Pandion Christmas gift :-)

December 24, the UPS guy was a real santa :-)

Not sure if this is the norm, but I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a gift from SAS - in the form of two very nice (thermal) Royal Copenhagen cups

please see attached picture - the enclosed card was also nice, but not able to read who had signed this

As even a lower "EBG-scum" I did not get anything at all - One needs to fly a lot more I guess ;-)

I think that the key is to buy more expensive tickets.

On the other hand, based on what I have seen in this forum, the benefits of EBP are not worth it anyway - at least for people in the Nordic countries, which SAS seems to take for granted.

More EBG-scum

and I received two concert tickets for the boys' choir's traditional Christmas concert in the local cathedral. SAS sponsors the choir; hence the tickets I presume.

It's actually quite amazing. They have a database full of loyal customers and the don't even use it for what would be the most obvious: Holiday and birthday greetings. I assume the person in charge of EuroBonus have been let go due to the current cuts in SAS. (They could at least employed a monkey.) An email would be more than enough.

I received a couple of tickets for a local concert a few months ago. Nothing for christmas. Not even an email.

A few years ago I received chocolates every christmas. Then it was cut back to just a greeting card. Now, for the past years I receive nothing, even though I fly more with SAS now than the "chocolate receiving period".

The way SAS treats its "premium" customers is simply appalling....

I fully agree with erwiol. As a Pandion I have received a lot of e-mails aimed at at non frequent flyers ("fly this and this and get silver status") but have NOT received a single e-mail aimed at the EBP level.
It puzzles me why...

Absolutely true. SK has become a pile of junk, especially if you compare with the competition. I woke up in 2006 and realised how rubbish SK are compared with the competition.

Scandis, especially Swedes, take SK for granted when travelling (unless they are on a charter or LCC.... which SK already is anyway)
