 off your Coles shop (every 2,000 points = $10 off).

✈️ As Velocity Points: Flybuys converts to Velocity at 1,000 Flybuys = 500 Velocity Points, so 10,000 Flybuys points = 5,000 Velocity Points.

You’re getting $500 on gift cards that work almost anywhere, so apart from the $25 in fees, you haven’t spent anything extra. You’ve just moved $500 of normal spending through Coles first. 

✅ How to do it

1. Head to any Coles supermarket between 11 and 17 November 2026. It's in-store only, and you don't need to activate anything.

2. Find the Coles Mastercard gift cards on the gift card stand and pick up the $100 cards (up to 5).

3. At the checkout, scan your Flybuys card before you pay.

Your normal points usually land the next day. The 2,000 bonus points can take a few extra days to show up.

Heads up: this offer isn't showing in the Flybuys app. It's only in the Coles catalogue and on in-store posters, so don't panic if you can't find it in the app.

⚠️ Protect yourself from gift card scams

Scams with Mastercard gift cards are common, so take 30 seconds to check each card:

🔍 Look for scratched or exposed card details, resealed packaging, or cards sitting loose outside their packaging.

🔍 Open each card after it's scanned but before you pay. If anything looks off, don't buy it and hand it to Coles staff.

🔍 Spend the cards soon. Cards that sit unused for a long time are more likely to be targeted by scammers guessing card numbers.

🛍️ How to spend the gift cards

Use them anywhere Mastercard is accepted, like your weekly shop, fuel or bills you'd pay anyway.

They work best in-store. 

💡 Our take

Paying $25 for 10,525 Flybuys points is one of the cheapest ways to earn points this month. Grab the $100 cards early, because they're usually the first to sell out.
