Those of us here in Sweden need to put our heads together to come up with a list of strategies to make the most of the card offers currently available. It seems to me that this would include the following:

- Use any of the new SAS EB AMEX cards for purchases from sas.se
- AMEX Elite if you anticipate needing the 20k base points to reach EBG or EBD.
- AMEX Elite if you want 2 shots at the *A 2-for-1 voucher deal and can rack up SEK300k in spending.
- AMEX Premium if you have no problem reaching EBG but can rack up SEK150k in spending and want the *A 2-for-1 voucher deal.

- COOP MedMera Mer for purchases at COOP and PG/BG payments using Betalo
- COOP MerMera Mer for other purchases leading up to a COOP point doubling bonus

I'm sure that there are additional strategic factors to consider, so please feel free to add your thoughts here. Of course, by the time we come to a consensus somebody will change some rules, making it necessary to rethink things, but all in all I see this is a positive development.
