I don't think so because Payback is not active in Switzerland (I often wondered what would happen if I tried to show my Payback card in a dm in Austria). Switzerland isn't too exciting at the moment for collecting miles, although though there is the Trophy stamp collecting promotion at the COOP supermarket. I will keep an eye out for other promotions though.

To get back to the main business of posting miles offers, here are a few just in. Once again, these are for Payback members residing in Germany and involve 6 month subscriptions to various magazines that offer 1,500 for 15 or less:

Remember that Payback points convert to M&M miles at a ratio of 1:1. There are quite a few subs in the 15-20 range as well, but I did not list them. Depends on your interests. Here is the main page with all the subs:

Payback hunters, it's not a big bonus but 400 points is better than nothing, for Condor bookings made through this link:

Now, I've not discovered any terms or conditions that state that you can't collect M&M miles as well, even though you don't get very many these days.

I know the last thing you guys would want to do is spend hard earned points or miles on magazine subscriptions (the idea must be a sacrilege to a FTer). But the following deal is quite a good one, if you fancy the Focus magazine (German language only) which I don't. Subs are quite dear for Focus normally, and rarely worth the miles you get for it. But 2,999 P is quite a reduction on the usual 16,241 P required:

For Payback, obviously. Good stuff, Oliver. Do you happen to have a link? I had my eye on a couple of garden magazines for the summer, which were a bit more at 18, but they were only offering 1,000P. So no deal. Would have gone for it if it was 1500P.

10-fold Payback day at Rewe (August 1, 2016 only)

Today there is "Super-Punkte-Tag" at the Supermarket REWE.

Only tiny restrictions (cigarettes, books etc. don't qualify).

For the rest of the goods you get tenfold Payback points which can be converted to Lufthansa Miles & More miles. Only at the store, not for home delivery.

Info can be found here:

It is higher than 2000P, not 5000P.

I guess this one is only interesting for users from DE and AT.

I did a transfer a week ago, all of 40,000 Payback points, and the 40,000 miles plus 10,000 bonus miles showed up in my account 3 days later.

As an aside, I think Payback is really going downhill. The Deutsche Leserservice will separate itself from Payback in January, meaning an end to all those magazine subscriptions with bonus points, often well under the target of 10 per 1,000 points. Also, the German chemist chain dm is changing the earn ration to 1 Payback points per 2 spend, contrary to the current 1 per 1. Of course, they're softening the blow with some 10x points vouchers to begin with, unlike the previous regular 5x vouchers.
