Our Take on TUI Visa Bonus Card Exclusive
Concierge service, CHF 20,000 trip insurance, and better FX fee. TUI's premium offering. But still no medical coverage.
The TUI Visa Bonus Card Exclusive is TUI's premium tier: concierge service via Allianz Travel, CHF 20,000 trip cancellation, and a better 1.75% FX fee. At CHF 216 annually, it serves premium TUI travelers. The notable gap: still no medical coverage abroad, which is unusual at this tier.
Is CHF 216 Worth It?
For TUI loyalists who need concierge, potentially yes. Concierge service via Allianz Travel handles reservations, travel planning, and assistance. CHF 20,000 trip cancellation (doubled from Gold) protects expensive trips. CHF 3,000 purchase protection covers significant purchases.
The 1.75% FX fee is better than lower tiers (2%). Combined with double foreign earning, international spending becomes more competitive. But the missing medical coverage is a significant gap at premium pricing.
What Actually Stands Out
The concierge service differentiates from Gold. Restaurant reservations, event tickets, travel planning, emergency assistance. For travelers who value this support, it adds genuine convenience.
Free emergency card replacement once yearly provides peace of mind. MyCountry double points abroad continues. Apple Pay and Google Pay work. Additional cards cost CHF 108.
What Most Reviews Miss
No medical coverage abroad at exclusive tier is genuinely unusual. Most premium cards include CHF 200,000+ medical coverage. TUI Exclusive charges CHF 216 and includes zero health protection. If you get sick traveling, you're on your own.
For complete protection, you need separate travel insurance. The card handles trip logistics and cancellation, not health emergencies. Our credit card insurance guide compares coverage across all Swiss cards.
The Bottom Line
Good concierge and trip insurance, but the missing medical coverage is a notable gap at premium pricing. Consider if you have separate health insurance and want TUI ecosystem integration with concierge. Compare alternatives in our best premium credit cards in Switzerland guide.
Verdict: Worth considering for TUI VIPs who have separate medical insurance. The coverage gap limits appeal compared to complete premium cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is the supplementary card so much more expensive than the TUI Gold?
- TUI charges CHF 108 per supplementary card per year on the Exclusive tier, the steepest in this comparison set. No free allotment is included. If you plan to add a partner to the Bonus program, that's CHF 108 a year on top of the main fee. The Gold sibling stays at CHF 72.
- Is there a hard monthly spending cap on this card?
- TUI publishes a CHF 90,000 monthly limit, effectively no ceiling for normal use. Most Swiss premium cards cap monthly spend at CHF 10,000 to CHF 20,000. If you put an annual insurance premium, a renovation invoice, or a big trip through in one billing cycle, you won't hit a wall here.
- Is the international cash withdrawal any cheaper than on the TUI Gold?
- Slightly. 5.75% on the Exclusive vs 6.00% on the Gold, both with a CHF 10 minimum. You save 25 basis points pulling cash abroad. On a CHF 500 withdrawal that's about CHF 1.25 of difference, not enough on its own to justify the upgrade.
