I don't think so...
From Businessclass.se Hope the exception for F stays. The rest I don't care too much but SK is really pulling one off at the moment. Based on the chart in the first post it is still zone based. But is the option to call them with specific requests being gutted as well? |

Then there are those who seem to just be corporate apologists by nature. So I can’t say I’m surprised that there are people who defend such sleazy corporate antics as instituting a major award chart change with insufficient prior notice to customers. I have been expecting this kind of anti-customer approach from SK now more than ever. And I doubt that SK is going to make Eurobonus better for customers in the main anytime soon — SK are on a course of devaluation after devaluation even at the risk of alienating consumers for more than just an award chart pricing change. Need to go and study where to go after here. Asiana I think. |
Go to Aegean Miles&Bonus. It’s great. You won’t look back. |

When was CPH moved to Japan? :p They have never required 4 segments and still don’t. But if you don’t fly them, you need more miles for elite status. Requalification once you have status is super easy though, it’s almost impossible not to requalify because they have so high earning rates. |

I was certain they required some of their own flights, if not I guess that is where I am heading |

A3 also (at least for the time being) earns much more from cheap SAS Go tickets than Eurobonus.
LX F also earns more, etc. It’s a great program. You might want to have at least 2 A3 flights once you start crediting to them because that helps you earn Silver and then Gold quicker. But YMMV. |

Cutting this, is definitely the worst thing they could do to me as it restricts a lot of the options. |
If they finally make a nice easy way to book awards online 24/7 insted of that I need to call "Tallinn" (Amex 2-4-1) only mon-fri 9-17 Im fine with all other changes presented today. Thoos calls are taking so much time from my travelplanning now

You can call Tallinn 24/7 by dialing one of the international numbers. I only have time to book flights late and night and often find myself dialing the US number. They even have a dedicated line for Eurobonus. And as almost no Americans seem to call them, there is usually no wait time at all. And I don’t have status with EB. |

I have a really difficult time understanding how this fits in with wanting to leverage the EB program to retain travellers. But maybe it is just my English skills and understanding of the words leverage and retain. :D |

I don’t have the credit card, but from what I’ve read, Tallinn can book 2-4-1 vouchers. |
Yes, they can. But there is also another team with a dedicated phone number. You can also apply the 2-4-1 voucher in the online booking system.
