I found the following information at https://cumulus.migros.ch/de/cumulus-kreditkarte/cumulus-punkte-sammeln.html: "CHF 1 turnover in Migros = 1 Cumulus point". Outside Migros, as you correctly write, 1 point per 3 francs.

I also assumed that this was still valid. However, no more points arrived despite sales and credit card payments. Today I called several phone numbers to get through to someone at Migros Bank - even a kind of second level support. I asked him twice if this was true and he confirmed it. There are people from Migros reading here. If you read your link carefully, it says at the end: 1 franc turnover equals one point and that you should scan the code. And that's correct. The first support team also wanted to explain to me that this is good and sufficient. Is that even slightly misleading? He also said that there were promotions and that it depended on when you bought your credit card. As I was one of the first, the promotion period is now over. Back then, I think I got double the points.

It's always been like that, even at Coop. That's probably why I paid at Coop with my Migros credit card for over 20 years and vice versa. Today I pay here as well as there - and also with third parties - with the Certo Mastercard. I practically only use the Migros credit card to collect Cumulus points.

I'm afraid you're right, at least as far as Migros is concerned. A store manager friend of mine does the same and pays with Certo. I rarely use Coop (but I also have a credit card). If they tick in the same way, then I think they are relying on people's stupidity or laziness. What use are the new promotions where you get more points for a short time - if you then lose the old customers because you don't look after them.

In keeping with the European Championships, you could say that Migros has scored an epochal own goal by discontinuing its collaboration with Cembra. The counterattack with the cashback could hardly have been foreseen.

But I think that's first-year business studies: if you want something, you have to provide an incentive and people aren't stupid. Buying at Migros and paying with the Migros Card are two different things for which you have to give separate incentives. Both have to be worthwhile

I received another reply from support. It really is the case that the old cards no longer get anything extra for using the card. But it's written in such a coded way that many people won't notice. But don't they also look at their account? They don't even know how to use genders properly ;-) And whether the new cards get the points in addition to the Cumulus points is also not properly stated. As the advertising used to say: I'm not stupid ;-) Quote: Customers who apply for the Cumulus credit card by 31.12.2023 at the latest will receive double points for purchases within Migros for one year from the date the card is issued. If you apply for the Cumulus credit card after 31.12.2023, you will receive one Cumulus point for every CHF 1 spent within Migros. Outside Migros, you will receive one Cumulus point for every CHF 3 spent outside Migros.
