What I meant, is it really fine to add the number later regarding the triple point promotion? I know I would be able to do it later...

This all boils down to a mismatch between the intent of the campaign and terms of sales on one side, and the actual software coding and database on the other side.

I would read "don't forget to add the number on the reservation" as it's fine to add it later?!

I read the reminder to add the membership number to the booking as a requirement to do so when booking, in order to there being even a remote chance for it to work as marketed.

Edit : I just checked T & C and it says " Remember to add your Finnair Plus member number on your reservation". I hope it does not mean during booking process.

So I expect that it would work regardless in practice. But it is ostensibly not supposed to work, and you'd have no recourse if it does fail for any reason.

Currently it seems to be a pain to get the additional points into the system. Let alone that they should be marked as points earned for AY flights. This is what really bothers me if you aim for Lumo.

I very much doubt there is any rule saying you need to add the number at booking, and finnair IT certainly is NOT that sophisticated to track that.
I would be 99% that adding a ay+ number before flying is enough. PERHAPS FinnairPlus can verify

I just booked a platinum renew flights. All flights next fall during the one week. A few flights around Europe and one CDG-BKK-CDG rt. All flights Y flex except one HEL-ARN-HEL Campaign Light. At this platsku is secured well into 2024. All this was around 140 points/eur. Bangkok is mass tourism as I'm gonna be there four looong days.
