Where and how can I spend my Holiday Benefits with my Swile card?

✅ Holiday Benefits can be used to pay for the following, as long as it’s for your holidays:

• Accommodation: hotels, campsites, caravan parks, holiday villages, motels, resorts, holiday cottages, guest houses, unique stays and seasonal rentals through estate agencies.
• Transport: flights, train or coach tickets. For public transport, payment must be made at ticket machines, ticket offices or station counters. You can’t use Holiday Benefits to pay directly at metro gates or on buses.
• One-off sports or leisure activities: skiing, surfing, climbing, skydiving, bike hire, swimming pool entry and sports equipment hire.
• Artistic or cultural activities: museums, guided tours and visits to historical monuments.
• Concerts and shows.
• Holiday camps and day camps, provided you pay the organisation directly and send a registration certificate to your Social and Economic Committee (CSE).
• Toll charges, but only at ticketed toll booths.

❌ Holiday Benefits cannot be used to pay for:

• Food and drink.
• Purchases from general cultural retailers, such as Fnac or Amazon Culture.
• Purchases from general sports retailers, such as Decathlon or Intersport.
• Sports events or long-term sports memberships, such as sports clubs or year-long extracurricular activities.
• Top-ups or subscriptions for electronic toll badges.

1. Step 1: From your Swile account, open your Holiday Benefits account.

3. Step 3: Choose Spend online, then select the available spending method: Gift voucher or Swile Card.
4. Step 4: Check the terms of use for the gift voucher, as these vary from one retailer to another.

You can top up the payment with other eligible Swile accounts, such as a gift card account or a Culture account. The available amount is automatically deducted and the payment is made in one go.

If you’re paying by Swile Card, just tell the shop you’d like to pay by card. You don’t need to mention it’s your Swile Card or ask if they accept Holiday Benefits.

The payment works just like a standard card payment, using the Visa and Mastercard networks.
