I meant that I have already managed to sort the blue Cumulus vouchers by date in the app. At the moment they are only displayed by value and that is very impractical. Am I missing something?
It's very easy on the computer. However, the sorting there is not adopted in the app.

Sorting the blue vouchers by value makes sense in my opinion, because it is probably assumed that most customers will activate all vouchers right at the start. As you know, you can only use them if you pay with the QR code in the app/wallet... You can't use the barcode on the Cumulus card.
Logically, you would then first have to use all 20 CHF, then 10CHF and only at the end the 5CHF vouchers and this sequence even if the 5CHF vouchers are older.... these can be used for completely different things (mountain railroads, leisure activities).
I still use the conventional method because we split up these vouchers and this cannot be handled with the app. But even with this method, the date is secondary given the long redemption time - you really want to redeem the big values first.
If I were the sole redeemer of these vouchers, redeeming them exclusively at Migros (i.e. no exchange for other vouchers for railroads and leisure tickets), I would have a completely different suggestion for@Cumulus-Infoline
Why can't these vouchers in digital form be stored in an amount in the QR code and then debited exactly in francs/cents?
I also noticed that the vouchers can only be redeemed via this QR code. But that's not possible!!! Digital or with paper - why shouldn't an activated receipt with the card work? And the date thing makes sense. I want to use the oldest receipts first.
Now I'll probably just do it on paper again. But if Migros wants everything to work via the app - that's not how it works. I only noticed it because I couldn't find two receipts that had almost expired and was then able to redeem them via the app. But I didn't realize that this really doesn't work with the card. :-( Digital at Migros is not always a plus. Here a clear minus. And there were 20 vouchers. That's probably the only reason I saw them.
And I'm not interested in what Migros accepts! I don't always want to activate everything straight away, I want to use it selectively. Now I'm probably being patronized by Migros. But I know how to resist that :-)

@dinofan "I also noticed that the vouchers can only be redeemed via this QR code. But that's not possible!!! " Why ? Because the originals are no longer available, but there are some visible on the PC and no way to redeem them digitally with a smartphone?...then I would contact Cumulus-Infoline. The situation would be the same if the Cumulus statement does not arrive at all.
"And the date thing makes sense. I want to use the oldest vouchers first. " I don't dispute this in principle either, but there are 2 sorting options here: amount and date... and then the amount takes priority... Remember: these vouchers make up less than 10% of the total purchase in the period and they never get 6 months old for me.... with a validity of 2 years --- unless you lose the paper form.
"I don't always want to activate everything straight away, but use it selectively." Completely agree: for example, I use it exclusively and deliberately in the Migros restaurant, e.g. for lunch. If a meal for two costs CHF 36, I would like to use CHF 20, CHF 10 and CHF 5 and pay CHF 1 on top - even if I still have CHF 2 older CHF 5, for example. If we have a coffee after lunch, I can use an older 5CHF receipt... if two 5CHF are used instead of the 10CHF at lunch, I can't use the 10CHF because there is no change...
This is what I mean by the sorting of AmountOrderDate and not that a newer 5 CHF receipt is used before an older 5 CHF receipt.
@Cumulus-Infoline What exactly happens in this example if ALL blue receipts are activated and you pay digitally with the QR code? Sorting and corresponding debit: amount before date OR date before amount ??? Thanks for the clarification.
Hello everyone.
Unfortunately, sorting by date and amount is not yet possible in the Migros app. However, I have passed on your feedback to our IT department so that this can be taken into account in a future update.
Receipts can only be redeemed digitally using the QR code via the Migros app. This is for security reasons for our customers; so that vouchers cannot be redeemed by another person in the household who shows another additional card when shopping. Also so that a new account does not have to be created if a card is lost.
The expiration date takes precedence when activated vouchers are debited.
Best regards
Elias
Thanks for the information. But the "so that vouchers cannot be redeemed by another person in the household" is also funny: the other activated vouchers can then be activated and redeemed via the card without any problems. If I now want another person to be able to benefit from the blue vouchers, but they don't have the app, that won't work. And the same goes for losing the card: then you just give them a new card with the same number, don't you?
Anyway, it would be really great if we customers could decide for ourselves how these vouchers are redeemed. And while you're at it: as already mentioned, these blue vouchers should be redeemable at the online stores.
As Elias already wrote, redeeming the digital blue vouchers via QR code has to do with security. The example he gives is probably only half the truth, because the central point is that it's about money; more precisely, credit that the individual customer has earned with their purchases.
Everyone has probably experienced a Cumulus card being left lying around. You hand it over to the cashier, saying that someone has forgotten the card - and as a matter of routine, the card is scanned. If the credit had been saved on the card, it would now be gone; you would have paid for someone else's purchase (or part of it). However, you don't need to hand over your smartphone, the QR code is scanned with the hand scanner.
