Summer is the busy season for EuroBonus, and the offers reflect it. A restaurant sweepstakes gives first-time card linkers a chance at 30,000 points, the Hertz 80th-anniversary draw offers a chance at 80,000 points, and SAS has added an insurance partner that pays a one-time points bonus on new policies. SAS also confirmed the largest aircraft order in its history, crossed 9 million EuroBonus members, and now includes a free travel eSIM on eligible bookings. All the details below.

American Airlines is bringing back its nonstop Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Tokyo Narita (NRT) route on March 27, 2027. The flight will operate daily, year-round, on a Boeing 787-9 with 30 Flagship Business seats and 21 Premium Economy seats.

SAS has renamed its EuroBonus Conscious Traveler initiative to EuroBonus ChangeMakers, the program we covered at launch back in January 2024. It’s not just a coat of paint: alongside the new name, SAS also refreshed the list of actions members can take to earn their yearly status, and published a full breakdown of how the program works and why. Here’s everything that’s actually different, and everything that isn’t.

Malaysia Airlines has just launched a new status match campaign into its Enrich loyalty program. The offer is only for Air India Maharaja Club and Garuda Indonesia GarudaMiles elite members. If that’s you, this is one of the cheapest ways to get top-tier oneworld status we’ve seen: $349 for Enrich Platinum, which maps to oneworld Emerald.

We’re excited to announce our newest partnership with AwardHack, a toolkit built for exactly the kind of traveler who uses AwardFares.

American Airlines has launched a fresh AAdvantage award sale, and the transatlantic pricing is the part worth paying attention to. You can fly one-way to Europe from 21,000 miles, and book the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America from 9,000 miles one-way. Reservations have to be made by July 7, 2026, for travel between August 1 and September 30. That puts late-summer beaches and a shoulder-season Europe trip squarely in range.
