Top Airline Miles Credit Cards for Swiss Residents
For Swiss travellers seeking to maximise their air miles, several credit cards stand out as the best options. Here's a roundup of the top choices:
- SWISS Miles & More Platinum Credit Card Duo
This premium card, issued by American Express and World Mastercard, offers a combination of high miles earning potential, exclusive SWISS flight benefits, and comprehensive travel insurance. Cardholders can earn up to 2.4 miles per CHF 2 spent with the Amex Platinum, and 1 mile per CHF 2 with Visa or Mastercard Platinum. The annual fee is CHF 700, with a monthly spending limit of CHF 80,000. Additional perks include no expired miles, car rental discounts, global support, mobile wallet support, and purchase protection.
- Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard®
This card, issued by Lufthansa Miles & More, is a good choice for frequent flyers of Lufthansa and partner airlines. It offers 2X miles on flight purchases, a sign-up bonus (~50,000 miles), annual companion ticket, two Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers yearly, and no foreign transaction fees. The annual fee is $89, and benefits are primarily focused on Lufthansa flights and European travel.
In addition to these domestic options, global premium travel cards like Chase Sapphire Preferred®, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, and Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card can provide broader airline miles earning opportunities, but they are typically U.S.-based.
- Cornèrcard Miles & More Gold Combo Offer
This attractive option for Swiss travellers combines a Cornèrcard Gold and a free Diners Club card. Cardholders can earn up to one award mile per CHF 1 spent with the Diners Club card and one mile per CHF 2 spent with the Cornèrcard Gold. The welcome bonus for the Classic Combo is 5,000 miles.
- SWISS Miles & More Gold Credit Card Duo
This lower-tier alternative to the Platinum card offers many of the same features, including up to 2 award miles for every CHF 2 spent on the American Express Gold, and 0.8 miles for purchases made with the Visa Gold or World Mastercard Gold. The annual fee is lower, and the card shares many of the same travel, purchase, and legal protections as the Gold tier.
- Flying Blue World Mastercard
Issued by Swiss payment card company Viseca, this card allows cardholders to earn up to 1.5 Flying Blue Miles (KLM, Air France, Kenya Airways) for every CHF 2 spent. The card offers benefits such as a welcome bonus of 10,000 award miles, no expired miles, first class check-in on any SWISS flight with a SWISS flight number and aircraft, a SIXT Platinum membership with upgrades, discounts of up to 15% on car rentals and 20% on limousine services, a four-hour mobility guarantee in case of breakdown, and additional rewards with SIXT+ and SIXT ride.
- International Airline Program
This programme offers up to 20% discounts on flights with premium airlines including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, SWISS, and Lufthansa Group carriers.
- American Express Platinum Card
This card offers Membership Rewards points on every purchase, which can be redeemed for products, services, or converted to airline miles with popular programs.
In conclusion, for Swiss residents, the SWISS Miles & More Platinum Credit Card Duo and the Lufthansa Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard® are the top airline miles credit cards. Other global premium travel cards can complement these for broader airline miles earning opportunities.
