I recently switched to the SAS hotels from Scandic since they left the HHonors program.

Not in one of my stays have I experienced my EBG status giving me any benefits. For the record I've stayed in Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm at SAS Radisson hotels so far this year.

I think they also have some GoldPoint program... wonder if that is the same as TGIFriday's had in the US, I am a point millionaire with that program - and now TGIFriday's just discontinued it earlier this year / bummer.
