I did a transfer last night before 12AM and did not get the bonus
Likewise and I did not get the bonus but the promo is still active on the site https://www.flyingblue.us/en/discover. Perhaps we need to call them ?
I was targeted with a barely used Flying Blue account. As mentioned below, it’s at https://www.flyingblue.us/en/discover in the “Discover” menu -> “Special Offers”.
Weirdly, it doesn’t show any terms or expiration date or anything, just the text “Time-limited special offer
Simply convert your Membership Rewards points into Miles. Get your 30% bonus Miles”
But hey, I’ll take it.
Thanks for the instructions, I just discovered I have under 1500 FB miles that expire 12/31/2021. I wonder if transferring points will extend them another 24 months/
In my opinion Flying Blue is one of the worst programs in terms of the points expiration policy. Each chunk of points has its own expiration date, and transferring points does not extend its (that chink’s) expiration date. The only ways to extend points expiration are
As long as 1 of the following conditions is fulfilled, your Miles remain valid for life:
– you travel at least once every 2 years on an eligible flight with Air France, KLM or one of the partner airlines;
– you’re a Silver, Gold or Platinum member;
– you make a purchase with an eligible partner bank card at least once every 2 years.
Really not very friendly policy, so I always thing twice before consider transferring anything to Flying Blue.. and do that only if I have a specific redemption.
Thanks, yeah I’m just gonna let ’em expire not worth going through that B.S.
This is targeted…not showing on my account.t
Ah thanks!
how do you use this page to get the bonus ? Still seeing 1:1 on amex side ?
It won’t show 1:1 on Amex side because it is not an Amex promotion, it’s a Flying Blue promotion.
targeted?
might take advantage and transfer some out while it lasts since these come in handy for europe trips
Is this targeted? Seeing nothing for me and I planned on transferring 100k over.
Not targeted this is YMMV
