What should I do if I have a payment issue with my Holiday Benefits?

Your Holiday Benefits payment has failed? Here’s how to identify the cause and find a solution.

🔎 First checks

First of all, make sure the retailer where you want to pay actually accepts Holiday Benefits. If you’re unsure, check our article: Where and how can I spend my Holiday Benefits?

💳 Check your card and account settings

Go through the following points:

💡 My balance is sufficient but the payment still won’t go through

Holiday Benefits can only be used up to your available balance. Here’s what to do depending on your situation:

  • Online: the purchase amount must be less than or equal to your Holiday Benefits balance. If it isn’t, contact the retailer’s customer service to pay in two instalments (Swile card + regular bank card).
  • In store: ask the cashier to split the payment — part with your Swile card (make sure to mention it’s a bank card payment) and the rest with your own payment method.

🚫 Card relay is not available

It’s not possible to activate card relay to top up a Holiday Benefits payment. Find out more about card relay

If the problem continues even though your balance is sufficient, report it via the app:

  • In the Accounts tab, tap Holiday Benefits
  • Select the relevant transaction, then tap Report a problem

Our team will check and offer you a suitable solution.

🔄 Another Swile account was charged instead of my Holiday Benefits

No worries, we’ll sort it out. Here’s how to let us know:

  • In the Accounts tab, find the relevant transaction
  • Tap Report a problem

Our team will check eligibility and offer you a suitable solution.

🚇 I’m paying for public transport and the payment is declined

⛔ Payment at gates and on buses: not possible
