Cornèrcard Miles & More Package deal Classic

20,000 welcome Miles & More miles plus 5 free lounge visits if you spend CHF 7,500.

The Cornèrcard Miles & More Classic Package offers entry-level Lufthansa miles earning at accessible pricing. At CHF 140 annually (first year CHF 70), it targets occasional Star Alliance flyers who want to accumulate miles without premium commitments. The conditional lounge access adds genuine value for moderate spenders.

Is CHF 140 Worth It?

Let's calculate the value. 20,000 welcome Miles & More miles are worth roughly CHF 200-400 depending on redemption (economy vs business class upgrades). The first year at CHF 70 makes year one essentially profitable.

Ongoing, you earn 0.4 miles per CHF 1 spent (0.5 miles on foreign purchases). On CHF 25,000 annual spending, you'd earn 10,000+ miles worth CHF 100-200. Plus bonus miles at thresholds: 750 miles at CHF 10,000 annual spend, up to 2,500 miles at CHF 30,000+. The math works for Star Alliance loyalists.

What Actually Stands Out

5 free lounge visits annually if you spend CHF 7,500 per year. That's roughly CHF 150-250 in value (lounges typically cost EUR 30-50). For moderate travelers who want occasional airport comfort without paying for unlimited access, this is genuinely useful.

You get both Visa and Diners Club cards in this package. Visa for daily use everywhere, Diners for the hellocashback.ch network (up to 11% at select partners). The 1.2% FX fee keeps foreign spending cost-effective.

What Most Reviews Miss

No Apple Pay (standard Cornèrcard limitation). Google Pay works, but iPhone users must carry physical cards. This affects daily convenience significantly.

Miles & More redemption value varies wildly. Business class upgrades offer great value per mile; economy flights are mediocre. If you're not strategic about redemptions, the miles might sit unused. Star Alliance availability can be limited for popular routes.

The Bottom Line

A solid entry point for Miles & More earning at accessible pricing. The conditional lounge access adds meaningful value for CHF 7,500+ spenders. Best for occasional Star Alliance flyers building miles over time. Compare alternatives in our best travel credit cards in Switzerland guide.

Verdict: Worth it for Star Alliance loyalists who spend CHF 7,500+ annually. The free lounges add tangible value.
