About EUR 420 in my book.

I think that is the best offer you will find for a Gold card in Switzerland (AECS Swisscard and Corner).

In that case, I am not sure how easy it would be to apply for one of the M&M cards issues in Switzerland.

In Switzerland, the Amex Membership Rewards points to FFP miles ratio is 2:1 for most programs, including the transfer to M&M, so that makes only 50k miles, not 100k, as the title of your post suggests. See details on the
Amex MR homepage for Switzerland (only for Avios, the rate is 3:2).
