1 free visit for every 10K SEK spent. Valid only the year after earning them.
Sadly it seems access is personal - tied to the DC card. I would have found it useful if they were vouchers so one could guest people. Only useful for AY basics and those travelling outside of their lounge allowance due to AY tier.

Just called in and cancelled my Amex, they didn't even bother asking why etc. as they did some 2-3 years ago...maybe it was because of >10y membership and much bigger spending back then.
I just do not see any point paying anything for the current AX Finland offerings..let's see what they come up with and if attractive enough might take their "new cardholder" promo again in the future.

Free entry to both Finnair lounges (but not the better part of other) for Diners Club Premium cardholders. Earlier it was just to Almost Home. For lesser mortals without the Premium postfix, it is 19 euros per visit I recall (unless Finnair Diners Club Gold or Finnair Diners Club Platinum). Still waiting for my Finnair Diners side card for the Premium card, that should currently reside on Finnair Diners Club Club -level. I suppose AY-DC is the best way to convert spent € to AY+ points?

Good thing it'll hit me next summer only and should be plat way before that.Obviously AY+ doesn't cough up the membership fee on behalf of Golds to Diners' anymore

Interesting - that must be the first perk in a long time that hasn't been made the same "for our top tier customers", ie acting like there is only tier above silver. Perhaps number of Golds and plats have rebounded?
