In the Migros branches of the Aare, Basel, Geneva and Zurich cooperatives, there were 25x and 40x advantage coupons on certain products. These resulted in many additional Cumulus points. I have not received any more advantage coupons for 2 weeks. Have they been abolished? That would be a great pity!
As I understand it, this was a pilot project which, if successful, would perhaps be introduced nationwide. What does it look like?
In my opinion, the newly introduced digital stamp cards are NOT a replacement!

Good morning pwilms
The POS advantage coupons are still available. However, you may currently belong to the control group and therefore not receive any coupons. I can't tell you at the moment whether the POS coupons will be introduced nationwide.
Greetings Natalie
Now I have to ask again.
I haven't received any advantage coupons for 4 weeks! Today I watched a few people at the Subito payment point and nowhere did I see a discount coupon come out. So I don't think I'm in a control group at the moment. I think they simply no longer exist.
Who is like me? Who used to receive advantage coupons and no longer does? Or to put it another way, who has received a 25x or 40x points advantage coupon in the last few weeks?
I hadn't received any for a while (approx. 1-2 months). For the last 2 weeks, I've been getting a discount coupon again when I pay. Just today again, 25 points on Wienerli.

So far, I've mostly been enthusiastic about the coupon offers. But something has changed in the last few weeks: Instead of one month to 6 weeks, you now only have a very short time to redeem these coupons. Today, Saturday (23.09.), I receive a coupon that I have to redeem by Tuesday (26.09.). Is it still possible?
@Federwolke
This is simply because the current period ends on the 26th. After that, coupons that are valid for longer will come back - again until the specified end of the period. Or perhaps the pilot project will then be completed. In any case, the validity period of the bonus coupons (always until the last day of the following month) is better solved.
Edit 19.09 hrs:
I've just heard that the pilot phase has been completed and that these advantage coupons will be issued throughout Switzerland from the end of September.
I'm excited then! I have not received any more advantage coupons. So that should change in the next 1 to 2 weeks.
@pwilms
If you have not received any more advantage coupons, you have either already received all of them or you have ended up in the control group.
Then I hope that it was a one-off incident due to the changeover. Because in the whole year during the test phase, it never happened that a receipt had to be redeemed within a few days. So it's really stressful, as was mentioned in another thread a few weeks ago. Normally I wouldn't let myself be hounded about it, but I've been waiting for this offer as there's a lot needed seasonally and I need to replenish my supplies. This now means - as I'm going on vacation for a week on Tuesday - that I have to go back to MMM Marktgasse on Monday just because of this offer (I had actually bought everything I needed today), as the items in question are only available there. All the more incomprehensible because I didn't receive any discount coupons in the first two weeks of September, and now this fire drill. So a lot has gone wrong recently...
@Federwolke
I think you've just been lucky so far. I've often found that a coupon could only be redeemed for a few days. I'm curious to see if there will be any changes to the validity period with the definitive introduction.
