SAS EuroBonus medlemsvillkor skrev:3. Using points
3.1 Unless otherwise stated benefits and points can be used only by the member personally or his/her closest family.
3.2 Members/legal guardians must ensure that the pin code is not used illegally. SAS bears no responsibility for any consequences of illegal use of the pin code. Members/legal guardians bear full responsibility for taking advantage of the points and benefits whether the member or another person is using them. Misuse is defined in section 1.7. Tickets and documents are sent only to the member’s registered address/email address.
3.3 The number of offers is limited and can be used provided availability. Seats, rooms, cars etc. can be available for regular purchase even though not available for points/as special offer. Some service benefits do not apply to trips paid with points.
3.4 Points cannot be used in combination with cash, discount offers, coupons or other special offers, unless otherwise stated. In case of rebooking and/or cancellation, only valid points are transferred back to the member’s account (expired points cannot be reused).
3.5 Cancellations through EuroBonus Member Service must be made via telephone, not via email or fax if fewer than seven days remains before the offer is to be used. Only bookings made online can be cancelled online. Valid tickets/documents for cancelled offers must be returned to SAS to obtain a refund. When booking or making changes to offers, the member/legal guardian must take into account the opening hours of EuroBonus Member Service and/or allow time for the postal service to deliver the document. Documents that are stolen or lost before the trip or before the offer should be used, are replaced if possible. Charges and fees may apply.
3.6 Points can be used only as payment for tickets/vouchers issued by SAS EuroBonus and in some cases by EuroBonus partners. Points can be used to purchase a Regular ticket wholly or partly or to purchase a EuroBonus ticket. Different rules apply for Regular tickets and EuroBonus tickets as described in section 3.7 below. Travel agencies are not entitled to issue tickets or vouchers in exchange for points.
3.7 Unless otherwise stated:
For a Regular ticket, paid wholly or partly with points, the rules for the Regular ticket apply as described in the fare rules provided when booking the Regular ticket and not the rules for EuroBonus tickets as described below.
EuroBonus tickets and offers:
- Can be cancelled up to one (1) working day before they should have been used.
- Rebooking is, provided the points are still valid, allowed up to one (1) working day before the offer in question must be used (expired points cannot be reused).
- Points cannot be transferred back after an activity has commenced, and a return trip cannot be rebooked or refunded.
- Special rules regarding the minimum duration of a stopover may apply.
- If there is less than one (1) working day before a EuroBonus trip, or arrival at the hotel, the points are not transferred back to the member’s EuroBonus account in case of cancellation.
- If a member or other person using the member’s points falls ill before a EuroBonus trip, a doctor’s certificate is required for rebooking or for a new ticket/voucher to be issued. This applies provided the points are valid. Expired points cannot be reused. If changes or new documents are required, the local SAS ticket office or EuroBonus member services must be contacted. In the case of the death of a close relative, SAS will, if possible, rebook the return trip of the EuroBonus ticket. SAS reserves the right to choose the airline and itinerary for the return journey.
- If the departure and return destination are not the same, the number of points is calculated on the destination in the point table that requires most points.
3.8 In some countries special rules apply for the taxation of benefits within the framework of bonus programs. These rules are defined by the legislators and apply to bonus programs in general in all airlines, hotel chains, etc. Questions on this issue should be addressed to the national tax authorities. SAS accepts no responsibility for the individual member's tax obligations in connection with these rules. Members intending to earn points for activities paid for by their employer must, in some countries, notify their employer of this in advance. Points earned through business travel cannot be used for private purpose without the employer´s permission. Please note that according to Swedish and Norwegian law, state employees may not make private use of points for flight travel, hotel stays, car rental or other activities that are paid for by their employer. In principle, the same rules apply to Swedish and Norwegian public-sector employees.
