I was told yesterday that 10€ discount vouchers for Herkku are history now, as is earning Finnair Plus points. Please correct me if I’m wrong. |

That is what I also assume. For me with a little bit over 300€ spending per month at Herkku this was a good deal.

Green Herkku or no, I give them a big ^ for today's help. A Herkku in a remote location requiring eccentric transportation (I haven't used for years) stored highly sought after obscure edible items for 10 days based on shady phone calls to several Stockmann call centers on the week after Christmas.

FYI: Customer service center manager from Stockman just confirmed me that Herkku's loyal customers gets 10€ discount vouchers also in the future when using Stockmann's loyalty card.

Some AY+ points from December are still missing... as we know, every point is valuable. :D |

Did anyone get actually vouchers for their groceries in December? I am quite sure that I was above the threshold, but I didn't receive anything.

And because this is Flyertalk, we need to optimize (=maximize) the amount of S-bonus we get for our spend. To do that, don't get the HOK bonus card. It requires 1500eur/month for the full 5% bonus. Instead look for alternate places to get the card, e.g. TOK (Turun Osuuskauppa), which gives you the same 5% for just 900eur/month. You can get the e.g. the TOK card even in the Helsinki region, just let them know you want to join TOK and not HOK.

Stockmann's Crazy Days catalog just arrived. No Finnair flights in it.

In 2018 flights are sold on Internet, not in yellow pages or catalogs. :D |
Going little off "Hullut Päivät" but noticed from recent newsletter-email that apparently since this year the purchases made with Stockmann MC also count towards First-level and not just Exclu as before so reaching First has been effectively made easier.

This actually makes it possible to compare to AY points. Spending 5k with Stockmann MC means spending that much less on other cards. DC spend as a Plat would earn 15000 points. Would you value Stockmann First that amount? Yes I realise that you would probably have to spend a bit less as you would likely buy at least something from Stockmann but that’s not the point. |
So it seems. This of course varies but in many cases the real tradeoff would probably be less considering DC's acceptance rate (and if I recall correctly, the bad exchange rate they use if having non-EUR spend). Another comparison could be against 5000 AY points (this assuming 5k less AY MC spend where DC is not accepted/not feasible to use). Also, Stockmann status is valid three years so technically you would only need to reach this spend level in every three years (at least until the duration is enhanced). |
