SAS Bonus Challenge...or not?!?
My wife received an email from SAS with a bonus challenge, something like 6 round trips before June to get 6k points
(with the option to earn more with more flights). I logged onto my account today and see a link for this, but it does not allow me to register. Has anyone else been able to register?
I am curious to know if this is really targeted or just SAS IT at its finest

Lycka till!

No, didn't receive the mail yet - but they have 33 hours left. Pretty weird that it takes so long to generate a mail in the system. Probably some guy in India has to write it by hand
Did you try to enter your full number including the EBG prefix?

Mega weird. Tried the Danish banner that was on my log-in page. "Not invited" Tried the Swedish one. "Not invited" (Didn't get a mail)
Difference. Then tried again, typing EBG and then number. Now it worked - on the Swedish link, not the Danish. (I'm Danish)
SAS IT-department. Cracks me up.

I got the invite last year, but didn't make my target (Lot of WF legs, basically very few outright return trips). I didn't get the invite this year (20 legs remaining to hit EBD before the end of July), but my partner did (low EBS)

Yeah I got the new one aswell and it's not as appealing, it's too few points (30k for 6 r/t trips for me) and too short time compared to last one (60k for 9 r/t trips for me).
Also I was a bit discouaraged after finishing the last challenge I got an email saying I hadn't completed it, and it took me over an hour with the chat support to convince them that their t/c didn't state that you had to book the trips before you had to sign up aswell. They kept refering to all the emails they had sent, which didn't say it either, but a bit frustrating they couldn't just read their own t/c as soon as I told them that they were wrong...
