A lot of the US programs hand out way more miles/points in the aggregate for non-flight activity than for flight activity. I assume the SK program is not as heavily skewed in that way as the US program, but I would expect that there are a lot of points in the SK program accounts that are from non-flight activity.

One told me that he lives in a small apartment in Stockholm that he only pays 3000kr a year in electricity and I don't think they are big business owner so the income and their money movement doesn't match.
Is it card-churning or manufactured spend?
There are some SE-based EBs who seem to have been engaged in some manufactured spend. Things like buying lots of expensive goods for re-sale at a discount to the prevailing Swedish prices for some of those goods. If someone often sells goods at a slight loss or at purchase-price break-even when does Skatteverket make an issue of it?
