Purchasing Basic Points

I noticed that SAS mention "You will see if you are able to buy Basic points if you are missing a maximum of 5,000 points to reach Silver, 15,000 points to reach Gold or 30,000 to reach Diamond status".

Does anyone know how much these cost? I.e. if I bought 15,000 points to reach gold what would be the cost?

In the old days it used to cost around 0,1 euro per point, or 10 points per point.

Not sure if that is still the case.

Just open the T&C on that page there it is stated:
You can buy the Basic points you need and pay by credit card or using Extra Points. 1,000 Basic points cost 10,000 Extra points or 100 EUR or the equivalent amount in local currency.

That's for extra points. You can still purchase them, but citiflyeruk is asking for the price of basic points, which is a new option.

The price of the basic points can be found in the terms at the bottom of the page. The price is 1DKK per point and you have to buy the points in blocks of 100 points.
Alternatively you can convert extra points to basis points. 1 basic point costs 10 extra points.

And by the way I think this subject has already been discussed at least one time before.

Basic points has been around for a while, but it was a hidden feature in that you had to search in the shop to find.

And I think the price I mentioned is the same as you did. The price for extra points is 0,02 euro/0,2SEK/NOK/DKK if I remember correctly.
