How to Book Scandic Hotels with Mag Miles (Via SAS EuroBonus)
Your Mag Miles can get you free hotel nights across the Nordics. Transfer to SAS EuroBonus, then to Scandic Friends, and book reward nights at 265 hotels starting from just 5,000 Mag Miles.
Mag Miles don't just get you flights. Through SAS EuroBonus, your Mag Miles can now turn into free hotel nights at Scandic Hotels, the largest hotel chain in the Nordics with 280+ properties across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Poland.
Here's the chain: you transfer Mag Miles to SAS EuroBonus at 1:1, then transfer EuroBonus points to Scandic Friends at 1:2. So every Mag Mile you earn on the Magnify app becomes 2 Scandic Friends points.
That's it. No credit card needed, UPI works, and both transfers are free with no minimum.
How Many Mag Miles for a Free Night?
Scandic uses fixed pricing for reward nights. Unlike hotel programs with dynamic pricing, you know exactly what a night costs in points, regardless of peak season or demand. Since 1 Mag Mile = 2 Scandic Friends points, here's what the math looks like:
| Hotel Type | SF Points | Mag Miles Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Budget/small town (Sweden) | 10,000 | 5,000 |
| Near a major city (Oslo suburbs, Helsinki area) | 15,000-20,000 | 7,500-10,000 |
| Standard city hotel | 20,000-25,000 | 10,000-12,500 |
| City centre (Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki) | 30,000-40,000 | 15,000-20,000 |
| Premium (Berlin, Hamburg, Gothenburg) | 40,000-50,000 | 20,000-25,000 |
| Luxury (Downtown Camper Stockholm, Grand Hotel Oslo) | 60,000-80,000 | 30,000-40,000 |
5,000 Mag Miles for a hotel night in Sweden. That's very doable through regular spending on the app.

Discounted Reward Nights
Scandic periodically runs promotional pricing on reward nights, where certain hotels cost fewer points than usual. When these offers are active, your Mag Miles stretch even further.
For example, recent promotions have included 50% off at Scandic Alta (Norway), bringing it from 12,500 to just 6,250 Mag Miles. Scandic Neptun in Bergen dropped 40% from 15,000 to 9,000 Mag Miles. And Scandic Marski in Helsinki went from 25,000 to 18,750 Mag Miles with a 25% discount.
These offers rotate regularly and are listed on the Scandic Friends reward nights page.

Worth Knowing
Scandic reward nights are valid for two people in a double room. You can also do partial payment if you don't have enough points for a full reward night, splitting the cost between points and money.
Your Scandic Friends points expire 3 years from when they were earned. And since Scandic uses fixed pricing, there are no blackout dates or dynamic spikes. A 20,000-point hotel costs 20,000 points whether you're booking for a random Tuesday or midsummer weekend in Stockholm.
