Six key facts at a glance, one pattern: the Myer Gift Card ecosystem has expanded beyond the department store itself, now covering major grocery and discount chains.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Minimum value | $5 |
| Maximum value | $500 |
| Online redemption | Yes, at myer.com.au |
| Physical card delivery | Free |
| eGift delivery time | Immediately via email |
| Accepted at Coles | Yes (Coles Group card variant) |
The pattern: most features are consumer‑friendly (free delivery, instant eGift), but the card’s utility depends heavily on which variant you hold.
Where can I use a Myer Gift Card?
Myer stores and online
- All Myer physical stores across Australia accept Myer Gift Cards, and the same cards work for online purchases at myer.com.au (Myer official gift card page).
Coles Group stores (Coles, Target, Kmart)
- The Coles Group & Myer eGift Card is accepted at Coles, Target, Kmart, and Myer — a combined network of more than 1,000 locations across Australia (Myer official gift card page).
Not all Myer Gift Cards are multi‑brand. Only the specific Coles Group & Myer eGift Card works at the grocery and discount chains. Standard Myer Gift Cards are restricted to Myer only.
Qantas Marketplace redemption
- Myer Digital Gift Cards can be purchased through Qantas Marketplace for $25, redeemable at any Myer store or online at myer.com.au (Myer official gift card page).
Why this matters: Qantas frequent flyers can use points to offset the cost, effectively turning loyalty rewards into Myer credit.
How do I check my Myer Gift Card balance?
Online balance check via retailer site
- Visit retail.myergiftcards.com.au/CheckBalance, enter the 17‑digit Card Number and 4‑digit Access Code found on the back of the card (or last 17 digits for eGift cards) (Myer Official Gift Card Balance Checker).
- No fees apply for balance inquiries (Giftcards.com.au – balance checker).
The process is simple and free, but keep your card number and code handy — you’ll need both. For corporate gift cards, separate terms may apply.
Phone or in‑store balance check
- For support or balance inquiries by phone, call 1300 304 990 or email support@giftcards.coles.com.au (Giftcards.com.au support page).
- In‑store, ask any Myer customer service desk to check your balance.
The trade‑off: phone support shares the Coles system, so wait times may vary. In‑store checks are instant but require visiting a physical Myer.
Can I use a Myer Gift Card at Mecca?
- Myer Gift Cards are not accepted at Mecca stores or online. Mecca operates its own gift card program (Myer official gift card page).
The implication: if you’re a Mecca shopper, a Myer card won’t help — you’ll need a Mecca gift card instead.
Can I convert my Myer Gift Card to cash?
- Myer Gift Cards cannot be converted to cash, refunded, or exchanged for cash. They are treated like cash if lost or stolen — no replacement (Myer official gift card page).
The catch: this is standard gift card policy in Australia, but it means the card’s value is locked to the Myer ecosystem. Plan your spending carefully.
How do I send a Myer Gift Card online?
Purchase and email delivery
- Buy an eGift Card at myer.com.au/content/gift-cards – choose a value between $5 and $500, add a personal photo or video message, and deliver instantly by email (Myer official gift card page).
Physical card delivery
- Physical gift cards can be ordered online with free delivery, arriving in standard mail (Myer official gift card page).
eGift cards are immediate but cannot be used at Coles or Kmart unless you specifically purchase the Coles Group & Myer eGift Card variant. Physical cards take days to arrive and are at risk in the mail — treat them like cash.
Confirmed facts
- Myer Gift Cards are redeemable in‑store and online at Myer.
- Coles Group & Myer eGift Card works at Coles, Target, Kmart.
- Balance can be checked online using card number and access code.

For Australian shoppers, the Myer Gift Card offers real flexibility — especially the Coles Group variant — but the restrictions on cash conversion and lost cards mean the value is best used promptly and thoughtfully. The choice is clear: if you want maximum reach, get the Coles Group & Myer eGift Card; if you only shop at Myer, the standard card works fine.
