  As a EuroBonus member you collect Basic points and Extra points. Your points can be used for new flights, hotel stays, flight upgrades or shopping in our EuroBonus shop.
  
  Earn your points by flying, driving, staying at hotels and shopping. Use your points for more flights, hotels and shopping.
  
  Your EuroBonus points are valid between 4–5 years. They expire at the end of the month when you first created your EuroBonus account. It is also possible to earn Status points that help you reach the next membership level.
  Basic vs Extra points
  
  Basic points
  
  You earn Basic points when you fly on SAS, Wideroe and airlines in Star Alliance. Note that some flight numbers, routes and booking classes may not qualify for earning points.
  
  The more Basic points you earn, the faster you can reach the next level; Silver, Gold or Diamond.
  
  Each membership level has a required number of Basic Points that you have to reach within your personal qualification period (your 12 months qualification period starts the month you joined).
  
  Basic points are not earned on bonus trips or on SAS Charter flights.
  
  Extra points
  
  You earn Extra points from our non-airline partners.
  
  You also earn extra points with certain airlines or in certain booking classes with our Star Alliance partners.
  
  Extra points don't make you eligible to reach the next membership level.
  
  Extra points can be used for things like bonus trips, hotels, upgrades and shopping.
  
  Status points
  
  You get Status points when you apply for selected credit cards. Status points help you reach a higher membership level, just as Basic points.
  
  Status points can't be used to buy bonus trips or any other products or services.
