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.

https://www.kaligo.com/company/about_us suggests that you can't credit to AY, although you apparently can credit to AB. Weird website.

Luckily I had no place for the bubbly, so NEXT Friday I'll load up on it.

Cheap fares ex-OSL/ARN/CPH to North America, competing with SK and DY I assume. 250-300 EUR depending on destination, 300 EUR to LAX from OSL. Not amazing, but a lot better than prices ex-HEL.

Re the onboard shopping discount.
Again I realised how much value one can wring from those AY points when combined with this discount. I did some preorder shopping and bought also AY tax-free vouchers.
Optimal scenario - buying products with a total price (before discount) of 125€ or a multiple of that. Why so?
125€ -20% = 100€ to pay. Instead of taking out your point earning card on board, head back to the AY shop and buy a tax free voucher with a nominal value of 100€. Go to the shopping basket and move the slider to the extreme left 1000p + 79,89€* Print out the voucher, give it in lieu of payment to the FA on board.
Et voilá, you parted with less than 80€ for products originally costing 125€. Where else can you get such discount on booze in Finland?
There are also 50€ and 20€ face value vouchers, but the provide less bang for the buck, the 50€ is best at 1000p + 38,28€ Still not a bad deal.
NB - if you don't use up the total value, you won't get change back from the voucher, so it's lost. But you can always co-pay with money if the voucher value is not enough

*all other combinations provide sharply decreasing value for the points - the other extreme being 33k points + 0€ for the 100€ voucher
