Question 1

How many EuroBonus points do you need for a flight to Brazil?

Accepted Answer

A round-trip Sweden–Brazil award flight in SAS Go usually costs 55,000–60,000 EuroBonus points per person. SAS Plus is around 90,000–110,000 points and SAS Business is 130,000–150,000 points. The 60,000-point welcome bonus alone can cover a full economy round-trip to São Paulo or Salvador.

Question 2

How much are 60,000 SAS Amex points worth?

Accepted Answer

60,000 EuroBonus points are worth roughly SEK 6,000–9,000 in flight value depending on how you redeem them. A round-trip Sweden–Brazil economy award typically costs 55,000–60,000 points, so the welcome bonus can pay for the entire ticket — you only pay airport taxes and fuel surcharges of about SEK 2,500–4,500.

Question 3

How to book SAS award flights with EuroBonus points

Accepted Answer

Log in to flysas.com with your EuroBonus account, select "Book with points", enter your origin (ARN/GOT), destination (GRU/SSA/GIG/REC/FOR) and flexible dates. Award seats are released 11 months before departure and sell out quickly on popular routes, so search as early as possible.

Question 4

What is the SAS EuroBonus Amex card?

Accepted Answer

The SAS EuroBonus Amex range is issued by American Express in Sweden. SAS American Express Elite is the top tier: up to 5 EuroBonus points per krona on SAS purchases, 1 point per 5 SEK elsewhere, plus a 60,000-point welcome bonus through Member Invite.

Question 5

What is the best credit card for travel miles in Sweden?

Accepted Answer

SAS Amex Elite earns the most EuroBonus points per krona on SAS and offers the strongest travel benefits. With the Member Invite offer you also get 60,000 bonus points — the highest current welcome offer.

Question 6

Who is eligible for the 60,000-point Member Invite offer?

Accepted Answer

You must be at least 18 years old, a resident of Sweden with a Swedish personnummer, have a regular income and good credit. You cannot have been a principal or supplementary American Express cardholder in the last 12 months. American Express runs a final credit check on application.

Question 7

How is the 60,000 EuroBonus welcome bonus paid out?

Accepted Answer

The bonus is paid in two installments: 30,000 points after month 7 and another 30,000 after month 13, provided you make at least one purchase per month and pay the card fees on time.

Question 8

How do I earn EuroBonus points with SAS Amex Elite?

Accepted Answer

You earn up to 5 EuroBonus Basic Points per SEK spent on SAS purchases (flights, on-board, SAS Shop) and 1 EuroBonus Extra Point per 5 SEK on all other purchases. Points post automatically to your EuroBonus account each month.

Question 9

Do EuroBonus points earned with the card expire?

Accepted Answer

EuroBonus Extra Points earned via the card do not expire as long as the card stays active. Basic Points follow standard SAS EuroBonus rules (currently 5 years from the date they were earned).

Question 10

How do I book a SAS award flight with EuroBonus points?

Accepted Answer

Sign in at flysas.com, choose "Book with points", enter origin, destination and dates. Search early — award booking opens 11 months before departure, and award seats are capacity-controlled and disappear fast on popular routes like Stockholm–São Paulo and Gothenburg–Salvador.

Question 11

Can I redeem EuroBonus points on Star Alliance partners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can redeem EuroBonus points on 25+ Star Alliance carriers including Lufthansa, United, Singapore Airlines and LATAM. Book via SAS customer service or at flysas.com under "Star Alliance award".

Question 12

What taxes and fees apply to an award ticket?

Accepted Answer

Award tickets still carry airport taxes and fuel surcharges paid in cash. For a Sweden–Brazil round-trip in economy expect roughly SEK 2,500–4,500 depending on departure airport and travel dates.

Question 13

How fast can I earn EuroBonus points?

Accepted Answer

With a 60,000-point welcome bonus and up to 5 points per krona on SAS purchases, you can earn enough for a transatlantic trip in your first year.

Question 14

How much does SAS Amex Elite cost?

Accepted Answer

The membership fee is SEK 575/month (SEK 6,900/year).
