SAS EuroBonus: your qualification period and points
Your EuroBonus qualification year may not match the calendar year. Check the dates in your SAS account before working out a status gap, and keep Level Points separate from the Bonus Points you can spend.

Before you calculate
Your SAS qualification period, explained
Are Level Points and Bonus Points the same?
No. Level Points count towards status during your current qualification period. Bonus Points are the balance you can spend on rewards. Spending Bonus Points is a separate decision from closing a Level Points gap.
What does the three-month grace period mean?
SAS describes three months of retained tier benefits after the qualification period for members above the basic Member level. Do not assume this extends the earning deadline for the old period; confirm your qualification dates and level expiry in your account.
