anyone used the amex membership rewards swiss airline vouchers?

hello-

i'm trying to figure out if getting the swiss airline vouchers is worth it from the american express membership rewards program. my fiance and i are getting married in switzerland in june and i'm looking for flights right now.

has anyone used them? any problems in booking the flight that you wanted? during peak season (summer and winter)?

thanks.

Hi Theresa,

You get a voucher for the cost of your annual fee (but max 300 CHF i think). You can use them anytime as a "coupon" during payment.

The big caveat is the ticket you apply them against has to cost more the 999CHF.

And worse - only if it originates in CH

Cheers

I think the OP is talking about the american express membership rewards program, not the Swiss based program of Swisscard.....

I think we are mixing up two different things here.

The OP is asking about the American Express Rewards vouchers, not the voucher you get when having a Swiss M&M American Express card with "Value Pack".

I can't comment on the American Express Rewards vouchers, tough.

EDIT: Somehow I have missed Fly-Swiss' post above.

I assume you are referring to the 50k ticket to Europe. You probably already got your tickets... if not it might be time Not sure if you have taken that route... If so it would be interesting to know, since I just ordered the certificate last week.

So has anyone used this Amex Reward? I'm talking about the 50k points for a R/T ticket to Europe.
I'd like to do this myself but my concern is the taxes.

Thanks for any feedback
