The “Banking package rewards” category is only available to surprize participants who have an active package solution with a participating bank. These customers can exchange the surprize points they have earned for a credit paid into the personal account associated with the respective package solution.

The rewards are only visible if the following criteria are met:

• You are a surprize participant and have an active package solution with a participating bank
• You have not yet reached the limit on reward redemptions for the current calendar year
• In your surprize account, you have selected the eligible card associated with your package solution (this applies to holders of multiple cards attached to the same account)

If you are a surprize participant who has an active package solution with a participating bank, you can exchange the surprize points you have earned for a credit paid into your personal account. You can choose to exchange 9 000 surprize points for CHF 20 or 18 000 surprize points for CHF 40. Please note that only one of these rewards can be purchased at a time.

To benefit from a package reward, visit one-digitalservice.ch or open the “one” app and log in. In the rewards shop, go to the surprize tab where you can view the details of the package reward directly and provide binding confirmation of the purchase of your chosen reward by clicking on the “Order” button. To see the rewards and be able to purchase them, you must have an active package solution with a participating bank, have a sufficient number of points and have not yet reached the limit on the number of account credits for the current calendar year. After you have concluded the purchase, you will receive confirmation by e-mail.

You can choose between the following two rewards: CHF 20.– for 9 000 points and CHF 40.– for 18 000 points. Both rewards can be redeemed a maximum of twice in any 12-month period. This means that within 12 months you can exchange a maximum of 54 000 points for CHF 120.–. Once you have purchased one of the rewards twice, it will no longer be available.

Immediately after your purchase, the surprize points are deducted and your points total is updated.

The reward is paid into the personal account associated with your bank’s package solution at the beginning of the next month. In your account statement, the credit is designated as “Credit surprize reward – bank name packages”.
