So reasonable to reach status.

Earnings look comparitive with other programmes and better in many cases with most Z/C fares earning 2x inc Lufty.

On redemptions seems that you can do one way, no YQ on SAS and burn rates also look consistant with others.

Also option to do cash and miles but not really understanding how this works at moment.

They are in the Star Upgrade for miles scheme and also have on the day upgrades on SAS for reasonable amount of miles.

Also comprehensive partners on Hotels and Car Hire.

And for credit card you can convert Amex rewards on 1 to 1.


All in all for me it looks one of the better of the bunch!
EuroBonus has very restrictive points earning chart in my opinion. Unless you fly a lot of First, Business or higher fares Economy class, the miles are heavily discounted. Also, the points are only valid for 5 years.
