New gold benefits?
SAS has for the time being a questionnaire (targeted) with regard to EBGs opinion about exiting and possible future gold perks.
It gives a glimpse of, what COULD be introduced in the future. I would only expect two or so to be introduced, although some looks to cost zero for SAS.
Some of the suggestions - as I remember:
-Points never expire
-1 free upgrade a year
-I guaranteed award flights once a year (for 2 persons) on any date and destination, but not class at normal price.
-25 % discount on award
-300 DEK discount on two tickets a year during holiday seasons
-15 % discount on airport parking, taxi and bus
-Give away a gold card to a family member
-Free food on board, even if traveling economy
-Free coffee at the airport

I also got an e-mail to participate in the questionnaire mentioned above.
Not many suggestions suit me well.... And I was pretty disappointed at only ONE free upgrade to next class, i.e. M to Y or Y to C. They could do at least one free upgrade from M to C.

Well, I think it is hard to get disappointed if you are been giving something extra. An upgrade is always nice, especially IC.

I think alot of these are positive and a move in the right direction...
If they implemented these I MIGHT even consider reupping my EBG status for next year
si far ZERO credited miles to EB this year 
Most of these will not cost EB much...

^ Any more perks are welcome as I see it, since it feels like Gold really isn't giving you that much as it is, or at least not to me, I would welcome the upgrade and the food
