A big part thanks to you, and all the tips I've found here, I've made Platinum first time. 
(needed to exchange some points, but at the end I felt that it was worth it)
As in a month I have some flights coming up with LH and SK (booked by the organisers of a meeting I have to go in DUB, without asking me which flight's I'd like to have
) I was wondering if any of you would know of an ongoing status match by any of the *A members. Currently have no status whatsoever with any of them.

Congratulations on the promotion!
And of course the universe immediately replied with a few *A tickets just to steal your thunder!

O6 and TK will give you status without much fuss. Question is why you would want to match. SK will sell you the plus cabin for 30€, LH for 99€/segment.

O6 doesn't match no more and TK only does a challenge requiring one TK INTL segment for 1 year of Elite membership and 15K miles for two years.

Yes! We talked about this little on the UX thread already. I really find it interesting to see which PNR they're referring to. Mine was referring to a March 2016 PNR, that was somehow still active? Did Finnair's website somehow manage to reactivate the PNR?

Really weird 
PNR for HEL-ORD 1-sep popped up suddenly. And another from last week. Both can't be opened. It's just saying: "Järjestelmävirhe. Yritä uudelleen. (4616 - 1931)"
And the weirdest is the last reservation on my PNR -list. It is showing only the PNR and my name. No date, no destination
Can't find any past/future reservation with that PNR?

Those are probably old PNRs that had a so called retention segment in them. Retention segments are used by agents and TAs to prevent the PNR being archived after the trip is completed. They stay alive for about 330-361 days and usually don't show on your bookings. Such trick is used to maintain notes in the PNR if you claim something from the airline for refund, need the PNR to do your expenses etc.

not very höpö, but no thread for this:
tracking down on good/bad service from Plat line. xxxxx was a pleasant voice that just helped me without getting grumpy or rule-picky.
Just tracking down names for HUACA cases...

Now we need to listen what voice sounds "pleasant" and talk to them. Otherwise HUACA.
