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.

I checked sales to HKG and BKK (=no JV) they are ticket typed and this type is "Campaign" and shows 25% earning (W).

Has someone tried the following when purchasing these promotion flights "just for AY+ members":
- log in with AY+ details
- start a booking
- change the FF number to AA/BA at the personal details page before payment
- make payment
What will happen? Is there a possibility to get these credited to another FF program?

Of course you can credit to other FFPs. You can change your FF# at any time through MMB.
For clarity - yes, I've bought campaign fares several times and credited elsewhere.

Paying 200€ more ex-ARN you'd get booking class I and thus full J-mileage. Those miles (incl the ARN-HEL J-leg and whatever you fly for positioning) + the saved 5k AY+ may very well make up for the extra cash layout.

Or paying 200 less for QR. But that's beside the point.

Aurinkomatkat has a lot of cheapo AY flights to MIA: for example tomorrow r/t for 7 days = 365€. Might be the cheapest AY flight to US that I've seen. Good value if you are planning a holiday in FL.

In addition to double points for flights to/from Japan until March 31, 2015, there's a similar campaign for Korea.
