Letter from SAS and a new card
Today I got my new card for the next period and a letter with it:
Its our pleasure to inform you that your Silver status as a EuroBonus member is being renewed. Please find enclosed your new Silver membership card. Your card is valid until you accumulate enough Basic points to be upgraded to Gold membership.
Ok, luckily there was a Gold card with it and I am EBG already third year. Also first time there is Estonian Air logo on it. Probably, that means SK will buy rest of the shares from OV soon.
What do you think. Should I inform Estonian EB member service about their mistake?

Although there is a good chance for that happening is it wrong to draw this conclusion based on this. For instance are Lot, Adria og Croatia Airlines member of Lufthansa's Miles&More without LH owning anyobe of them

Click on Tavaklient and Hõbeklient to see EBB and EBS designs.
My EBG renews this month, so I'll see if they make a mistake in the text in my letter also.

Maybe this will help when I fly OV from places with few EBGs. In July I flew MXP-TLL and I got bumped to 2 different lounges and only after a few phone calls did they realize that I was allowed in as an EBG flying OV (since OV is not in *A).

Just got my EBG card with airBaltic logo on the top right side. Let's see whether it helps in places like MUC and DUS where BT is not really known and recent experience shows no lounge access to SK*G.
There's something new on the other side -- Sixt CD code.

Well, LH Miles and More doesn't own them but LOT Airlines is a fully integrated M&M partner like Austrian Airlines or Swiss. So I guess LOT members have a LOT logo on their card like Swiss members have a LX logo on their card instead of the LH one.

So they printed it to the wrong paper - they have these ready printed papers where they just print the number and bar codes and glue the card in. Someone chose a wrong paper and didn't notice the error.

Doesnt matter if the card shows gold or not, if you are EBS in the system you will not get the perks since the system checks towards the EuroBonus databse at airports and lounges e.t.c
But on Avis, Hertz and hotels It would probably work ^

Not true in non SAS lounges. At most lounges (except SAS lounges) they don't swipe the card, they just look at it and write down the numbers. That goes for UA, US, LH and NZ (the airlines I have flown recently)

Just saw a picture of the co-branded DC card. It looks nice as well:
