Just following up as I said I would on retro-claiming now that I am allowed (eight days have technically passed).

Air Europa (UX): managed to credit. shows up a day earlier than the actual date of the flight, but since I have my boarding pass and all relevant documentation, no problems proving I took the flight if they want the paper trail.

Tarom (RO)**: couldn't get this to register - not even using the script solution. I noticed something else. The ticket number on my reservation is different than the ticket number on my boarding pass. I tried using both to no avail. That's going to be one for SAS to solve manually. Something is definitely up with Tarom.

**Note: Because I flew RO as an EuroBonus award flight from CDG-OTP, this OTP-MAD flight I want to retro claim doesn't matter for the purposes of the challenge. However, points are points. I couldn't get the points to register.


Anyway, with all six of my commercial flights now formally registered as receiving EB points (I know that I was very lucky with the auto-crediting), and the remaining nine flights that were booked (and flown) using EB points, I guess it is to just sit and wait for the congrats email. Still not expecting an email before the end of the month, but maybe they will surprise me and inform me already next week.

ETA: Just had my Air Europa flight get credited a second time with the correct date about eight (8) hours later. Now I owe SAS a couple of hundred level and bonus points. They're welcome to take the ones from the erroneous date back and leave the one for the correct date. 🙃
