Update 3/7/24: Available again. Requires $3k spend this time.
The Offer
Direct link to offer (this is the public link, see below for additional option with $100 statement credit)
- Bank of America is offering a sign up bonus on the AirFrance/KLM FlyingBlue credit card of 70,000 miles after
$2,000$3,000 in spend within the first 90 days from account opening. - You’ll also get a bonus of 40 XP after meeting the minimum spend. That’s on top of the standard 60 XP awarded upon approval. Total 100 XP.
- Reports are that if you do a dummy booking, you’ll get shown an offer for an additional $100 statement credit signup bonus, on top of the 70,000 and 40 XP. Some got the offer to show when NOT logged into their account and doing a cash booking.
Card Details
- Annual fee of $89
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 3x miles per $1 spent on AirFrance/KLM and Skyteam members
- 1.5x miles per $1 spent on all other purchases
- 60 XP (Experience Points) upon approval
- 5,000 anniversary bonus miles when you spend at least $50 in your previous card member year
- 20 XP (Experience Points) on card anniversary and an additional 40 XP if you spend $15,000 or more in your previous card member year
- No foreign transaction fees
Our Verdict
Previous best bonus on this card was 50,000 miles + $150. This 70,000 mile offer is probably more attractive given the 20k additional miles + 40 XP additional bonus. And utilizing the dummy booking trick to get the $100 statement credit makes this offer the best ever.
If you want to apply for this card I’d recommend reading our post with all the things you should know about Bank of America credit cards first. We’ll add this to our List of Best Current Credit Card Signup Bonuses.
Hat tip to TheSultan1
applied and got denied/pending without any credit check. Then called them at 888-230-6262 on a Saturday. The agent was very nice. Credit report was then pulled and he came back with a few basic questions. Application was approved with $16k cl. I have opened 4 cc in the past 12 months but recently opened their personal and business checking accounts which probably helped. Got the elevated offer of 70k plus the $100 statement credit. There wasn’t a place to add my Flying Blue number during the application process.
If having this card before, can we get the bonus after “cancelling” or “approved” for this card for 24 months?
Can anyone who has a card write the international collect phone number on the back of the card? Thank you!

Thank you!
Applied and instantly approved. Got the elevated 70k points +$100 statement credit offer with a dummy booking not logged into my Flying Blue account.
I applied and got denied according to their application status checker. Then a week later I got a letter to call them at 888-230-6262 Mon – Fri 8-5 EST bc they need additional info. I’m going to wait a few weeks to call. They pulled Experian. I’m in Alabama.
How to reconsider the application? The numbers on DOC reconsideration are not working and just goes to regular BoA…after reaching the agent she insisted no department for reconsideration at BoA for personal CC and just for business!!
I just recieved my card on Thursday. However, I didn’t receive my Flyingblue number with it. How can I access the Flying Blue account associated with the card?
Did you figure out how to put the membership number into the card, same story here
I applied for a new card without putting an Flying Blue number in the application. I received my credit card yesterday but there is not information about the Flying Blue account. How am I supposed to know the Flying Blue account associated with this credit card where the miles and XPs would be deposited?

Hey I did figure it out. I created an account with Flying Blue with the same email as the credit card application and then called BofA to request them to add the Flying Blue account to my card. After this I just waited to get my first statement, which did reflect the account and now I have the 60 bonus XP.

I tried calling BoA and they keep telling me they have no information about the number as they only handle the financials and I should contact Flying Blue to get the account number. Flying Blue is telling me that it has to be managed by the bank.
Any help would be appreciated.
Is the $2000 spend part of the dummy booking?
Not sure what you mean, dummy booking has nothing to do with paying anything. It’s like getting to checkout page then not checking out bc the offer for a credit card is there..
The post says $2000 spend in 3 months but the landing page says $3000 spend.
The new offer is for $3k spend, previous offer was $2k.
