I noticed today that there are changes in the offered credit card services in DK:
https://saseurobonusmastercard.dk/ko...rcard-premium/
What I noticed:
* Point earnings on the old MC are increased to 10/15/20 points per 100kr spent in domestic purchase/international purchase/SK ticket purchase. This is good give that AFAIR recently DC went down to 10 points per purchase on all purchases
* Exchange commission is being increased to 2% on all currencies (also European, where it was 1.5% so far). This applies both to the regular and the premium card. The change for regular cards is starting September. The SK DC card for comparison had 2% commission for a long time now.
* Point earnings on the MC premium are 15/20/25 respectively per 100kr spent
* If you earn sufficiently much you get a free travel class upgrade for all your bonus travels, includes your companion (but seems to apply only to usual bonus tickets, which I am not using; and I almost never choose to buy my awards on SK anyways)
* You get 1000 basic points (no extra points) for each month of using the premium card. This is interesting, as it effectively lowers your requalification treshold by 12000.
* The card costs 750kr for EBD, and 1500 for others (AFAIR)
Personally, I find increased point earnings + the lower re-qualification bonus worth considering. I estimated that they are roughly worth the 750kr. Others will find the half-point-price for business awards interesting. These could potentially be worth much more if you are using these.
I was considering ditching my SK DC for months now. The only good thing with it is the odd access to a diners lounge when flying on other airlines. I use it about 5 times a year, but could probably reduce to 3 if I was trying to be reasonable about it (avoid visits below 10 minutes...). The increased earning on the MC Premium essentially convinces me that there is no reason to keep the DC card. One piece of plastic less in the wallet from today.
