You cannot use your Swile card directly to spend your gift vouchers at retailers selling food products (Supermarkets; Amazon, Cdiscount, etc.) or fuel*.
Gift vouchers are credited by your Works Council (CSE) or an equivalent body. In this article, we explain how and where you can spend them, depending on the type of gift vouchers you have received.
đ How can you spend your gift vouchers?
Go to your Swile account. For more information, see: How do I buy a gift card?
You can spend your gift vouchers:
- Directly in-store by using your Swile card as a payment method. If your purchase amount is higher than your available Swile balance, youâll need to pay in two transactions (one with your Swile card and the remainder with another payment method). You can find all eligible retailers from your Swile account, on your gift voucher page (section Where to spend with my Swile card, See brands).
- Online. Choose to pay by card and enter your Swile card details. The total of your basket must be less than or equal to your available gift voucher balance on your Swile account.
