Amex Offers 25% Transfer Bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue

American Express is offering a 25% transfer bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue through October 31st. This means that when you transfer Membership Rewards points to Flying Blue, your points will be worth 125% of their original value. To put this in perspective, if you need 18,750 miles for an award ticket between the US and Europe, you can get them by transferring just 15,000 Membership Rewards points.

Flying Blue has also launched a new set of Promo Rewards that allow you to book economy awards between many US cities and Europe for 18,750 miles one way. With the 25% transfer bonus, this is an attractive option for those with Amex Membership Rewards points. However, it's worth noting that Flying Blue awards usually incur taxes and fees.

Air France/KLM Flying Blue has several uses for its miles, including flying to Israel for the same award price as Europe, and booking Delta economy flights between the US and Hawaii for 17,500 miles one way. It's also possible to find business class awards at standard pricing between the US and Europe for 60,000 miles per person.
