20% Off Coles Mobile Recharge vouchers again
Coles mobile recharge vouchers are available at any register, selection from screen, with details printing on receipt.
Found on Page 44 of the upcoming Coles Catalogue.
Recharge voucher amounts seem to be $25, $30, $195, $220, $240 and $280
from memory the recharge voucher expiry is 365 days, not too sure about the starter pack
10 months the last one I bought in Oct 2024
So I can buy these and use to recharge our 365 Coles mobile accounts in Jan/Feb?
Or it it only for new customers?
Can you use these to recharge some of the older 365 day plans… have the $120 one
I like to know too
I doubt it. Wife and both have that plan and it's a keeper if you need to call overseas, even to mobiles etc. I did use a cheap Coles voucher a few years ago, my renewal date changed and I lost my 50G of held-over data. I leave it at auto-renew now.
E.g. Wife's $120 just renewed late Sept. $120 and carried over 50G of data so she has 110G for the next 12 months which is way more than she'll ever need. Plus calls to 15 Countries. Mine is due to rollover in 9 days.
No, you can no longer buy vouchers for the older plans. During the last 20% sale in early October, I tried the self-serve checkouts in 2 different stores. The only 365 day recharges available for purchase were $195, $220, $240 and $280.
Providing you have an active $120 plan, you can still recharge it online (for $120) via the account portal.
That’s a shame..! I’ve been on the $150 plan for a few years now and always buy the 20% off recharge vouchers from the self-service checkout (usually combine it with a Flybuys promo to double dip). The last time I bought one was in November 2024, and the vouchers for the older plans were still showing then. I might check the self-service tomorrow, since they were still showing on the Coles app this morning.
Did a search on internet and found that Coles no longer offers $120 and $150 mobile recharge vouchers, as they were discontinued for new customers on November 9, 2023, and December 6, 2023, respectively.
@gm3stevens: What they're saying is that yes those plans have been discontinued for a while, but the recharge voucher for existing customers (not new customers) still showed up in the kiosk for the 20% off discount. You wouldn't be able to use the voucher if you weren't already on the plan. I was able to get it this time last year too, 20% off the $150 recharge, so only paid $120.
I'd love to know too if the now grandfathered plans are still showing up for the recharge discount.
confirmed no more vouchers for old plans showing on self serve, online/auto recharge is the only way then..

Sadly I am in the same boat with the $120 plan, if they really have removed the option to buy a voucher at the self serve checkouts, then the manual recharge via app/website is the only way to continue.
Question then is: is the $120 (now grandfathered) plan still the best 365 day option going around?
I'm on discontinued $150 plan. Only option to continue on this plan is to keep recharging through the app.
They have removed the international calls from the $169. 145gb plan .
Coles did not let me receive SMS when overseas. But lebara did. Why?
Because Coles uses Optus- and Optus doesnt let you get the SMS. Im surprised Vodafone does though, i thought it was just Telstra
Amaysim uses Optus and I get sms fine overseas with them.
I also received sms in China, Hong Kong and NZ while on Catch/Onepass mobile this year. But some people said they couldn’t receive it.
I had Coles, OnePass, and Lebara at the same time in Oct first week and only Lebara worked despite trying different phones
No issue receiving texts in Eastern Europe a couple of months ago
Great deal, I think I am onto my third year of this. After the first year they have just always offered me the 20% discount a month before the plan expires via the app. I have only paid $120 a year for 120GB. The bankers are always impressed when I go to apply for a new credit card or refinance and I tell them my phone expenses are only $10 per month!
I sim slut so hard mine don't believe me when I say I spend less than $60 a year. Like they literally don't believe me.
120$ for 120gb? Nice!
visited coles today, no option for $120 Recharge Vouchers. only full price now. $120 / 60G per yr
Can someone please help me with couple of questions.
1) Whats the validity of recharge voucher purchased from register? My present plan is expiring on 2nd Dec 25, can I buy today and will be able to use it on 2nd Dec ?
2) Does $220 recharge option includes international calling? Recharge option on app shows it does, but new plan on website says it doesn't.
Any help will be much appreciated, thanks all!!
Does it has a longer activation date unless the Boost one only 30 days from purchasse ?
