How can I pay an amount higher than my Avantages vacances balance?

It all depends on how you want to pay. Here are the three possible scenarios.

🛜 How do I pay online if my balance isn’t enough?

With your Swile card, the purchase amount must be less than or equal to your Holiday Benefits balance. Topping up by bank card isn’t available for Holiday Benefits. So make sure you have enough balance before confirming your purchase.

🏪 How do I pay in-store if my balance isn’t enough?

Ask the shop assistant to split the payment in two: one part on your Swile card, the other with your own payment method. Pay as you would with a regular bank card (Visa and Mastercard networks) — there’s no need to mention it’s your Swile card, or to ask if the shop accepts Holiday Benefits.

🛒 How do I pay on the Swile Shop if my balance isn’t enough?

Good news: on the Shop, you can combine several payment methods! For example, for a £33 voucher, if you have £13 in Holiday Benefits, just pay the remaining £20 by bank card.
