Il Nostro Parere su SWISS Miles & More Classic

Il tuo compagno finanziario svizzero

17,000 welcome miles and dual cards (Amex + Mastercard) for CHF 120. Entry-level Miles & More earning.

The SWISS Miles & More Classic card is the affordable entry into the Miles & More program. At CHF 120 annually, you get 17,000 welcome miles, a dual-card set (Amex + Mastercard), and the ability to earn miles on everyday spending. For occasional SWISS or Lufthansa flyers, it starts building toward meaningful redemptions.

Is CHF 120 Worth It?

For miles enthusiasts, often yes. 17,000 welcome miles would cost roughly CHF 200-300 if purchased. 0.75 miles per CHF 1 on Amex (0.6 on Mastercard) means CHF 20,000 annual spending = 15,000 miles. Combined with the welcome bonus, year one delivers 32,000 miles.

A European short-haul award flight costs 15,000-20,000 miles. Year-one earnings could cover a round trip. The economics improve if you're already loyal to SWISS/Lufthansa.

What Actually Stands Out

The dual-card setup (Amex + Mastercard) is practical. Use Amex (0.75 miles/CHF) where accepted, Mastercard (0.6 miles/CHF) elsewhere. One annual fee, complete network coverage, optimized earning.

Miles & More points transfer to Lufthansa Group airlines, partner hotels, and other Star Alliance carriers. Apple Pay and Google Pay work on both cards.

What Most Reviews Miss

Insurance is minimal. CHF 150 flight delay coverage. No medical coverage abroad. This is an earning card, not a protection card. If you travel, you need separate insurance.

The 2.5% FX fee is high. International purchases cost you money. The miles earned don't offset FX costs on foreign spending. Use a different card for international transactions.

The Bottom Line

Affordable miles earning for occasional SWISS/Lufthansa flyers. The welcome bonus provides immediate value, and everyday spending builds toward flights. Upgrade to Gold for better rates if you spend heavily. Compare alternatives in our best travel credit cards in Switzerland guide.

Verdict: Good starting point for Miles & More. The dual cards provide network flexibility at entry-level pricing.

Ideale per: occasional SWISS or Lufthansa flyers building Miles & More balance, those starting their miles collection at an affordable price, budget-conscious travelers who want dual-card flexibility
Considera alternative se: you fly frequently enough to justify premium cards with better rates, you prefer straightforward cashback over miles programs, you need comprehensive travel insurance (not included here)
