Enjoy the hurri-banking´s "deals"!
No initiative whatsoever to ever to change from perfectly the functioning SEB-Master (with 20k credit without asking) to this Finnair ridicule-attempt. Triple points scroungers might think othewise...

I am in it for the points, I will deal with the issues to get my points fixed, easies points there is IMO...
Hopefully the issues can be fixed over time... SEB for instance blocks ALOT of transactions that work with Nordea and Aktia so happy there... I will be cancelling my SEB anyways I hate their 10% bills and they refuse to make a 100% bill on request too...

But you must be doing well if SEB gave you 20k credit limit, because they say max you can get is 10% of your gross income + they also state that 8000€ is the max credit limit overall (even in their application), but maybe you got some special care. Surprised they gave it to you without asking. Good for ya.
Neither company is without faults for sure...

Points, anyone? Well, my N=3 reference group have neither received invoices from june. Nordea MC has steadily posted both invoice and points around 4th bank day for each month, I guess this is likely due to big? volumes of new cards applied in the middle of month. I doubt any other Aktia card has same volumes.

I am guessing the points might post after bill has been paid??

In 1996, Aktia acquired the retail banking operations of SKOP Bank (fi), which went bust in the early-1990s Finnish banking crisis and the recession that followed.

I applied for the card a few days ago, today in my AY+ account I noticed "Finnair VISA Activation". I guess the card is coming.
I'm wondering if this really activated already without any of my actions? I was planning to be AY+ gold (in couple weeks) before activating to get better gifts

Have you checked in the app? Click on the card, there's "Invoice" Click that, there's "current invoice" Mine says Period 15.06.2022 - 28-06.2022, with due date 15.7.2022 with the bank account and reference numbers. My total spend on the card in the period was 0€ , so not expecting any points. Still, I'd prefer to get an email that I have a new invoice. Let's see how it works next month.
I am guessing the points might post after bill has been paid??
