Now that the Euro rate is down from 0.75% to 0.50%, I wonder if any broker at all will continue with positive EUR/CHF swaps. If my broker stops offering interest rate payments on my longs, I will definitely close them.

Which is your broker that offers you this now?

Euro to drop on NFP, may see 1.218-1.216 would load a LONG there.
Trade according to current market condition, not what you think would be.

Yeah, but very very small... 0.1 Eur /lot. The correct roll would be around 1.5 Eur/lot (for rate = 0.75 % ).

FX brokers don't have access to central bank refinancing rates. EUR/CHF Roll is always going to be worse than the net of the ECB and SNB anchor rates.

Probably , but an year ago some brokers had 2.22 EUR/lot (I think) , which was the full net difference between ECB and SNB rates.

I just hope FXCM won't change to negative roll now. I've just opened an account with them a month ago.

FXCM charged negative swap for 2 days in past 5 months ago as I remember, but had been positive swap for long time now. Maybe they went out of cash, found no other way than rob EC Long Traders

The numbers quoted here for EUR/CHF positions with Oanda are incorrect.

A long EUR/CHF position incurs negative roll (and the rates have not yet been changed since the ECB's decision last week).
