The optimist in me hopes that Finnair is working proactively on a messaging, providing some alternatives. Maybe one of the influential Lumos could use their channels and ask about any plans?

Eurocard Gold seems to be total waste of breath, AY MC is nothing new, same as has been around for a long while.
Maybe it'll be time to take a serious look at the international € Amex next spring.

I was hoping they would offer a premium mastercard product with a Lounge scheme. Im sure it could be done even if with a annual fee but goid earnings good insurance good lounge access 👍👍

DC Finnair card has been very good. But seriously, if the alternative is Finnair MC, this is not good.

I would not hold my breath. It is clear that SEB Kort was not interested in the premium customer segment for real. I had the DC Premium card from the beginning when it was launched, and the perks got removed one by one. When it was first introduced, it came with complimentary SK EBG membership and relatively good insurance coverage. Now, I am not even aware of what perks remain. I was about to terminate the premium card this year, but never got around to doing so.

Perhaps, one could hope some issuer Would see a market for such a premium card.... I am sure there are people who are willing to pay a premium for a good card with benefits but not the 700€ AX charges....

I'm one of those... Simply cannot justify even for myself the 700€ annual fee for the Amex Plat, but would be willing to spend a reasonable amount of money for a premium card.

Well, I tried to launch a card to the elites here 3 years ago.
So send me your money and I'll see what I can do
