I was just informed by Aegean that SAS has denied my retro-claim for two SK flights flown in August, saying that "the ticket you had bought was in the Go Light category, and this category, Go Light and W fare, doesn't give any miles."
I'd certainly like to know since when this change has been in effect and why this was not communicated in advance.

AGP to ARN to FRA £70.70 2,577 booked 30th August flown 9th September
FRA to OSL to EDI £104.94 1,200 booked 5th September flown 11th September
AGP to ARN to NCE £69.68 3,010 booked 18th September flown 26th September
It's around 1st October that the notes were added to the SAS earnings matrix. Maybe around then there was some sort of change. But not for me during September anyway.

Nervously waiting....
Just come home flying SAS on T fare (GO SMART not GO LIGHT). Saw outbound flight credited but still waiting for the inbound/return flight credit... Needed for requalification...
Looking up credit time and ended up here... Hope it will be automatically posted to account in next few days w/o manual process...

Well as long as they keep their grubby hands off the 200% on SAS+ fares.
I've got WAW-CPH-MAN booked to get back to Brexitannia for Christmas and that's what I'm expecting to requalify for *G on.

The mileage earning is supposed to be an incentive to book SAS+ so somehow I doubt they'll reduce it.

Did you buy C or did you upgrade from Y? Since I did upgrade in Aug (PRG-ARN-AGP-ARN-PRG), flew in Aug and didn't receive any miles till now! I communicate this via twitter but also wrapped whole communication and created new incident. I am really upset to still not have miles in my account.

I was originally going to go to Athens again on a fare someone has mentioned (one way flights from £85, the return was very expensive) but then I saw AGP return was cheaper. So it's not too bad at nearly 3.5p something per tier mile
I combined this with my 3-4th required BA sectors and double Avios promo currently running

Here we are folk, the fun is about to end.
T and O in light can not be earned anymore.

I understand the logic behind the devaluation, but there is almost nothing that I can do now as they Gold period ends on Nov 4th. Frustrating!

Just to confirm - domestic sector OSL-TRD ticketed in O class flown on Saturday just credited to my account. 600 miles. Note that this was a fare WITH baggage, and not a Go Light fare. Happy to see that the system CAN differentiate between a GO SMART and a GO LIGHT fare, even though they are both ticketed in O class.

Looks to be the only option, but I am curious how that will work as it is a Youth Light fare. I called SAS yesterday and asked about upgrading to a new booking class but was told that this was not possible on a youth fare. Guess I need to roll the dice with Plusgrade and see if they get lucky.
