TUI and Corner Card VISA credit cart - what do you think?

Hi all.
TUI is offering a bonus card which basically is a VISA credit card from Corner Card/Bank.
You get it for free for the first year, then you'd have to pay Fr. 48.- yearly.
In addition to this, if you're granted the credit card, you get Fr. 200.- reduction on your booking and another Fr. 200.- reduction on the second booking.
You don't have to use it at all for paying - you can leave it without transactions apparently. And you can cancel/unsubscribe before the 12 months have passed.

What do you people think?

Ah, BTW: subscribing to this credit card also enables the travel insurance for the first booking.

It is called bonuscard.ch BTW
 
Hi

For users of TUI, this sounds interesting.

However, be careful about not having to use the card. Most credit cards have a minimum monthly payment. Looking at the conditions of this card, it looks like you need to pay at least 50 CHF per month into the card. But if you use TUI and if you use the card, it looks like the bonuses are quite fair, at least for the first year.
 
Sorry, my French ain't probably good enough: can you point me at the exact part of that document where it states that I have to spend at least Fr. 50.- per month? Could it be that you misunderstood and you're pointing at the fact that the minimum payment when the credit card invoice arrives is Fr. 50.- per month?!
Just read the German version of those documents and I read it the same as you, that is if you activate the credit function, meaning you do not have to pay the full amount of the monthly invoice, you still have to pay at least CHF 50, the remainder then being carried forward and incurring interest.
 
I may have misunderstood indeed. The way I read it is that the minimum payment is always 50 CHF. But reading it again and looking at other cards, it seems you two are right and this only applies if you do not pay the bill in full. If the bill is zero, there should not be any problem.
 
... and I can't imagine that in French it is stated differently (or that French-speaking clients are treated differently) ;-)
