Testing EBD privileges
1) Has anybody tested soft-landing? I am seriously considering soft-landing to EBG next year, but would prefer to know that it works?
2) Has anybody gave the gold card to the same person again? Does it work?

Softlanding works. At least in terms of staying Gold. They just have not figured out to give my points an expiry date. They are still without expiry date.
Now mainly a JL and OW flyer

I also don't recall it written anywhere. It would be nice to have it documented. I am afraid that in a year I may be left in the cold.
Thank you CPH-FLyer and FlyingMoose. Now it's time to think whether I want to extend another year.

It is not written anywhere from SK. The only things I could find where the articles from businessclass.se and bonusfeber.dk but hardly anything you can hold SK to. It is just interviews. I was quite curious to see what actually happened when I changed qualifying year.

I am trying to give a gold card to the same person again and the system says that I cannot give a gold card to someone who already has a gold status.

Did theirs expire? Did they requalify gold through the regular process? I've given mine to the same person twice.
My wife gave her silver card to someone who then qualified silver due to points and she couldn't give it to that person again for obvious reasons. Instead gave it to someone else. Not an uncommon scenario as I'm assuming the gold/silver cards are handed out to people that actually fly.

It seems that his qualification period was Jul 1 to Jun 30. but now the person in question is in the "extra 3 months" period until Sep 30. I wanted to give the card now, because my qualification period passes sooner than Sep 30. So it seems impossible to give a card to a person every 12 months, because they get it for 15 months or even more.

Only useful and to be used when you have a diamond card, of course.
