What happens after one reaches Lumo? It is now four weeks after I reached it, the only visible thing is the status changed in the website, vouchers, Gold gift cards etc. but nothing in email or letters - no welcome or other kind of acknowledgment that I reached it (the promotion emails and upcoming flight information emails show the status properly). Website congratulates me for renewing my Lumo status although this is my first time I reached it but that is just AY IT having fun with me.
I was expecting that there would be some kind of email, order instructions for the Lumo welcome gift or something - are they just very slow with these or am I missing now something completely? Maybe they wait until the month changes and then run the check for any new Lumos among their customers?

I think it would be nice if such emails would show up when achieving any status. Even reaching silver is a big stretch for many and I'm sure an email acknowledging it would be appreciated. And wouldn't cost anything to send. Also, some kind of "almost there" communication, thanking for loyalty and encouraging to reach the next threshold wouldn't hurt either.

It's horrible how Finnair treats their own Top Tier customers.
It that was my business I would call person how is going to reach Lumo soon or is very close to it "So we are here monitoring that You're to going to be our Lumo, We are here for You and we'll contact right after You are our Lumo"
And Finnair is not even posting a letter to new Lumos.

I wouldn't be surprised if they find themselves surprised by the increasing number of Lumos...

My last flights were just yesterday and I was hoping to get Lumo asap for upcoming upgrade needs, but now my problem is that those 3 last flights were all upgraded legs which are notoriously not posting without re-claim.

Just comparing to my bank, car dealer, some of the restaurants I like to visit, etc. who all have had their very much unique, personal and nice ways to appreciate the customer relationship and journey we have had together, I must say I’m amazed by the fact Finnair just ignores the opportunity to touch base with a customer who apparently is amongst their most frequent ones and also brings nice 50+ kilo euros of revenue in on an annual basis. I don’t expect gifts or freebies or being treated as a king, but a simple email or phone call would at least in my case go a long way.

Like OHKRT mentioned, after the status changes, the vouchers, Gold card gifts and Lumo welcome gift appeared to the benefits list immediately. Also the app content changed immediately and started to promote the new email address and phone number for Lumo service.

But I would argue that such research is of limited value, for multiple reasons. First the usual suspects - which customer types chose to answer and how does that affect the sample, are they correct or even honest in their self assesment.
But major flaw is that share of wallet has little bearing on the future. It is a historic number and travel budget and destination can change rapidly. And it says nothing about the propensity to alter travel. You may know that your platinums has x % travel on competing airlines, but you don't know if they are able or even willing to move that share to you for a BMW ride to the ATR.
Finally, the intended group is infinitesimal to begin with. 30 FT'ers running, or nut running, for lumo affects the total number ±10%. In all other tiers we are invisible...
I guess we will never know, but perhaps future program changes will be a tell tale. Will they add more perks to lumo or will they water it down?
