Double Cumulus for credit cards - Why not for gift cards too?

Doppelte Cumulus für Kreditkarten - Warum nicht auch für Geschenkkarten ?

I think it's fundamentally unfair to other customers if you only give double Cumulus points to Cumulus credit card holders. Why don't redeemers of Migros gift cards receive double Cumulus points? It could be that there are people among them who, for very personal reasons, don't want to live on "credit" (dialect = "on credit") and therefore deliberately want to do without this way of life .... I haven't even mentioned the equally large group of cash payers (vernacular = "Only cash is king")...

Hello @Polarstern90 Thank you for your request. So that you don't have to live on credit, you could also pay an amount of money directly into the credit card and thus consciously do without credit. Sebastian

@Sebatian_Migros : That's exactly why I buy the Migros gift card - and have it reloaded at the information desk - and with it I can easily make cashless payments if I want to use SelfScanning or SelfCheckout, for example :-) - So why all this effort with the credit card? I just think it's unfair treatment - also towards cash payers! At least be honest: it's all about this "battle of the giants" ... about these 600,000 credit cards in circulation ... because the others give 1Rp per 1Fr. turnover... mmmh ;-)

The double Cumulus points at Migros when using the card are not always available. The offer is limited to one year. In other words, from the date the card is issued, the cardholder receives 2x points on Migros purchases for one year, after which it ends. It's an incentive to get people to apply for the new card. The fact that such incentives are offered is nothing new. Until now, the first issue of Cembra Cumulus points came with an extra 3000 points. Didn't that bother you? SPAR now has a credit card again. With this you get 1 savings point for every CHF 1 you spend at SPAR. You also receive a starting credit of CHF 50 if the card application is successful, i.e. you receive the card. Does that bother you too? There are offers like that. Some people use them, others don't.

Yes, this is a promo for a new product. If the gift cards were also new, there would probably also be a promo for them. (e.g. paying CHF 80.00 for a 100-franc gift card).

Yes, thanks for pointing out that 1% and 20% are worlds apart. I'm not jealous of all those who chase after these credit cards because of 1 Cumulus per 1 CHF (=1% discount) - regardless of the provider. For example, to spend CHF 750/month shopping at Migros, you have to be a die-hard Migros kid - that's 3* CHF 5 vouchers in the 2-month statement... but honestly, most people get a lot more and they come from the 20x... 40x... I just think these Punch and Judy campaigns with credit cards are counterproductive for all those who don't use them and then say: "buy elsewhere"...

Is that really surprising? It fits in perfectly with the business policy that has been practiced for years. More and more effort for binding Aktiönli, Bönli, China goods etc. Migros should go back to its roots. Simply good quality at reasonable prices. In the meantime, you will soon only be able to buy promotions and M-budget. With everything else, you (or I) often feel ripped off by M.
