This I call good customer service and attitude par excellence. Thank you, FinnairPlus you just re-won my lumotic heart over again.

Dunno if it wise to admit that being grounded for some time comes with benefits, too. Almost 400k in 5 months is gradually getting to my nerves. Or it may be the dusty seat of a 330...

Would it be possible to do this request much later on in order to cut the extension short? Like, if things clear out in June, request in June to cut it short so that the new tracking period would start already from June or July? This way one could start flying as soon as possible, but still having an extension covering the period of uncertainty.

It would certainly help (my points account if nothing else) and it would be fun, but no. There was s secret message in my inbox but sadly it selfdestructed before I was even told "should you choose to accept"

I reviewed the whole thread and I think from the info it is still not possible to deduct a 100-proof understanding how this extensions affects tier tracking and it worries me a bit, given how AY IT is.

For example, if my Lumoperiod is now 6 months in now, I understand that I can still enjoy 6+6 months Lumo perks. But I dont see if my next Tracking period starts 6 months from now or after 6+6 months.

At least to me it is clear that it says that any current tracking period will be extended to 18M and the next tracking period following that will be 12M starting from the end of the current tracking period.

For me, that Fplus wording is far from clear. Read it with prudency and you note.
I leave nothing for ”I understood this way or that way” in these context. It has to be idiotclear.
