Exchange campaigns – cash instead of cards
You have a payment card and need more cash? Let’s swap! There are various ways to exchange credit from your payment card for cash:
Tandem shopping
You can accompany a person without a payment card to the supermarket and pay for their purchase with your payment card. The person without a payment card will then return the amount of their purchase to you in cash.
Voucher exchange
You can buy shopping vouchers in supermarkets using your payment card. These vouchers can then be exchanged for cash by people without a payment card.
This is how it works:
- Buy a €50 shopping voucher in a supermarket. Take the receipt with you.
- Take the voucher and the receipt to an exchange location. You will then receive the value of the voucher in cash.
