2, I'm pretty sure that at least for the second week of May I haven't yet received my points, while the third week has already posted. Also, no points since 24 May (the last week of May should have posted by now)
3, OT, but am also waiting for booking.com to post for booking I had in SIN with them and the 1-2 month AY mentions on their site for the posting of points have already passed... Probably will send an e-mail to Gold CS tomorrow to inquire about them.

One thing that has remained unclear to me ever since the AY-Stockmann cooperation began: apparently it should be possible to pay with AY points when shopping at the department stores but I haven't seen any instructions on how to do that nor what would be the AY Plus point - spent € conversion rate. Not that I would use this payment method anyway - but still information I've tried to look for, out of curiosity.

Ok, interesting. Perhaps not the most customer friendly solution. Usually spending money or points is something people like to plan and understand before going to the checkout. Also, perhaps the Stockmann staff could proactively offer people the possibility by asking something like "by the way, you have the possibility to pay with 15k points insted of cash". But maybe the AY points payment option isn't something that flashes on their screens every time a registered AY+ customer shows their Stockmann card.

I tend to see different here. I think the Exclusive level is quite easy to reach if you like shopping "centralized" at Stockmann instead of running around street boutiques and there are some decent benefits even at that level such as free parking which can save you quite some if you take use of that benefit.
On the contrary I see First level too high to strive for in comparison for the extra benefits which I see quite lame addition. Well now with the lowered threshold, I may change opinion...YMMV

Oh, I did not realize that, shopping elsewhere too adds up on tier level then? Well, then I guess my daughter can get her first shiny card in 1 day oops

Now I've got points posted from Stockmann on 7 June, but that means it again skipped a week (and I'm 100% sure that I did do shopping there, as I do almost all my grocery shopping with them).

Am I the only one who has encountered delay in posting Finnair points earned by shopping at Stockmann? T&C states that points are added within 10 working days. However, I've needed to wait for my points to be posted for three or four weeks lately. I do grocery shopping at Stockmann weekly.
