## Summary

LoyaltyLobby says a Finnair Plus member with 5,000 Tier Points can requalify for Gold by 31 March 2027 by buying Avios in the 50% off sale through 16 November 2026 and converting them at 3:1.

The sale runs from 2 November through 16 November 2026 and adds a 10% Tier Points bonus on Avios purchased. A 200,000 Avios buy yields 20,000 bonus Tier Points. Purchased Avios convert later at 3:1. In LoyaltyLobby's example, converting 60,000 Avios produces another 20,000 Tier Points and reaches the 45,000 Gold threshold, which is Oneworld Sapphire, with no extra paid flights. The blog says the 10% bonus and the 3:1 conversion stack.

Finnair may restrict buying or converting Avios in the terms and conditions. The post says Gold upgrades can recoup at least 40,000 Avios.

Buy Avios before 16 November 2026 and convert at 3:1 only to close a gap to 45,000 Tier Points by 31 March 2027.
