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

✅ Holiday Benefits can be used to pay for the following, when they are part of your holidays:

• Accommodation: hotels, campsites, caravan parks, holiday villages, motels, resorts, holiday cottages, guest houses, unique accommodation 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 cannot use Holiday Benefits to pay directly at metro barriers 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, only at ticket machines.

❌ Holiday Benefits cannot be used to pay for:

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

To pay for a holiday expense online with your Holiday Benefits, select card payment and enter your Swile card details.

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.

You cannot use the card relay feature. The purchase amount must be less than or equal to your Holiday Benefits balance.

To pay for a holiday expense in person with your Holiday Benefits, simply tell the retailer you want 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, via the Visa and Mastercard networks.

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.

You cannot use the card relay feature. If your holiday expense is more than your Holiday Benefits balance, ask the retailer to split the payment: part with your Swile card and the rest with your own payment method.

In the app, go to Menu > Where to spend. Filter by Holiday Benefits to see eligible retailers. Turn on your location to find places near you.
