This article explains where and how you can spend your Holiday Benefits 🤩🏝️
🏝️ Where can you spend your Holiday Benefits?
✅ You can only spend your Holiday Benefits on holiday-related expenses, such as:
- Accommodation (hotels, campsites, caravan parks, holiday villages, motels, resorts, holiday cottages, guest houses, unique stays, seasonal rentals through estate agents, etc.)
- Transport (flights, train or coach tickets).
- Sports or leisure activities (skiing, surfing, climbing, skydiving, etc.)
- Artistic or cultural activities (museums, guided tours, visits to historical monuments, etc.)
- Concerts and shows
- Holiday camps and day camps (subject to proof of registration to be submitted to your Works Council).
- Toll charges (only at ticketed toll booths)
💡 If needed, you must be able to prove that these expenses were made as part of your holidays.
*For public transport, you must buy your tickets at ticket machines or station counters. Payment with the card directly at metro gates or on buses is not possible with Holiday Benefits.
❌ You cannot use your Holiday Benefits to pay for:
- Food and drink
- At general retailers selling cultural products (Fnac, Amazon Culture, etc.).
- At general retailers selling sports equipment (Decathlon, Intersport, etc.)
- Sports events
- Topping up or subscribing to your electronic toll badge
💸 How do you spend your Holiday Benefits?
Spend your Benefits in the shop with partners carefully selected by us (gift vouchers, zoos and aquariums, theme parks, seaside villas, and more 😏). To do this:
- Click on your Holiday account
- Click on Spend
- Choose the product you want and add it to your basket
- At checkout, select payment with your Holiday account.
If you spend your Holiday Benefits in the Shop, you can top up the payment with:
- ✅ Your bank card
- ✅ Subsidy
- ✅ Other eligible accounts (e.g. gift or culture vouchers). If you have other Swile accounts and they don’t appear at checkout, it means they’re not eligible for this purchase.
Use your Swile card directly to pay at our partner locations. You can find the list in the Where to spend section of your Swile app.
For online payments, select card payment and enter your Swile card details.
If you pay with your card:
- ✅ You can top up the payment with other eligible accounts (e.g. gift or culture vouchers)
- 🚫 You cannot top up the payment with CB relay.
- For online payments: The amount of your purchase must be less than or equal to your Holiday Benefits balance.
- For in-person payments: You can ask the merchant to split the payment (part on your Swile card, part with your own payment method).
🌟 Good to know
You have 2 years to spend your Holiday Benefits.
If you have several Swile accounts, we prioritise the order of payment based on the type of Benefits you have:
- If you have Christmas gift vouchers for employees: your Holiday Benefits will be used first, then Christmas gift vouchers (if you have any)
- If you have other vouchers (Culture, Children’s Christmas, Back to School): these will be used first, then your Holiday Benefits, and finally, your Adult Christmas vouchers.
