Buy points loophole!

I just realized something:

1000 EB-points costs 55 Euro if you buy them from EuroBonus.
But if you open an account with Operator One you get 1000 points if you charge it with only 20 Euro: http://www.flysas.com/en/EuroBonus/S...rs/OperatorOne
So if you need 1000 points, you actually get a 64% discount by buying call credit compared to just buying the points.

Same thing if you need 10 000 points. You can either buy them straight from EuroBonus for 450 Euro, or you can buy a 3-month language course for 432 Euro: http://www.flysas.com/en/EuroBonus/S...anguage-Direct
Ok, so in this case you only save 4%... but it's still cheaper, and hey, you get a language course included in the deal
