Free Shareholder Swag in CH

Thank you both for your answers. I think I will stay away for the moment. But maybe it becomes interesting for a family with kids.

It will never be.
For the same reason a flight to Greece costs 150chf on low season and 400 on high. Your family is not the only one that wants that apartment/bungalow.

Thank you for your answer. I am not sure I understand what you were saying.
The point is not that hapimag or other offers are more expensive in high season. I totally get that, this is simple demand / offer mechanics.

What I want to make sure is if such a closed community of stockholders may have better prices than platforms like ebookers, airbnb etc?
Now would be an interesting time to check that. After 2 years of covid everyone wants to go abroad on holidays, i.e. very high demand this summer.
At hapimag, since only stockholders can book, the demand should not be higher than before covid.
But my problem is still the same, due to the very intransparent booking regulations (points, local costs per day, local costs per vacation, annual costs), they do not make it easy to compare with other offers.

It’s always the same. Google “timesharing apartments”.
It doesn’t matter if the are fewer members. There are also fewer apartments available.
It’s just a number thing, especially if you add the constraint of moving families.

did you receive the calida pyjama for this year yet?

Yes, usually in spring around March/April. You get the letter and the “order” what you want and in which sizes.

Also more hapimag stock holders will want to go abroad this year than three years ago. It is just as @ma0 says, a number thing

yep, for me also as @OogieBoogie said.
when did you buy the shares, more importantly when did you register them / aktien eintragen in your name?

I got the order form from calida where i could choose type of pyjama, size etc. and i think i mailed it back in time. I was just wondering if you guys actually received the pyjama yet, or maybe calida didn’t send them out yet

Yeap got it early April actually, quite fast.

It seems like the shares from Raiffeisen Schweiz also provides some benefits, like free account and free museums and others. I am not sure how this works. Who determines the price of the share if it is not listed on the exchange? Will the price change? Can I sell it anytime I want to? I did a quick search in the forum and found one, Risk with Raiffeisen shares (parts-sociales)?, talking about the nature of this share is a cooperate bond, which confuses me further. But I still reply here because the purpose is to buy the minimal amount (1 share I assume) to be eligible for the benefits and discuss if it is worth it.

Interesting. Yours seems to be indeed like a bond, what you get now is a share with a fixed price, but the yield is variable and based on specific bank’s profit. I saw rather 1.5-2% mentioned.

Anyone bought this at SQ and can confirm that there is nothing else to be done to get chocolate gift box? :slight_smile: I also wonder when the box is sent (eg. beginning of each calendar year?) and which day they consider to generate the list of owners.

You need to vote. If you haven’t voted this year, you need to wait for the next year.

AFAIK the LISP (the share for around 11k) only gets you a “small chocolate box”, so don’t get your expectations (too much) up. LISN (currently 110k) gets you the box often depicted in photos.

The box is usually given at the GV (and most likely is sent subsequently i.e. after the GV for those not attending) - so around April/May.

They usually consider a day around a month before the GV as cut-off date for their Shareholder list, as they then send out the GV invites.

Not personally invested in LISN or LISP, but extrapolating from experience with other Swiss swag programs.

Have you registered the shares in your name?
Otherwise they don’t know where to send the “dividend”.

FYI - I haven’t yet bought neither LISP nor LISN. I was thinking that maybe at some point I would buy LISP and wanted to understand if/when/which box I would get in that case. Can someone else confirm that LISP gives you smaller box? I remember I read somewhere that LISN gives you 20 kg one :slight_smile:

I would recommend to invest the 8k / 110k in VT and when the dividend is distributed visit the Lindt Outlet stores in Kilchberg or Olten
