SAS Amex Fly 2 For 1 Voucher: Fly Lufthansa First Class for HALF the Price (2023)

The SAS Amex Fly 2 for 1 voucher is really powerful. Once you get them, they let you book a EuroBonus award ticket for 2 people with a 50% discount. This means you can fly either SAS or any Star Alliance airline for half the price! (even premium cabins like Lufthansa First, Thai Royal Silk Class, Singapore Airlines, etc.)

In this quick post, we cover the SAS Amex Fly 2 for 1 voucher in detail and how to use them.

What is the SAS Amex Fly 2 for 1 voucher?

The SAS Amex cards offer a special voucher called “fly 2 for 1”. When you reach a certain amount of money spent in a year, you get a 50% discount voucher that you can use online or by phone, to book an award ticket for up to two people. The award ticket can be both on SAS and Star Alliance airlines. There are different thresholds and restrictions, depending on which card you have, but in general, the more premium the card, the more lucrative the vouchers are.

Examples:

• When you spend 100.000 SEK with the SAS EuroBonus American Express Classic, you get a 50% discount voucher valid for a bonus trip with SAS and/or other Star Alliance airline flights for up to 2 people, within Europe.
• When you spend 150.000 SEK with the SAS EuroBonus American Express Premium Card or the SAS EuroBonus American Express Elite Card, you get a 50% discount voucher valid for a bonus trip with SAS and/or other Star Alliance airline flights for up to 2 people.
• When you shop for an additional 150.000 SEK (a total of 300.000) with the SAS EuroBonus American Express Elite Card, you receive an additional 50% discount voucher.
• You can also hold both a Premium and Elite card; this way, you can earn 3 vouchers in a year. You must then spend a total of 450.000 SEK, and it is important that 150.000 SEK is on the premium and 300.000 is on the Elite card.

FAQ

• You can use the Amex 2-4-1 voucher for a bonus trip for up to 2 people. This means you can also use the Amex 2-4-1 voucher for one person.
• You can book bonus travel with the Amex 2-4-1 voucher for others; you don’t have to be one of the travelers. However, the points must be deducted from your account.
• You may start your bonus journey from any Star Alliance departure point (and presumably any Wideroe departure point). It is not necessary to start the journey from Scandinavia.
• You get a 50% discount on bonus trips with “Best price.” You cannot apply the Amex 2-4-1 voucher to “Best Availability.”
• You cannot apply the Amex 2-4-1 voucher to a bonus travel promotion (eg Point bargains).
• Amex 2-4-1 voucher is valid for the year in which the voucher was received and for the next calendar year.
• (e.g. if you have received the voucher on 2018-AUG-01, the voucher is valid until 2019-DEC-31.)
• You can travel after the voucher has expired, but the booking must be made before the voucher expires.
• If you cancel a trip booked with an Amex 2-4-1 voucher, you will get the voucher back, provided it has not expired.
• If you have received a voucher and then canceled the card, the voucher is still valid, just as if you had kept your Amex.
• If you book for 2 people, both need to travel on the same flights and sit in the same cabin; for example, it is not possible for one to travel on First and the other in Business on the same flight.
• Both the outward journey and the return journey must follow the logic of the rule “the most reasonable route between the place of departure and the destination”. SAS reserves the right to determine whether the route matches this condition based on normal practice.
• Stopover (staying in a city other than the destination for longer than 24 hours) is NOT allowed.
• Open Jaw is allowed, but you need to pay for the most expensive zone points.
• A maximum of 8 segments per bonus trip are allowed. (1-2 extra segments are “sometimes” allowed if you start the journey from the Nordics domestically)
• You are normally not allowed to pass through a more expensive third zone*. (e.g. when booking Europe-Middle East T/R, you must not fly via Southeast Asia, which is a more expensive zone: Europe-Southeast Asia is more expensive than Europe-Middle East). Some exceptions may occur.
• You have to pay taxes & fuel surcharge (no fuel surcharge on SAS & Wideroe flights and USA&Japan domestic).
• You do not have to pay fuel surcharges on flights with SAS & Wideroe on bonus trips with SAS EuroBonus points.
• SAS has introduced an extra fee of SEK 450 for bookings (which does not apply to SAS bookings on the website) which is paid back if you cancel within 24 hours, otherwise, you will not get it back. However, the fuel charges have been removed, so a bonus trip on long-haul with Star Alliance is approx. SEK 1500-2000 cheaper per person.

American Express 2 for 1: Conclusion

Credit cards in Sweden aren’t as attractive as in the United States. Sign-up bonuses are low, and there aren’t promotions with several-hundred-dollar discounts on flights and travel. However, the SAS Amex cards are quite competitive in that regard, with one of the highest sign-up bonuses and lucrative benefits when flying on SAS and Star Alliance.

The Fly 2 for 1 vouchers are extremely useful and has saved me thousands of kronor in travel, particularly when flying premium cabins. Paying Lufthansa Business Class or First Class only 2000-3000 SEK for 2 people is a bargain, and lets you live the experience without spending several thousand euros.

Booking online is simple and straightforward, and I combine award search with AwardFares to detect and track flights, seats, and cabins I would like to try (that you can book with EuroBonus).

Overall, I’m very happy with this benefit, and I’ve been consistently using the 2 vouchers every year on my SAS Amex Elite card since 2015.
