Questions About Your Gold Credit Card

Quick answers about delivery, activation, Priority Pass, insurance and mobile payment.

Delivery usually takes about 6 working days. If you chose a system PIN, it arrives by post about 2 working days before your card. With a custom PIN, no PIN letter is sent: you receive an information letter with your card and set your PIN once on the Raiffeisen CardService website.

Make your first purchase with PIN entry at a shop terminal, with your card inserted into the terminal. This activates the card and protects it against misuse. Online payments are only possible after activation. If you chose a custom PIN, make your first transaction at an ATM; this first withdrawal is free of charge.

Log in to My Portal and activate your Priority Pass membership, which takes less than 3 minutes. A welcome email from Priority Pass follows within 24 to 48 hours. Follow it to install the Priority Pass app and add your membership. At the lounge, show the pass in the app together with your Raiffeisen credit card.

Your Priority Pass membership is free of charge for holders of a Raiffeisen Gold or Platinum credit card. Each lounge visit is charged per person, for you and any guests, and billed automatically via your monthly credit card statement. Special conditions for children vary by lounge. You find the current price on the Priority Pass page.

The travel insurance of your Gold credit card covers you as the cardholder when you travel privately. Accident and medical costs abroad are insured for you alone, not for your family. Shopping protection and robbery insurance are not part of the Gold card. All benefits and conditions are listed in the insurance folder and the insurance terms.

Report a claim under your credit card insurance with the online claim form of Raiffeisen Versicherung, which is linked on the Raiffeisen CardService website. Before your trip, check the scope of your benefits in the insurance folder and the insurance terms of your Gold credit card, so you know what is covered in case of a claim.

Yes. You can add your Gold credit card to Apple Pay with the Mein ELBA app, store it in Google Wallet for Google Pay, or use RaiPay on Android. Garmin Pay, SwatchPAY and LAKS PAY let you pay with a smartwatch or other wearables. Your agreed card limit also applies to all mobile payments.

No. Your Raiffeisen credit card works worldwide and does not need to be unlocked for stays abroad. Before your trip, simply make sure that your card is activated and not expired and that your limit is sufficient for your plans. If you have any questions, your Raiffeisen advisor is happy to help.
