Everything worked fine. Did my first purchase yesterday and looking forward to spend 500 😀 a month for the next 3 months to reach silver. Have not had a status for a long time since I fly very little but nice to get priority security and a free golf bag for my winter flights

For me, Aktia told that they didn’t have my phone number on file, causing the issue at login. (Don’t know how it is possible, since I’m sure that was asked on the application form)

The application was a mess alot of my information on the application was saved in aktias customer database in wrong fields so I would not be suprised if a phonenumber was saved as zip code etc 😁😁

Aktia had a very good CS-guy. He doubted the tricks mentioned here, he believed it was due to coincidence that app has started working suddenly. According to him data was transfered from Aktias data to another card data system making people's app to suddenly start working.

Time: 9:03 PM. Changed Android language to Finnish.
Time: 9:04 PM. Opened Finnair Visa app and it started working, authentication with bank ID successful, could activate the card etc.
Time: 9:05 PM. Changed Android language back to English. Finnair Visa app continued to work.
Too much coincidence not to be about the language change, IMHO. But there might be other reasons for the app not working for somebody else, such as the phone number issue...

Seems to me that this will mean a big boom in AY Silver numbers. But maybe the general inflation dynamics and the stagnant wealth effect will keep the demand down for this card product more than it would have a year ago.

So, if I activate the card today, on Jun 29th, the 500eur/month should be spent in Jul, Aug and Sep? If I activate the card for example on Jul 5th, the period would be Aug, Sep and Oct? Did I get it right?

Btw.. How this 3 months period is actually counted? (" - - 500 euros per month during the first 3 months (three full calendar months from activating the card to your Finnair Plus account"))

Interestingly, when I log into the Aktia web bank, it says "you have no cards" I cannot check/change many card settings in the app, so what gives? Call? So 20th century.
If I want to change my PIN code, I can do it in the app, but it means they'll send a new card with the new PIN. For comparison, with Raiffeisen I got my card with a pre-assigned in the bank, walked to the ATM and changed the PIN right away - it's an actual option on the ATM screen.
