Our verdict

Offers 20,000 bonus Flybuys points and 0% interest on purchases for the first 6 months, but there’s a higher interest rate after that.

The Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard is one of the few credit cards offering both rewards and no annual fee. With the current offer of 20,000 bonus Flybuys points, you could save $100 on shopping at Coles, Kmart, Target and other partners by redeeming them for Flybuys Dollars. Or, convert them to 10,000 Velocity Points. You also earn the equivalent of 0.5 Flybuys points per $1 on eligible spending, even with brands that aren’t Flybuys partners. This card was highly commended in the 2023 Finder Awards Best No Annual Fee Credit Card category for its features. But it’s worth noting some other reward cards offer higher earn rates.

Right now, you can also save with 0% interest on purchases for 6 months when you apply by 29 February 2024. And with new Finder research showing the average Australian is planning to spend $1,479 over the Christmas season, this offer could save you a lot compared to paying with a credit card that charges interest. Just make sure to factor in the 19.99% p.a. interest rate that applies after that, because it could quickly add up if you’re still paying off purchases.

Cons

The Coles No Annual Fee Mastercard gives you a way to earn points on your credit card spending without ever paying an annual fee. Its current introductory offer also gives you a way to earn more points and save on upcoming purchases. But remember to factor in the card’s potential costs, including the the 19.99% p.a. purchase rate that applies after the interest-free period ends.
