Also received the card yesterday. I'm just in the process of transferring all my accounts from UBS to PostFinance, and am very happy to be doing so.

I wish every swiss-german could have subtitles in front of them everytime they speak

	that's the law. You can claim them back by filing a tax form.

It's a gift. can't be taxed.

Gifts can be taxed.
A couple of friends married in Italy and brought with them all their wedding gifts. The customs officer did not show any understanding that it was wedding gifts; they had to pay VAT on it.

I was wondering why they would go to the trouble to send you card only to tell you they would credit CHF 2 to your account. A waste of postage....

I didn't realize that it was in fact CHF 20. Hmmm not used to counting in Rappen :-)

Yes it is a problem when you only have 10 fingers to count on

	Received today a nice card from Postfinance. To thank the loyal customer and to share the success of 2010 business they will credit the E-deposito/deposito accounts with 2010 centimes (i.e 20CHF10) in March. That's nice marketing! Makes them so different from the "bonus" banks.

Hi!
I also had the gift. And it nicely attracted my attention.
Unfortunately, I now realized that it attracted my attention away from the fact that they lowered the interest rate in 1st January 2011...:

http://www.postfinance.ch/en/about/m...ess101203.html
PostFinance is lowering the interest rate on e-Deposito accounts in Swiss francs by 0.25% as of 1 January 2011. As of this date it will pay 1% on electronically managed Deposito accounts for private customers and 0.75% for business customer accounts....

So they "give" 20chf but "take" 0.25%...

EDIT:
Maybe they informed customer before (by PDF on your account), I probably missed it
