Our Take on TUI Visa Bonus Card Classic

Your Swiss Finance Companion
Adrien Missioux

CHF 48 for double Bonus points abroad and TUI travel access. Budget-friendly.

The TUI Visa Bonus Card Classic serves budget-conscious travelers with double points on foreign spending and TUI partnership benefits. At CHF 48 annually, it's among the cheapest travel-focused cards in Switzerland. The tradeoff: no travel insurance at this tier.

Is CHF 48 Worth It?

For TUI travelers, potentially yes. MyCountry double points abroad means foreign purchases earn twice the standard rate. If you spend CHF 3,000 abroad annually, the doubled earning can offset the fee. Bonus partner earning at select merchants adds additional value.

At CHF 48, the barrier is low. If you travel even a few times per year, the cost is manageable. The economics work better for frequent international spenders.

What Actually Stands Out

The budget pricing is the feature. CHF 48 is among the cheapest travel-focused cards available. Points redeem through the Bonus program for travel bookings, gift cards, and merchandise.

Access to TUI travel deals and promotions benefits loyal TUI customers. Apple Pay and Google Pay work. Additional cards cost CHF 24.

What Most Reviews Miss

No travel insurance at this tier. You get rewards but zero protection. If you get sick, your trip gets cancelled, or your luggage gets lost, you're on your own. The Classic tier is purely a rewards card.

The 2% FX fee is average, not competitive. Cards like Cornèrcard (1.2%) offer better foreign exchange rates. The doubled points partially offset this, but FX-sensitive spenders should evaluate carefully.

The Bottom Line

An affordable card for budget travelers in the TUI ecosystem. Limited benefits but low cost. If you want insurance, upgrade to Gold. Compare alternatives in our best travel credit cards in Switzerland guide.

Verdict: Decent for budget travelers who book through TUI. No insurance limits appeal for serious travelers.

Best For: budget-conscious travelers who want affordable points earning, TUI customers who benefit from partnership deals and promotions, international spenders who'll use the double foreign points
Consider Alternatives If: you want any travel insurance (not included at Classic tier), you don't travel abroad often (the foreign bonus won't benefit you), you prefer straightforward cashback over the Bonus points program
