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.
2018 and earlier promotions can be found here.

Also that BKK price is really höpöhöpö for a ticket with no points.
I 'm just searching BKK Value and best offer is now 506€.
Only thing positive with that offer is that there is no min stay/sa su höpöhöpö rules.

If the ticket does not earn points, is it actually a revenue ticket -> such promotion drains award fares away from other pax ?
Did AY have also some other non-earning fares than awards?

Just like you said, the points offers are nothing short of stupidity these days. But like many things nowadays, this is aimed at a very different crowd than us.

But south side of beijing is not really for anybody to visit. Companies are most in East and north, Entertainment in East or West.
It's gonna be a long way to the city, extra hassle to change transport.

There seems to be some great campaign fares ex-HEL for sale this weekend, like ARN in J for 698 EUR 
Not even the Y fares are anything special. HKG for 498 EUR is probably the best offer.

With the risk of AY lurkers removing any points that I'm not entitled to, I'll still ask: I booked a ticket in late August, ticketed in early September, via TallinkSilja with Clubone points. Those book into Q and earn points accordingly, but for my outbound flight ex-HEL, I earned 1250 TPs and 3250 award points, so 2000 bonus. Why?
This sounds like an AY extra points campaign, but are those really available via all booking channels and TAs? I was under the impression that you need to book directly with AY. Tallink books these via Suomen Matkatoimisto / American Express Global Business Travel, I believe.
