Criticism of The Program
Although EuroBonus has been awarded the Freddie Awards several times, there are still SAS Group passengers who criticize certain elements of the EuroBonus program. One of the most criticised features (see for example discussions on Eurobonus forum on community site FlyerTalk) that so many booking classes were exempted from full earnings of Eurobonus points. For certain routings this meant that you had to buy an almost full fare Economy ticket to avoid only earning 25% of the Eurobonus points. This is now changed so that all economy tickets gives you 100% miles. On the other hand, Premium Economy fares (dubbed Economy Extra on SAS) earns 150% of the EB-points for the routing in question. Another often criticized part of the EuroBonus program is the fact that points/miles expire after 5 years regardless of activity. This is as opposed to some other airlines where as long as you keep flying once every two years, your miles will never expire. Or even some airlines like Delta Airlines where your miles never expire.

Famous quotes containing the words criticism of, criticism and/or program:
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Since the last one in a graveyard is believed to be the next one fated to die, funerals often end in a mad scramble.”
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
