SAS is handing out 500 EuroBonus points to members who complete a short list of tasks in its refreshed mobile app, and the offer ends Wednesday, October 28. Upgraded Points and LoyaltyLobby both walked through it in the days after SAS added a dedicated EuroBonus tab to the app.
The decision is simple: spend about ten minutes on your phone before the deadline, or skip it. Our SAS airline guide covers the practical side of flying the carrier, and the points land in the same account you would use for a future award.
- Reward: 500 EuroBonus points, no purchase required.
- Deadline: Wednesday, October 28, 2026, which leaves 25 days from today.
- Where: the SAS mobile app, under the new EB tab in the lower right corner.
- Tasks: five steps, from turning on notifications to opening the online store.
- Timing: points are credited a few days after you finish, according to LoyaltyLobby.
The Five Steps SAS Wants You to Finish
According to Upgraded Points, unlocking the bonus means signing up for offers, switching on app notifications, trying the Points + Cash slider, exploring your profile and checking out the app’s online store. Nothing on that list requires a booking or a payment.
The writer at Upgraded Points started with no account, downloaded the app, created a profile and finished every step in about eight minutes. That timing includes registration, so a member who is already signed in should need less.
Members Who Already Started Have Less to Do
LoyaltyLobby reported that the author had already completed two of the five steps when opening the EB tab, and needed only three more screens to finish. The app shows your progress, so it is worth opening the tab before assuming you must repeat everything.
That site also notes that no subscription is needed. The bonus points are deposited into the EuroBonus account a few days after the last step, so a balance that has not moved on day one is not a sign the offer failed.
New Members Need an Account Before October 28
The offer is tied to a EuroBonus profile, and Upgraded Points says anyone without one must sign up before the October 28 deadline. Creating the account inside the app took a couple of minutes in that test, which makes it the quickest route for travelers outside Scandinavia.
The same report points out that earning EuroBonus points is hard from the United States, because there are few everyday ways to collect them. A free 500 points is therefore a rare, no-cost way to open a balance with the program.
What 500 Points Can and Cannot Do
Five hundred points will not buy a flight on its own, and Upgraded Points says so directly. It works better as a top-up for a member who is a little short of a planned redemption or a Points + Cash payment.
The slider that appears in the task list shows how the program lets members pay part of a fare with points. Treat 500 points as a small contribution rather than a fare, and do not assume a fixed cash value, since SAS sets that when you book.
Readers who track other ways to build a balance can compare this with our earlier look at SAS hotel stays that doubled EuroBonus points, which was a different route to the same currency.
Check the Fine Print Inside the App
The terms of this promotion live inside the app, and the independent write-ups do not list exclusions or a guaranteed crediting date. If the app shows conditions beyond the five steps, follow what it says, because those terms outrank any summary.
Take a screenshot of the completed task list once you finish. If the points have not appeared after a week, that record gives SAS customer service something concrete to check.
| If you… | What to do |
|---|---|
| Already have a EuroBonus account and the app | Update the app, open the EB tab and finish the remaining steps before October 28. |
| Have an account but never installed the app | Download it, sign in and expect about ten minutes of tapping. |
| Have no EuroBonus account | Register in the app before October 28, then complete the five steps. |
| Rarely fly SAS and see no redemption ahead | Skip it unless a free starter balance appeals to you. |
This week is the easy window. Finishing the five steps now leaves three weeks of margin if a screen fails to load or the app needs an update.
A few days after you finish is the crediting check. Look for the 500 points in your EuroBonus balance, and keep your task screenshot until they appear.
Wednesday, October 28 is the cutoff. Steps completed after that date are not covered by the offer as reported.
How many EuroBonus points does the SAS app offer give?
The offer gives 500 bonus points once you complete the five in-app steps, and it runs until October 28, 2026.
Do I need to book a flight to get the 500 points?
No. The reported tasks are all inside the app, and LoyaltyLobby says no subscription is needed.
Can I join EuroBonus just for this offer?
Yes. Upgraded Points says new members must register before October 28, and its writer created an account in a couple of minutes.
How long until the points show up?
LoyaltyLobby says the points are deposited a few days after you finish, so check your balance after that window.
