I fly from Paris and credit on EB but I checked, you have quite the same fares from at least ARN or GOT (didn't check for other cities).
xxx-MUC/FRA-xxx return in P class (business saver) scores 3K points (750 per segment).
For example I chosed random dates (14 to 16th june), departing from ARN :
London : 4 503 SEK
Malaga : 4400 SEK
Istanbul : 4600 SEK
Rome : 4200 SEK
Milan : 4400 SEK
Be careful about combined LH/LX flights : LH scores 750 per segment and if my memory is good LX 600.
Btw for the future look at their long haul biz and first. I booked a first for 3600€ from CDG to HKG (booked 3 months in advance) and it scored 40K on EB ! Very cost-effective
.
I never earned this way, but this sounds expensive to me. Get a direct flight from ARN to any place in Europe (except for selected places in Baltics). It should be possible to find a deal for about 2000 DKK return in plus. Each segment pays 1875 for EBD (and I think the same for gold), or 1500 if you are silver.
