Finnair promo to increase awareness of the AY+ partners.
Promo was originally reported in the new promotions thread, but triggered major discussion and found a new home here.
The "New promotions" thread works best for reporting details of promotions and serves as a repository of current and historical promos.
Part of the AY+ vendors award points for purchases made from the vendor, others allow points redemption of awards (such as restaurant vouchers) only.
Vendors from which points can be received through purchases:
-Belizia (Samsonite suitcases, etc.)
-Decanter (Kitchen supplies)
-Moomin Shop (All kinds of Moomin materials)
-RTV-yhtymä (Hardware store)
-SSP Finland (Restaurants at Helsinki airport, minimum 15 € purchase)
-Tax Free Plus
-Timanttiset
-Finnair Plus Shop (Home deliveries only, beware of 6 € delivery fee)
-Lentoparkki (Airport parking)
-Suomen Urheiluopisto (Vierumäki)
-Joutsen stores (Dove coats, etc. but apparently cheapest item is 12 € dove shampoo)
-Various hotel chains
-Various car rental companies
Relatively effective points redemptions:
-Lippu.fi, 250 points minimum spend
-Finnkino, 400 points minimum spend
Credit cards etc., points awarded for card usage
-AY Co Branded cards
-Stockmann loyalty card

I have been doing some investigation.
RTV seems to accrue 1 point per used euro so I think I will be buying a screw set or something. Decanter seems to offer cheap enough stuff and they also earn something per euro (was it 5 points per euro). On Finnkino ticket shop you can apparently choose the points you're going to use, so I guess using 1-10 points is alright? Tax-free Plus is easy to get on a non-EU flight.

Just make sure when you pay to tell them that they really register the AY number in the transaction and it will post

OT: would you HJP mind checking your KRIL case in the EU261 thread for update in WIKI? I did not find information how your case ended.

Royal Ravintolat gift card (best value in AY+ shop with 1000p), basically -40% for your meals without restrictions.. if you want to take only liquid salad it also works in Löyly for the summer

I think these will be my first five partners:
AY DC
Stockmann (Groceries)
Royal Ravintolat (€100 voucher = for €56.xx + 1000p)
Lentoparkki (1 day parking at HEL for 9,30€ instead of going by train)
SOL suit laundry (€35.xx + 1000p = bad value, but I need this)

There's a small amount of figuring best value to the game ff_flyer posted, figuring best odds vs points cost - they give you x amount of 'tokens' after you pick three boxes/cards, you spend them on different raffles/prize draws. I went for all all 12000 points for 3 entries to a 1/1000 game for 2 shorthaul upgrades, seemed better value than smaller amounts of points than an upgrade costs...
