My partner and I are long-standing members of the Migros cooperative and both have our own Cululus cards. Sometimes I pay, sometimes she does. Occasionally we get a double voucher for purchases over 100 and four times a year (or so) we receive the Cululus mail with more promotional vouchers (not the blue ones).
For some time now, Migros has taken the liberty of patronizing us and forbids me from redeeming a double voucher that my partner received when she made a purchase with her card and then gave to me because I didn't have any more in my wallet (or vice versa). It's the same with the promotional vouchers.
What is this harassment?!
Do I now always have to keep a 'record' of who is allowed to redeem which voucher? Or should I fill my already overflowing wallet with another Cumulus card? Or attach even more barcode stickers?
Please change this restriction. I don't want to have to be annoyed at the till on a regular basis.
Merci villmal and regards
grandizh

As soon as a purchase reaches a value of at least CHF 100, the cash register spits out a 2x "bonus coupon" (from CHF 500) together with the receipt, which can be redeemed on one of the next purchases within the period up to the last day of the following month. These "bonus coupons" are to be understood as something like a bonus, because you have made a purchase for such a high amount. The customer who has achieved this bonus should also be able to redeem it. Therefore, these "bonus coupons" are not transferable, which can also be read on them. They are therefore linked to a specific Cumulus account and can only be redeemed with the corresponding Cumulus card (barcode/number). This prevents another customer from benefiting from this bonus because the original recipient (entitled person) has carelessly left the "bonus coupon" in the goods trough.

Well, that was still possible until about a month ago. Besides, I don't want to unlawfully redeem someone else's receipt.
Incidentally, it's probably your own fault if you carelessly leave your receipt in the goods trough.

No, it has never been possible to redeem a "bonus coupon", which is spit out by the cash register, with another Cumulus card. In other words: "Bonus coupons" have never been transferable.
Vouchers from the bimonthly Cumulus mailing, the "Migros Magazine", promotional brochures, personal product mailings, Facebook or - as is currently the case - from the newsletter are not linked to a specific Cumulus number.

As far as the yellow advantage vouchers (5x) from the Cumulus mail-order service are concerned: it is now no longer possible to redeem more than one of these vouchers per card. This prevents a single voucher from being used more than once during its period of validity (Subito self-scanning).

@deactivated user : This answer regarding the bonus coupon is unfortunately not correct.
Until about 1 month ago, it was perfectly possible to redeem a BonusCoupon (2x/5x)
with a different Cumulus card number. This system change has only recently become active.

@grandizh can also take advantage of the 5-fold Cumulus, which is being offered right now between August 4 and 10. "The advantage coupon can be redeemed once", i.e. I can redeem the coupon 1* per Cumulus card... So @grandizh can redeem it 2*: once for him, once for his partner (at least in Eastern Switzerland).
I find it rather unfair that in most places such a voucher can only be redeemed at either Lebensmittel or MiCasa or SportXXX, because the 3 types of store are separate. But when I go to Pizolpark, I can see that these 3 types of store are connected to each other and so I can accumulate my purchases. I now think that such a voucher should be valid per day in the same M cooperative area and be cumulative for all of them - certainly no problem for the computer control...
