It actually easy in two of them. DK is just a bad country for credit card companies, like Germany. As long as they allow merchants to charge (at least parts of) the merchant fees to the customer, like they do in DK, credit cards acceptance will stay low and there is just no incentive for VISA/MASTER, Diners or AMEX to do much in that market.
And I do agree that the amount of points they gave out in the past was too generous but since the last gutting of the program the miles earned across the board including the Star Alliance partners is bad.
