I think you're right. It's still a hell of a lot of extra EBGs, now earning 25% more EB points. Even with the new earnings, 45.000 points really isn't any sort of barrier when you get the earnings bonus.
Also: Pandions can give away a Diamond card.* I wonder if they can give away EBG as well? I'm pretty sure SAS IT can't handle a differentiation in Diamond status (and they shouldn't, I guess - if an EBP perk is to give away EBD, then those getting EBD should get all the benefits).
I truly think they'll have to either make more cuts to EBGs soon - or vastly expand the lounges, fast track capacity, priority boarding lines (good thing they aren't enforced in Scandinavia anyway, huh?).
*I know this for a certain fact. I know some of thrive on questioning everything that doesn't come from users with 10,000 posts and a Swedish name, but you can believe this or not. It's still true.

Any other benefits? Maybe 2 items per qualification period from the goodie bag?

This is the one major bugbear I have with SK, it's priority boarding for priority passangers, if the great unwashed try to board early send them to the back of the line, if they don't like they should buy better tickets or fly mopre often!

It depends a bit. If it is a flight where travel agents have bought tickets for groups of people they may well have paid for / agreed to be seated together.

I also find this question interesting - I've also wondered about how many elites there are of each tier. However I'm torned when it comes to setting qualifying requirements. I agree on the fact that 45' BP isn't much but however i consider 45 segments to be 'enough' for EBG. It might be based on the fact that I mainly travel for leisure. However I realize and respect that the EBD and EBP:s should receive special attention, more than me as a EBG, but I don't get why an option would be to distinguish between EBG in Go or Plus on SK metall? Saying that I 've also seen the amount of elites at fast-tracks and in the lounges but my impression of that is that there also is some *A gold-holders - not just EBG/EBD/EBP:s

I still wonder why it's considered a diamond perk to give away a goldcard: it just creates longer lines in FastTrack and absolutely no seating in the gold lounges, so what's in it for me as a diamond customer? I'd rather have some free upgrade vouchers which also might be cheaper for SAS to hand out.
