Basically for 90 000 points that you have to earn you can upgrade 18 segments to PLUS -- so these segments you don't have to pay for a PLUS fare directly.
Please bare in mind that you have status. OP doesn't. Until OP reaches gold, it means e.g. you earn 25% more points on your flight and you have a higher chance of acceptance of your plus upgrade bid. Even as EBD I've had declined upgrade bids. Some because the flight was sold out completely, others I receive a courtesy upgrade or gate upgrade, but here you don't earn any additional points.
Last but not least 50.000 DKK is around 70.000 SEK.
