Feel free to comment, to add, to correct, ....
I will update the promotions on this 1st post, unless someone shows me how to create a wiki?

Just click on "thread tools" and then "create a wikipost". I created it for you, feel free to edit it further!

Also, the value for Swiss credit cards is terrible, as usual.

Thanks a lot. Apparently this option is not given to quiet new members :(:)


In fact, it's depressing compared to other european credit cards :(. Better not start comparing with the US :mad::mad::mad:.

Beware the foreign currency fees.

Cornercard has 0.9% == good
Swisscard, Bonviva has 2.5% == pretty bad

The Aargauer Bank has released some new products.

NAB Packages, very similar to bonviva from CS.

MyNAB (mynab.ch)

Well NAB are a subsidiary of CS, so quite normal that they have similar products, it's really a carbon copy.

20K at new silver swiss miles and more credit card application
 

20K at new silver swiss miles and more credit card application and 60.- first year fee.

good 'til dec. 10th

NB: sorry, still can't do the update in the wikipost. Anyhow, I don't have this option from my board.:(

Last year (Sep) I cancelled my CornerCard as I dropped to Silver and didn't want to pay the yearly fee. I was told that Cornercard would have BA branded cards.
They are now available for sign-up.

The Diners card is pretty interesting.
Last bullet point sold it for me. Just applied.

NB: If you wish, on top of that, a saving of CHF 100.- on the first year credit card fee, PM (before signing up) for the procedure.

150fr Beitrittsgebühr/Finance d’adhésion unique plus annual fee (220fr)? Bold move, cornercard

Welcome to Switzerland..

I just had cornercard on the phone for something else, but asked them about that 150.- fee. They told me, even if it's written down, they never ask these 150.- for all (old and new) customers. The operator also double checked it with the right departement.

The "Beitrittsgebühr" has been there for many years, but has never actually been charged.

This deal for the classic card combo is available again. 20'000 miles, first year half price (60chf), offer valid until November 15th. 1.25 M&M miles/2 CHF with the AMEX card and 1 mile/2CHF for the MasterCard.

Looks like a pretty good deal to me (apart from the 2,5% forex fee), unless there's something obvious I missed?

I got this one early this year as well, but I'm seriously considering getting rid of it before I need to pay the 250,- yearly fee for the 2nd year.

Any tips/pitfalls for handling the cancellation?
