Current and historical promotions
This is a thread for reporting details of promotions in the Finnair+ program.
The purpose of the wiki is to keep a repository of current and historical promotions. This works best if all details are given in a post of the thread. Once such a post is made, edit the wiki and add a short description of promo in headline-style, with a link to the post that holds the detailed information. (You can create such a link by right-clicking the post-number and copy link location).
Do not link to the promo itself from the Wiki, as the promo page is likely to disappear once the promo ended and such link will die, leaving the wiki sans historical info.
Feel free to discuss alterations to the format in the thread below.
Do not delete historical posts.

Only now I noted they are having triple points offer for NEW dinersclub cards. Not too bad if you are Plat and not yet have the card.
I went for the Amex Gold again as I will get 10k and a fellow-FTer will get referral 10k.

They did not post for me. So it seems that the offer is limited to travel booked, not just flown, during the promo :-(
Well, not such a huge deal for me as I have no L/H in the near future.

Here are the T&C, no word about booking period
Code:
Registration period: 1 October–30 November 2015. You must register before your flight. Travel period: 1 October–30 November 2015. All routes operated by Finnair or Nordic Regional Airlines and marketed by Finnair are eligible for double Finnair Plus points. The following booking classes are eligible for double Finnair Plus points: J, C, D, I, Y, B, H, K, M, P, T, V, L, N, S, Q, O, Z, R. Only registered Finnair Plus members are eligible for double points. You must be a Finnair Plus member in order to earn extra Finnair Plus points during the campaign. No-show or cancellation of booking does not qualify for double Finnair Plus points. Extra Finnair Plus points are award points and do not affect your tier point balance. The promotion does not qualify for extra Finnair Plus tier bonus points. Finnair Plus terms and conditions apply. Finnair reserves the right to make changes at any time.

Oh damn.. I just got the Diners last month. I specially asked if there's any promos coming up and the answer was no. Any experience in getting these perks retroactively by asking, as a very fresh member?

"The following booking classes are eligible for double Finnair Plus points: J, C, D, I, Y, B, H, K, M, P, T, V, L, N, S, Q, O, Z, R."
I hope that this promo applies to F class tickets, even though that is not mentioned in the listing....
Second thing; other OW carries have published Atlantic promo but not Finnair?

On the promo side, I am quite happy with AY's modest stand to promos which inevitably always imply devaluations. I am old-fashioned...

F - isn't that the upgrade bucket? So the points will be accordingly to the original fare-class and so should the promo points as well.
