SWISS, in conjunction with Swarovski is running a great promotion for Mother’s Day that rewards everyone involved!
For starters, shop for you Mother in any of Switzerland’s Swarovski Boutiques between now and 11 May and when you spend CHF99 you will earn 2000 miles for your Miles & More account. This is much better than the standard Swarovski/Miles & More promotion that awards 1 mile per Swiss Franc spent in a Swarovski Boutique. Just make certain that you provide Swarovski with your Miles & More number at the time you complete your purchase.
And it gets better:
In addition to the miles that you will earn for your account, you also have the opportunity to enter to win 1 of 2 Grand Prizes of 60,000 award miles, which is enough for 1 economy ticket between Europe and the USA or 2 tickets within Europe or can be applied towards tickets that require additional miles (Business / First Class etc).
For this promotion, no purchase is actually necessary. If you will not be shopping in a Swarovski Boutique, you can still enter the contest by sending an email containing your name and Miles & More number to miles.more@swarovski.com
