OSL-SIN-OSL
As the double point period is closing up, I am tempted to buy flights OSL-SIN (via HEL) and returning from SIN on the same day. In September the prices seems pretty reasonable. Does anyone has experience/knowledge would they allowed you to board in HEL and/or to get to SIN as you have return tickets. Trying to make sense on IATA and Finnair sites without any big success...

SIN is very decently priced from many places, so I understand your desire. However, SIN has restrictions on transiting, so probably no. The transfer route must be preapproved by CAAS:
Passengers are not allowed to transit Singapore.
- This does not apply when traveling on airlines with transfer routes approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). Passengers must check with airlines if they have the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)'s approval, before purchasing tickets.

Probably they dont allow You board in OSL:
This can mean that all transfers in SIN are prohibited arriving with AY131.
Transferring via Singapore from Finnair flight AY131 to other destinations is not allowed

Technically you're right, but this is probably just sloppy wording from AY marketing - you might want to fight for those few hundred points, I wouldn't. (especially given the very low odds of success)

This time they write it explicitly to avoid wrong expectations but this seems to cause more confusion.

I had total 6 TKU Business Campaign flights during campaign and 2 already fixed to 4500 points but this seems to be difficult operation for AY Plus. 
They really dont know what to do and how to do it.

Now all of my domestic business legs are corrected.
B as Business
The new era started on 31MAR20 when AY told that points are credited by ticket types. So their promise is 200% and that they will give.
And nothing to do with real cabin class.

If intended, then yet another step towards the short hauler program of the year 
Next interesting thing to see is if/when shorthaul business class light tickets will see a competitive pricing in the long term.

Buy points with discount -offer:
".. Kun ostat pisteitä itsellesi tai lahjaksi 20.8.–16.9.2020, voit Finnair Plus Platinum -jäsenenä säästää 35 % pisteiden hinnasta.."
Two interesting and new elements:
1. The offer states that "as Platinum member" I can save 35% when buying points. Is this offer only to Plat members?
2. This time the price of the points is discounted by 35% and not that I will get 35% more points, i.e. buy 77.500 points for 650 eur (normally 1.000 eur)
