Precisely the kind of rule that prevents someone joining EuroBonus in order to snag a quick sign-up bonus and then cash it in. It is a loyalty programme, after all.

Not that I can think of, for a US resident. There have been some 2x or 3x points promotions in recent years, but always in the dead of winter when SAS wants to stimulate traffic.
A roundtrip EWR-CPH in SAS Plus Business Pro earns 9,000 points each way. So you could pay to take three roundtrips in Business and then earn enough points to place a bid of 44,000 points to upgrade one leg of your redemption flight
