Current and historical promotions
This is a thread for reporting details of promotions in the Finnair+ program.
The purpose of the wiki is to keep a repository of current and historical promotions. This works best if all details are given in a post of the thread. Once such a post is made, edit the wiki and add a short description of promo in headline-style, with a link to the post that holds the detailed information. (You can create such a link by right-clicking the post-number and copy link location).
Do not link to the promo itself from the Wiki, as the promo page is likely to disappear once the promo ended and such link will die, leaving the wiki sans historical info.
Feel free to discuss alterations to the format in the thread below.
Do not delete historical posts.

The link on their page leads you to the manage your AY+ points page. So they didn't update that page to the adjusted fee.

Haha, yes I can see it now!
Once logged in to the finnairshop.com two items appear: One "Transfer points 10€" and one "Transfer points 0€", so one needs to select the one free of charge to get the offer.

This new promotion is just ridiculous and made by amateurs it seems.
T&Cs says:
Eligible booking classes: Finnair Plus partner airlines’ booking classes that are eligible for earning Finnair Plus points. (add link to partner airlines website).
Someone forgot to add that link, plus the link to the registration.
I asked Platinum line where can we sign up for this campaign to get the advertised bonus points from our flights. The answer was:
Our website has wrong information due to a mistake and it will be corrected as soon as possible. You don't need to register yourself. Instead, all Finnair Plus members are automatically registered to these campaigns.
I also asked how many bonus points we will get but haven't received that info yet.

Unfortunately we don't have any information on what these bonus points will possible be.

While the whole AY website site is a rather sad affair (and that's the understatement of the month) the free transfer of points is an excelent opportunity to consolidate points accros accounts in the household.

But how their pages can be such a mess? If you look at the job advertisements for Finnair in general they require MSc etc. plus 10 year work experience even for jobs that look quite entry level on other companies.

Yes this is a good thing and perfect timing, it's been a while since last free transfer promo.

Now they have updated parts of the promo page.
If you fly 3 AY flights within the period you earn 1500 points. If you fly 5 AY flights it's 2500 points and same amounts for partner airlines.

Except they don't say anywhere what is the promo period - actually there is no mention of any time limit. And still says that I flew 0 flights. According to my AY account I flew half a dozen this month.

And the registration link is ... missing. Well, well, well
Also flights must be booked and flown during this 30 days period, which makes the promo for most intents and purposes quite useless.
But hey, we probably have a very active Gamification Officer! Useless promotions, but still!

"Ansaitaksesi lisäpisteet sinun tulee aktivoida tehtävä painamalla aloita painiketta jäsenprofiilissasi ennen lentoasi."No such button, of course.

Maybe it is only me, but under normal circumstances, registration does not equal booking of the flight...
