Many years ago Sixt even had a pop-up booth in the lounge at HEL trying to rope in elite members, but I didn't know it was an ongoing affair. I just noticed it in a recent marketing email

Finnair needs more cash.
10-40% bonus for points puchase between 22 and 25 march.
https://www.finnair.com/se-en/finnai...xchange-points


I wonder if award availability will stay low, that would be a double whammy. Get cash, don't let people use points.

If they really need cash, they would top up the offer with tier points. This offer here will not have many takers, but still better than nothing for AY.

Agree this is a really meager offer, as there have been double points campaigns even before COVID. If they matched the campaign of December they would probably get new participants.
(If they on the other hand would top it, I doubt it would have much additional effect?)

I am not so sure any version of buy points will be a hit now.
At least not many seasoned members will buy - there is nothing to redeem on. And I think AY knows that, as the marketing promoted "use your points in the finnairshop". Who on earth would spend real cash to get points that can't be redeemed anywhere but in a closed finnairshop where prices are high and offer is low?

Imo this time has been especially good for using points to award flights. I have found them only after covid since they give the flexibility needed. Also the -20 % promo of award flights after the +100% buy points promo was a tremendous combination: far from devaluation.

40k points vs 130-150€ revenue booking (that's been flexible)? I booked with money those flights. As my fav destinations in Asia (all of Asia, alas) have been closed most of the covid time, long hauls were not an option for me to burn points (or money)

Yes, you are right. It all comes down to what routes one is interested in. If you want to redeem on routes where Finnair likely will fly in the future and where they publish award seats, then awards are of course great value for those reason you mention.

On longhul though, there is first of all very few routes operating and on those routes awards are not easily come by. Much of what is published is only available from HEL and not from conneting flights
. And even in normal times Finnair goes only so far, so for me awards on partner airlines are important too. That has been a disaster with a booking engine that doesn't work, miscalculates taxes, shows phantom availability but fails to see what other airlines can book.

It’s 30k nowadays intra-Europe but I see your point. With the -20% promo it was still worthwile… Hoping for another one to come.

And to add: my usual destination(s) always cost north of 200€.
