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.

not because I dont like AY but just a total lack of imagination on AYs part on the promotions route and pricing. 
But I could see myself doing something crazy like HEL-OUL-HEL-ARN-HEL-OUL-HEL in a day 10 times 😄😄😄
For the sport of it if nothing else

But seriously, I doubt most airline staff understand the concept or even care.

From AY Plus mail I had today (in Finnish):
It's about rules of 2000 extra points and says all new reservations made 24-28NOV.
Ansaitse lennoista 2 000 lisäpistettä
Rekisteröitymisaika: 24.–28.11.2016. Sinun tulee rekisteröityä ennen lentoasi. Vain uudet varaukset aikavälillä 24.–28.11.2016 oikeuttavat lisäpisteisiin. Matkustusaika: 25.11.2016–31.3.2017.

These prices from Sweden, also considering the current SEK exchange rate, are quite good. HKG under 15k SEK in Business, for example. https://www.finnair.com/se/se/member-offers

One important distinction from the T&C this time:
If this is the new standard one can't help but thinking they are working hard to make these points promos less attractive for the FT'er.
Other details about this promo (in order to keep a record on FT once the AY pages are gone):
You can only earn extra points for one short-haul flight and one long-haul flight during the campaign period.

15% off of all pre-orders for flights during December. I wonder if this can be combined with the 10% tier discount?

You can also register via other countries, though it was not advertized on the last AY+ mail, e.g.: https://www.finnair.com/fi/gb/thank-you
EDIT: Terms say it's restricted to CZ. Website is over-eager and writes down the country which you selected in the URL, but I guess this won't work from Finland anyway.

I got the 2 000 extra points for a flight that was not booked during the black friday campaign.
