Frequently asked questions.

Everything members and prospective members ask about EuroBonus, the SkyTeam transition, transfer bonuses, and how FlightMaxer works.

What is SAS EuroBonus?

EuroBonus is the frequent flyer programme operated by SAS (Scandinavian Airlines). It is the dominant loyalty programme across Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, and earns points on SAS flights, partner carriers, hotels, car rental, credit cards, and a large shopping portal.

Does EuroBonus still work after SAS joined SkyTeam?

Yes. EuroBonus continues to operate as before — members earn and redeem on SAS-operated flights and on SkyTeam partner carriers under SkyTeam earning rules. Legacy Star Alliance partnerships have wound down for new bookings. FlightMaxer tracks both transitions and only ranks promotions that produce points usable today.

How is value-per-point calculated?

We use a 90-day rolling average of business-class EuroBonus reward redemption value on routes most relevant to Nordic members (long-haul to BKK, NRT, EWR, LAX plus intra-European trunk routes), then cross-reference against the equivalent revenue fare. The result is a SEK value per point that lets every promotion be compared on the same scale.

Why only one email per week?

EuroBonus promotions don't move fast enough to justify daily noise. A weekly cadence captures every meaningful offer while still letting members act before deadlines. Most issues land Monday at 07:00 CET, giving the week to book.

Is FlightMaxer affiliated with SAS?

No. FlightMaxer has no commercial relationship with SAS, Star Alliance, SkyTeam, American Express, SEB, or any partner brand. We run no affiliate links and accept no sponsorship slots. The ranking you see is the ranking the methodology produces.

Do you cover Amex Membership Rewards transfer bonuses?

Yes. American Express Sweden runs Membership Rewards → EuroBonus transfer bonuses several times a year, usually at 25–35%. These are typically the highest value-per-point promotions of any given month and are always ranked at the top when active.

What about SEB Eurocard?

SEB Eurocard is the most common Nordic-issued EuroBonus credit card. We monitor its bonus point campaigns, welcome bonus refreshes, and category multipliers, and include them in the weekly ranking when value-per-point exceeds our threshold.

Do you cover Norwegian Reward or Finnair Plus?

Our primary focus is EuroBonus. We do occasionally flag Finnair Plus or Norwegian Reward promotions when they are convertible to EuroBonus value, but they are not the core of the newsletter.

How do households use FlightMaxer?

Many Nordic frequent flyers pool travel across a household — partners, kids, parents. The weekly briefing helps a household decide which flights to book under which EuroBonus number, when to forward an Amex transfer, and which retro-claims to file before the 12-month window closes. Phase-two app features will let households manage all of this in one dashboard.

Will you ever charge money?

The weekly email will remain free. Optional paid features — household dashboards, retro-claim tracking, per-trip yield breakdowns — are planned for members who want to manage their entire EuroBonus footprint in one place.

How do I unsubscribe?

One click from any issue. We don't ask why. We don't run a re-engagement campaign.
