The Offer

Direct link to offer

The Fine Print

• Valid on flights from August 1st until September 30th, 2018
• Must book by June 30th, 2018

Our Verdict

Flying Blue just moved award from an award chart to a more complicated system. It looks like Israel and Morocco no longer price as part of Europe, so that loophole is now gone.  You can transfer points into the Flying Blue program from:

• Chase Ultimate Rewards
• American Express Membership Rewards (25% transfer bonus currently)
• SPG Points
• Citi ThankYou Points
• Diners Club

Flights from ORD to Europe start at 21,500 one way without this promo, with it they drop to 10,750. Flights from SFO aren’t quite as good with only the 25% discount but still useful. The main issue is the taxes & fees you’ll be charged (like $230 round trip).
