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 had to read about the black plussa card just as it was new to me, it seems only purchases in K stores count ie NOT partner purchases like IF insurance etc? Any experiences? I do NOT buy alot from K stores as I have had ZERO use for Plussa poins but I may be tempted by AY points for shopping but that would require the black card evidently 
upon readibg closely the K plussa and IF insurance prtnership ended 12/2016 👎 I guess I missed the info on that IF just cannot seem to stay with any partner maybe time for a closer look at my insurances at the same time

As a curiosity, I think I have identified the rock bottom spend on a partner. I did not yet have a Finnair Diners Club card. Applied for one, and now my statement says "F+ DINERS CLUB ACTIVATION" with zero points, and that counts as one of the 20 items.

No mention of return flights, so I take a HEL-HKG//ICN-HEL qualifies as well.
EDIT: AY chat confirmed, that open jaw is OK, but both legs must end/originate in China

Thank you for your help with the double points promotion. I decided to wait until today before booking and luckily, Finnair just today extended travel period of their Puerto Plata business offer until end of January 2018. I'm going there twice in Jan 2018 and a day trip to Berlin. I will credit some of my flights to AY+ instead of BAEC during this year in order to get AY+ silver for 2018. Thus, the total points I gain in Jan 2018 should be 151200. Total cost is a bit less than 4000.
An other option me would have been BKK-HEL-JFK-HEL-BKK in J and HEL-BKK in Y. It would have cost 3200.

As you can imagine, this solution is not exactly a popular one. Join in on the debate - if you dare.

Thanks Steve_Hun! Looks like they covered the essential bit of both the contents and the spirit of the thread in just a few lines. I feel like a celebrity right now
