SAS EuroBonus MasterCard – more points on daily shopping

Posted on by

SAS Scandinavian Airlines is offering two options for co-branded credit cards. First option is SAS EuroBonus American Express, which is a great offer for travel lovers and points freaks.

But SAS EuroBonus Amex has two obvious cons, it is expensive and not accepted in most of the places.

As a great backup option, SAS is offering SAS EuroBonus Mastercard, which is also connected to EuroBonus account and would accumulate additional EuroBonus extra points on each purchase in the places where MasterCard is accepted.

When you sign up, SAS would reward you with 4000 introduction extra points if you make a purchase within 30 days after receiving credit card.

This SAS EuroBonus credit card has a flat earning rate of 10 points per 100 SEK spent, or simply 1 EuroBonus point for each euro spent. It is not as good as American Express Elite and Premium cards, but it costs only 20 euros first year, and 40 euros service charge next years.

You can apply for the card at SAS EuroBonus World MasterCard homepage .

Remember, that you need Swedish Social Security number in order to apply.

Start paying with your EuroBonus MasterCard as soon as you get it and in all places where American Express is not accepted in Scandinavia and worldwide.

You can sign up for  double the points offer before 1st of March.  You would receive x2 EuroBonus points on all SAS travels between 6th March and 10th April 2017.

Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) is a “triple flag carrier”, which has a long history of being the major airline within Scandinavian region and dominating Danish, Swedish and Norwegian markets.

Norwegian Airlines was established in 2007, meanwhile it took several years of aggressive pricing and network expansion before the company became known. In 2016 it introduced a refreshed Norwegian Rewards program, which is not connected with any major airlines alliance.

Here is a summary of the benefits of both SAS Eurobonus and Norwegian Rewards frequent flyer programs, their pros and cons.

  • Tired of wasting several hours in check-in lines, because someone in front of you has 10kg overweight?
  • Not impressed with 25 minutes waiting time via security, because someone has endless metal items on him/her?
  • Ran out of battery and the only plug in the airport is by the toilet and already has a line to use it?
  • Find it ridiculous to pay triple for everything in the airport, including “free” tap water?

Sounds like it’s time to get frequent flyer elite status, and if you live in Scandinavia, the best choice is SAS EuroBonus Gold Status (Star Alliance Gold), so the next trip you enjoy priority lanes, cozy lounges and spend time sipping wine or bubbly!
