However, recent political events (I do not like to support autocratic governments) and TK's treatment of their staff has made me think twice. As a Swede, there is also the excellent co-branded Amex cards and the 2-1 voucher to take into consideration. All this, and the possibility of maybe making EBD, made me change programmes. I am doing this in my "off-year" while I have already renewed Elite Plus so the decision may not be definite. Thanks to the new automated gates in CPH/ARN, it is a breeze to have my EBS on the ticket and then just swipe the TK*G card to enter the lounge...
