I did try to look at GA J fares during my millionaire run, but even with 2-300% earning rates, I didn't find any prices that could compare to e.g. cheap plus fares looking at the level points earned. Although it might indeed have been both faster and more comfortable. And with SAS practice of changing the earning rates with no notice, there is always the risk of getting less points, until the flight has been flown.
That's the difference, VS is written correctly, 100+100. What we would expect. But do you really think that GA F is supposed to earn 400% of the flown miles. It would be pretty amazing, but I seriously doubt it. And to be honest, I am even more doubtful that any business class fare is supposed to earn 300%.

Now I don't dispute that's what they write, I just doubt that's what they wanted to write and that you'd get it without a fight.

Being located in Tokyo, it would be super ideal for qualifications. But yes the risk of them overnight correcting it. And I don't plan to do anything specific to qualify.
