Was able to use my voucher today for my last years + 200K spending.

2 person economy extra (ARN - EWR) in May for 75000 points!

:)

Since there award seats in C from EWR to ARN have been hard to find, I was planning to use the 50% voucher on a ARN-EWR in C and EWR-ARN in Y instead. Membership services clarified that this 50% offer was only valid for bookings in the same class, i.e. if no C-class is available on the homebound part then you cannot book C-class outbound.

Anybody that have received the same response? Terms and conditions on this offer has been limited so this was news for me.

That sounds both unjustified and stupid. What a completely unnecessary way to irritate your customers. If it was me, I would call AmEx and politely ask for an explanation ("You are marketing this benefit to make me use your card as much as possible, but SAS will not let me use the voucher. Why?").

Called Amex about this who stated that this was a promotion handled by SAS and they could not do anything about these conditions. The person I talked to had not heard of this restriction. They advised me to call SAS and try again.

In the meantime, my award availability for the dates I had zeroed in on had dissapeared:td:. Instead of ARN-EWR, I reserved ARN-ORD instead, all in C. This agent though offered to book me in different classes, which the first agent did not permit me to do.

I used the voucher for a trip ARN - EWR in May in Economy Extra. My impression was that had there been Seats available in C either way it wouldn't have been a problem for the agent to book different class on each leg.

Using 2 discounts vouchers for paying 25% possible?
 

Hi Guys,
I've read through the offer limitations and I cant find any limit about this, has anyone tried?

That is I have a voucher (200k spending) from 2010 to be used during 2011, and now I expect I will get the 150k spending voucher during this year, resulting in 2 valid vouchers, each with 50% discount.
Could I actually get to pay only 25%?
Has anyone tried?
Cheers

I think you can only use one voucher per year.

Another question: Anyone know how long it usually takes them to send out the vouchers? I thought I past the 150K spending last month (will for sure this month) but still havn't seen any voucher...

I kinda doubt it. But even if you can, why would you? You save more points by using the vouchers on two separate bookings.

I'm quite sure there's a "can't be combined with other offers" in the fine print somewhere.

Also, consider that it's a better deal to get 2x 50% off than 1x 75% off.


When I received the 200K-voucher last year it arrived quite quickly. However they can "see" it in their systems. When I called to use mine they didn't need the voucher#, just my EB#.

Does anyone have an update regarding this - if mixed classes are allowed with amex discount or not? I am about to receive my voucher and book, and availability EWR-ARN in C is nowhere to be found, so it would have to be mixed classes.
