Garuda Indonesia
Been waiting for 1 Sep switchover to make a booking with Garuda. SAS not showing as an option yet when adding FF card … is it fine to book and add later for Elite Plus status recognition, or hold off until they update their systems?

I must have been jetlagged while writing it because it doesn't make mutch sence to me now, except that's how it looks on the linier caunter in the AF/KL app going from Gold to Plat.
It has been updated in my post.

SK has not even added GA as a partner. Something may be happening behind the scene. I wouldn't be surprised if they have not reached an agreement.

My SAS app is now showing nothing on the virtual card where the Star Alliance Gold logo used to be. Anybody else not seeing the SkyTeam logo there?

That's weird. I got the status match and thought I'd have SkyTeam status until at least the end of March. No sign of it on the website either.

I think I need to give the Dutch a bit of time to catch up. it is Sunday, after all. Maybe they're doing one passenger at a time, and "the810" was first
KLM light economy wants to charge me to add a check-in bag and to pick a seat. Adding my EBG number on the KLM website saves ok but then appears to be deleted when I go back in to check. SAS website (thanks to the tip above!) correctly shows my EBG number attached to the booking. I'm assuming in a day or two the KLM website will show my status privileges.
(As an aside, trying to add the Eurobonus number on the iOS app requires one to paste the value in, as it requires the "EBS/G" text first but only gives a number pad for input.)
