Would plat and about a dozen of confirmed future bookings have anything to do with it?
Probably. I'm silver and waited a month for their reply and suggestion of the €50 gift card. Now waiting for their reply to my refusal.
Btw, those of you who know EC261 really well. If I accept the gift card, can I still go to Kuluttajariitalautakunta and try to get €250 or at least €200? Article 12 would hint in this direction, but I'm not 100 % sure about it.
