AMEX in Finland - general discussion

Since several countries now have dedicated threads for AMEX cards (Centurion, Platinum, Gold etc.) issued in those markets and how AMEX can be utilised in those markets in terms of card benefits (e.g. fast track security or lounges) and acceptance by vendors, I decided to start a dedicated thread for Finnish AMEX cards, since we're missing a thread for this market.

Let's start the thread with the very latest AMEX news: starting from 1 January 2021 Platinum cardholders will only earn 1 MR point per 1 € spent. Currently it's 1,5 MR points, so obviously we're going in a bad direction with this change. As a new perk, one can earn 40 000 bonus MR points for spending 40 000 € within a 12 month period, which is between 1 November and 31 October of the following year. I assume that's to even out a little bit the change they're making, but still not exactly trigger happy about this.
