Plusgrade is no longer in use by SAS. They run their own bid process as of February 2nd 2022.

These are the new terms and conditions: https://www.flysas.com/travel/upgrad...rade-tc-en.pdf.

As a major change to the flow, successful bids no longer earn points from the upgraded booking class, but gets a fixed number of additional points depending on the regions of the flight:

Within and between Sweden, Denmark (incl The Faeroe Islands), Norway, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia

SAS Go to SAS Plus: 250 Basispoints

To, from, and within other European countries:

SAS Go to SAS Plus: 500 Basispoints

To and from Asia and the US:

SAS Go to SAS Plus: 1500 Basispoints
SAS Plus to SAS Business: 1500 Basispoints
SAS Go to SAS Business: 3000 Basispoints

To start building datapoints.

EBD - BRU-CPH; min bid 5000, bid and accepted at check-in open. You could adjust up until that time which is an improvement over old system.

New data point: Bid of 250 euro - OSL - FRA, declined 24hs before departure (with 9 (!) seats still available).

Curious if I can do a cash upgrade at the airport?

250 EUR for European short-haul was rejected? Seems very expensive??? I usually did not pay more than 500DKK - did not consider anything more expensive, worth the money... granted that OSL-FRA is a bit longer than I usually do, but not excessively so.

Not sure if a couple of cold cuts really qualify as a meal.

BRU-OSl, min bid NOK490 or 5000 points.

If EBD, that's 490 for a salad + 500 additional points. Hard pass when seat blocking already in place.

Yes the price looks familiar, but it used to be for a salad and almost 1800 points.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but does upgrading with EB points still exist?

And in advance: (its hidden in the *A upgrades)

Any idea of the minimum bid on EWR-OSL under the new regime, both to Plus and Business?

Does a successful bid reticket into a new fare class (and does it depend on if the bid is made with $ or points)? Asking with respect to PQP accrual on United.
