Plusgrade is no longer in use by SAS. They run their own bid process as of February 2nd 2022.
These are the new terms and conditions: https://www.flysas.com/travel/upgrad...rade-tc-en.pdf.
As a major change to the flow, successful bids no longer earn points from the upgraded booking class, but gets a fixed number of additional points depending on the regions of the flight:
Within and between Sweden, Denmark (incl The Faeroe Islands), Norway, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia

Minimum bids started off ridiculously high ($1K+) then dropped to $800, $770, and sat at $462. I placed my bid when I booked months ago & adjusted accordingly. Our return flight shot back up from $462 to over $1K. No tanks.

Ours was not successful but I suspect it was because business class was full.
EWR - CPH bidding 500 /pp for plus -> business for four - got a message around 6 hours out that we were outbid
watching the seat map though I think there was no room to upgrade us into. It’s the Friday before spring break.
the lounge was also nearly full when we got here at 3pm, despite security being no wait.
