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.

(in comparison to SK who calls this a "triple points offer" - tier points same as you would get normally + twice the award points is technically 3 times the miles flown, but leads people to think they will get 3 times what they usually would get. Borderline criminal. With such a terminology the normal state of life is "double points" as you will receive both award and tier points. Sorry, digressing.)
I have criticized AY for bad marketing many times and am now praising them for speaking clearly what the offer is about.
What it does not explicitly say, is if tier points are as normal, but I assume so. Ie normal tier bonus (25%) applies to tier points and 100% applies to award points.

Also not applicable to JL-coded but AF-operated flights... which some OTA happily offer, even from HEL. I wonder how the profit sharing even works for those.

Please note that extra award points do not count towards your tier point accrual.

Well, it said that all the time.
I just meant there is nothing stated about my normal bonus (25%) on my tier points. Assuming they didn't remove it, but I have learned the hard way you need to look for the things that are not mentioned.
