The crediting of MR points is conditional upon card issue following an examination of the card application, and will generally occur within eight weeks of card issue. If the applicant terminates the card contract within 13 months of card issue, the MR points will be canceled without replacement or recalled and the applicant will become retrospectively liable for the regular annual fee for the first year instead of the reduced annual fee (CHF 350). Swisscard will either charge the difference to the card account or invoice it separately.
