Coles Gift Card Giveaways in Australia
Coles cards spend on groceries in store and online, and at Coles Express, so they cover both the shop and the fuel stop. Typically an eGift card code by email, presented at a register.
What a Coles prize card will not cover
A Coles gift card cannot be used to buy another gift card or to top up a Coles Mobile service.
Tax on a prize in Australia
A prize won in an ordinary game of chance is generally not assessable income in Australia, so a gift card or a cash prize from a promotion is usually yours in full and does not go on your return. The position changes if winning is connected to a business or an income-earning activity, which is why prizes won by influencers and professional competition entrants are treated differently. What a prize earns afterwards is ordinary income: interest on prize money in a savings account is interest like any other. The ATO is the authority on your own circumstances, not a promotions site.
Entering without paying
Entry to a game of chance must not require a purchase in the ordinary case, and where a promotion is tied to buying something there is normally a free entry method set out in the terms. The terms are the authority on which type a promotion is, and a promotion whose terms cannot be found at all is the one to walk away from.
