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.

Double OT, but here goes. Did your OW Saphire status update quickly to AY IT-system - mine hasn't and made calls to both AA and AY. AA states that they see all working well and AY seems clueless. Have not received my card and using AA app for lounge access seems to be challenging..
but AY IT AY is the only airline I have found that seems to often ask for the physical card when accessing lounge
in TLL and HEL was asked for card even though BP had lounge invotation for 2persons on it? Odd

OddIn TLL they did ask for it, but the only thing you need to remember of it is the number and the expiration date. They can manually enter that to the system and then let you in to the wonderful Nordea lounge...

I haven't been carded very often - I remember almost begging for access at ZRH - one of my most memorable lounge experiences in a while. I had forgotten my card home and the lounge dragon wasn't having it. She finally let in to my undeniable charm.
minutes before I exited the lounge the 2 dragons started singing along the song playing on the system - they both turned fire engine red when I walked out, complimented them on their singing and promised to be back. The embarrassed laughter continued for minutes
Sadly, I haven't been back in ZRH since!

There seems to be a +30% bonus when buying points.
"Transactions must be completed between 24 February (00:00:01 EEST) and 28 March (23:59:59 EEST), 2014"

My family needs extra 31.000 points to reach 150.000 so I can upgrade them HEL-HKG (return). I intend to buy the points.
