Update 9/17/24: Available again.
- Dummy booking showing $150 Statement Credit + 60,000 Bonus Miles + 100 XP this time so not as good as the 70k + $100 offer.

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.Dummy booking showing $150 Statement Credit + 60,000 Bonus Miles + 100 XP this time so not as good as the 70k + $100 offer.
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 XPÂ (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.

Update 3/7/24: Available again. Requires $3k spend this time.
Please describe how you employ the “dummy” booking for this card?
How soon do you get the 60 XP from approval? Filled the application form with the Flying Blue number, was approved and given temporary card number, but the Flying Blue page doesn’t reflect the 60 XP which should be credited for approval alone!
Search these comments for “60XP” and you’ll see what others have said about it.
The dummy booking offer is still a good one at $150 + 60K points. You’re making a profit of $61 and getting 60K points. I’ve been using AF a lot lately as they’re one of the few airlines still doing nonstops from my home in MIA to Europe, so I totally find this worth it.
This is still a good bonus to do!
P2 just got a snail mail offer – 100,000 points with $2000 spend in first six months.
Snowbird really? I have never seen higher than 70K.
Payton Sorry, posted on wrong thread.
All good – approved after pending / calling the security number in this thread.. used the dummy booking option
is there a personal code or is it a public link?
FYI – the dummy booking method seems to be different this time (points get reduced in exchange for the statement credit).
$150 Statement Credit + 60,000 Bonus Miles + 40 XP (Experience Points)
after you make $3,000 or more in purchases within the first 90 days of your account opening. Statement credit will be applied 8-12 weeks after qualifying.
Plus, get 60 XP upon approval!
I can’t even get the dummy booking to bring up any offers.
I got that as well
Chuck or Will, please make a note that this time, the dummy booking method shows lower miles. Several readers saw the same thing. Thanks Chuck William Charles

Think we should wait to see if they offer the $100 statement credit again?
You can book Delta flights with KLM/AirFrance points. Also, I have flown many times to Spain from Atlanta via Paris for 20,000 points each way. In case you need more points, KLM/AirFrance are transfer partners with all major credit card points programs and you can usually transfer points with a transfer bonus several times a year
