Our Verdict

Below you can find the history for Flying Blue transfer bonuses from American Express:

• May 1st – June 15th, 2018: 25% bonus
• September 10th – September 16th, 2012: 35% bonus

• November 20th till December 15th, 2014: 30% bonus
• May 1st till May 31st, 2013: 35% bonus

We saw a similar 25% bonus last year, the biggest bonus was 35% but we haven’t seen that in a long long time. If you value Flying Blue miles then this is the best bonus you’ll see in the forseeable future so I’d jump on it. American Express are offering a number of other transfer bonuses as well:
