So, im considering switching my SAS Eurobonus card out with another Miles program...

What really bums me out about SAS is their ridicolous low mileage accruals on low-class tickets (25% of actual miles flown)

I live in Denmark and usually fly from either CPH or Hamburg, and fly about~

10-12 trips Inside Europe
1-2 trips to the US
0-1 Trips to Japan

I usually fly on an economy ticket, and sometimes upgrades via Optiontown for the exstra miles (and comfort :P).

I would preffer a Star Alliance program (since the connections to and from CPH and HAM are primarily SK and LH), and have considered

Lufthansa - they just seem to have very high Mileage requirements for their status Levels, but thei program seems very good.

United - Dont know much about it, but they seem to have a good amount of benefits + from American friends i keep hearing good things, and their 25.000 and 50.000 tier thresholds seems good (added to the 25% point bonus at Premier and 100% at PE - (ps. do theese count as EQM's?))

The good thing about SAS is that they only require 20.000 miles for silver (which then gives 15% bonus) and then 55.000 for Gold (and a 25% bonus) - but with their 25% mile accruals thats kind of negated.

So does anyone have any suggestions? should i switch to one of the two? a complete third? or should i just stick with SAS and live with the low accrual?



Thanks in advance
