The climate contribution is added to the basket total of the other items. However, it is not eligible for discounts. It is likewise not eligible for Cumulus points. This means that any price reductions in the form of promotions or discount coupons do not apply to the climate contribution, and the contribution is not included when calculating the minimum purchase value. The only exception is for the bonus coupon, which will continue to be issued for goods over CHF 100.00 (including climate contribution).
Example 1: Issue of bonus coupons: 2x bonus coupons are issued from a minimum purchase amount of CHF 100
The climate contribution is included when calculating the minimum purchase.
Sample figures: purchase amount CHF 99 and climate contribution CHF 1.10.
The customer voluntarily pays the climate contribution of CHF 1.10 and thus pays CHF 100.10, i.e. over CHF 100.
The customer receives the 2x bonus coupons!
Example 2: Redeeming a Cumulus benefit coupon against a minimum purchase of CHF 50
The climate contribution is not included when calculating the minimum purchase.
Sample figures: purchase amount CHF 49 and climate contribution CHF 1.10.
The customer pays the climate contribution of CHF 1.10 and thus pays CHF 50.10, i.e. over CHF 50. The Cumulus benefit coupon cannot be redeemed because the purchase amount of CHF 49 applies.
Example 3: 10% discount on the whole range
The climate contribution is not eligible for discount.
Sample figures: purchase amount CHF 99 and climate contribution CHF 1.10.
The 10% discount does not apply to the climate contribution, just to the purchase amount of CHF 99. Specifically this means:
CHF 99 – 10% (CHF 9.90) = CHF 89.10 + CHF 1.10 climate contribution. The customer pays a total of CHF 90.20.
