About contacting SAS, it took us 5-6 weeks to get our EU comp from a flight cancellation back in mid-Feb. We had some discussion over the amount, for which the email response time was 4-5 days. Given the circumstances, you need to realize that they are absolutely swamped with refunds/vouchers and it takes time to work through this. The big corona virus cancellation wave hit after our claims, so you are likely looking at 8 weeks.
With that being said, we had a charge back on a Air India flight that took Mastercard 4+ months to sort out....and that was from November 2019. I don't think that you have an option to get this handled quickly unless your credit card is willing to move quickly. In the end we got our compensation from both SAS and Mastercard/Air India, so the system will eventually catch up. I sincerely hope the compensation isn't an urgent matter for you.
