Pay for purchases with Membership Rewards points

Thanks to Pay with Points1, you can redeem your Membership Rewards points even more flexibly. You can settle selected purchases or restaurant visits that you paid for with your American Express Card directly in the Swisscard app with your points. This also applies to selected online shops and the payment services provider PayPal.

An additional plus: You collect additional Membership Rewards points with every purchase2. As long as you are the holder of a valid American Express Card that participates in the Membership Rewards program, the points you collect do not expire.

Pay with Points is this simple in the Swisscard app
