Not too many choices
- with SK EB Diners you get access to Diners lounges (and also a MC) - but the talk over at the EB forum is, that free access is history for SE/DK members, so who knows how long it will stay in Finland. So far both AY and DC websites market strongly the free lounge access.
- AY DC - more points, but it's a black art of comparing the value of SK points to AY points
- AY Visa (Gold) - with Gold you get 10k points every year, but costs 90€ more than plain vanilla
- AX - so far I've been happy with them, though over the years (decades) it got weaker and weaker. First the AY co-branded card went, then the Hilton co-branded, now we're stuck with MR - which is not too rewarding but offers flexibility for redemptions
At the moment AX Gold is my main card, AY Visa is for where AX is not good and AY DC for the sign-up bonus and the occasional lounge access. But as I am losing all status with AY soon but am about getting SK Gold, I may as well switch over to the SK co-branded ones soon
