Just wondering about something. I put on the application my Miles & More number that is on my German Miles & More credit card. I do have a base M&M number and I was wondering if I should have put that one on the application. But I tried signing into my account using that base number and it was impossible to do so. So I thought maybe that number had been deactivated. The problem comes from M&M using lots of different numbers for the same client.

Reviving the thread as a relatively newcomer to Switzerland. Had a look around and none of the cards with miles are particularly enticing (M&M redemptions seem quite expensive and have high fees). Currently with a 1% Cashback card Amex and a free (special offer) Viseca gold for insurance benefits and similar.
I switched to Sanitas for health insurance who allow Visa/MC for the premium payment, with the +1 and GE rates it's a decent pile of money/points to be made. Looking at my cc spending and the upcoming Sanitas bills, the Cornercard Platinum w/ 1.5% cashback and 500 CHF fee (250 first year) seems to make most sense. Am I missing something obvious out there? Btw happy to take someone's referral for the Cornercard - they seem to be paying 120 CHF for that.Edit: submitted my application. Seems like referrals only work via mail-in paper applications that are only available in DE/FR/IT.
