The Coles Rewards Mastercard earns 2 Flybuys points per $1 on all eligible purchases — not just at Coles — which works out to roughly 1% back when you redeem points for Flybuys Dollars at the checkout. It also charges no international transaction fees and includes complimentary travel insurance, unusual for a supermarket card. The A$99 fee is covered by about A$10,000 of annual spend.
