When do points appear in Eurobonus?
I book all of my business flights through a corporate travel agent. I have to search for those flights on the flysas site manually. My Eurobonus number is associated with the flights.
When do the corresponding Eurobonus points appear in my account?
It's been a couple of days now since my outbound flight. With BA the flight itself in the Executive Club site and points showed up in 24-36 hours.

There's no set time however I've noticed some sort of pattern with my weekly travel on SK:
LO (and OS, at times) flights tend to appear amongst my EB transactions the following day.
G
- MON GDN-CPH-BHX - will post the following Thursday
- THU BHX-CPH-GDN - will normally appear Saturday night

On my lasts few flights it has been very quick. Less than 24H for a Lufthansa flight. But otherwise I would normally say 2-5 days.

I find that flights on other StarAlliance carriers post within 1 or 2 days, similar to TA flights also 1-2 days. Intra-Europe is a complete mystery to me, it will take at least 4 days but can take up to 3 weeks.

It is always wonderful how other FFP post the points/miles before SAS, even on a SAS flight. I have been tracking award tickets since before Christmas and am getting nervous as availability is disappearing. I only needed 1 long haul to post, but I am still waiting from Dec 29th and Jan 10th (ok, not so long yet). I will be quite disappointed to miss the award tickets because SAS cannot post the miles quickly. Kids miles posted to A3 within 2 days in both cases.

So Monday's flight now fully shows in terms of EB Points and 'Recent Activity' - so that's actually 4 days to show.
When I checked yesterday, which was 3 days after the flight, I could see some points added but the flight taken wasn't showing in recent activity.

It is correct that outside of the unacceptably long delay in points to post, there is a further delay in when they show up in your activity.
I think we're all very much aware that SK's IT department is absolutely worthless but there is really no reason why the amount of points you get for a flight aren't automatically credited. You are generally presented with the amount you'll earn at the time of booking so it is not like they have to calculate it or figure it out (outside of intermediate ticket changes).
So either SAS's systems have a variable delay in posting points, which would make no sense or there is an unnecessary human step involved to post points. So when your post points 3 weeks late, it must have been because the point-posting employee was on parental leave. Not the kind of brand reputation they should be looking to develop.
It would arguable be better to automatically post points and get it wrong than to delay it until someone gets to it.

I'm a mere 11.000 points away from Gold however my qualification ends on 31st January. Now i'm going to SFO from CPH on 26th and return on 30th which gives me 12.000p from SAS PLUS.
Even though SAS are slow at accumulating points it might take days for me to receive my earning points. my question is: will I get my gold status in time? what do you think?
