Am I the only one who has encountered delay in posting Finnair points earned by shopping at Stockmann? T&C states that points are added within 10 working days. However, I've needed to wait for my points to be posted for three or four weeks lately. I do grocery shopping at Stockmann weekly.

Okay, thanks for reporting back. Earlier the points were posted quickly, within a week or so. It's not very convenient now when it takes closer a month. (Have to always check DC invoice because at least I tend to forget what did I buy to my fridge a month ago.)

This is the second time this year, when points are not posting as they "should". There was a time period this Spring/early Summer, too, when it took weeks and felt a bit random.
As I do try to concentrate most of my shopping to Stockmann (especially grocery), I spend money there 3-4 times a week. But honestly, I never know if all my points from them are correctly posted or not. As they do it (normally) on a weekly bases, I would need to know, when the "week" for calculation starts, and if you actually get points after all purchases.
Learned it the "hard way", that purchasing services (as in e.g. movie tickets) does not earn AY+ points.

I get a fairly reliable 4-5 AY+ points a month buying that terribly addictive kiviarinaoliivileipä, but until they get a more reasonable range of produce in their smaller stores, I can't concentrate my purchases there

For us the Stocmann card definately makes sense and I'd say the parking benefit for Exc/Plat is a major draw. We come downtown maybe once or twice a week so it amounts to actual money. Especially now that you can't park EVs outside the gates for free.
Free warm parking AND charging at the same time is nothing to scoff at. I'd say that benefit alone is worth about 300-400e annually to us.
It also makes sense to Stockmann because we would be unlikely to shop there otherwise. Now they get our custom by default, since the prices downtown for whatever we usually buy (ie. not groceries) are pretty much the same everywhere.

And again... I have spent a couple hundred € in Stockmann during the last couple of weeks, but no points have posted since 22. November.

Not a big deal for me that neither mine few Stockmann points seem to post correctly, but I see my wife's account points increase while she is not flying. Looking closer into her account, I see lots of Stokka points pouring in!
Conclusion: points discrimination!
