Maybe we can rename this the DiaperBonus Forum Kafe and then share tips on frequent diaper purchase and use bonuses. 
I always wanted to discuss the history of people smuggling diapers out of Norway and selling Norwegian diapers in the Baltic and other EU states sort of east of Denmark.

Is there always a difference between a criminal case and a business case:

Interesting catch. I guess 25,179 diapers do take a pretty decent sized van. I guess a COOP shop somewhere in Norway had a great month....

Why is SAS so miserly with releasing business class award seats close to departure when it comes to non-EBG/EBDs? I’ve seen SAS long-haul flights go out with 30-60% of the forward cabin empty and yet SAS only released maybe one award seat up close to departure. And even then the release may have been related to calling in favors and playing a game.

Not better for EBG or EBD. Only Pandions can request to open up award space.
in general SK is pretty stingy releasing J award seats on their long haul flights. Probably to safekeepings them for all those family and friends traveling...

As far as I know SK is releasing the award seats together with the seats been made available for purchase. I can't recall ever seen more award seats released later. They probably want to keep the spare seats for the bid and courtesy upgrades.
The number of award seats available we can discuss, but I kind of like the SK way compared to LH and SQ not releasing anything but eco until 2 weeks before takeoff.

I have seen it happen enough that I know it happens with SK long-haul. It just happens so very little that most people wouldn’t notice this even when looking to see if/how it happens. Now I’m wondering how much of my seeing this has been related to voluntary award travel cancellation/changes and how much is related to favors being called in by those who can.

0. For those who can request award space to be opened, i.E. Pandions, the agent will request the flights and once approved books the ticket for the Pandion. These seats won't never hit the general award inventory.

I'll be flying from Europe to AKL in a few months. As I was looking for the best J fares even if it implied some re-positioning flight I noticed that TG has some R/T for less than 3.000€ with most available options regarding departure airports netting straight EBG (all TG business class net 200% mileage credit). Immediate turnaround in AKL is also possible as it seems if someone wants to consider a mileage run

Is there any email address for EB?
I had a Hertz car rental that didn't appear in my account, but Hertz claims that the miles were processed in December, which probably means that I have to contact EB to check why it's not in my account, and I don't want to call for such a trivial matter.

That's where I started, but it failed. I then contacted Hertz by email, and they answered that they've already credited the miles. So my next sted would probably have to be to contact EB directly.

Have you and/or Hertz double-checked to make sure the SK EB number was accurately entered into Hertz’s system?
