The Hertz deal, so far, is much more expensive than what FB members without AMEX do get. Even applying the one-time discount voucher of EUR30 for a short rental.

I have written to FB days ago, asking for clarification. We will patiently wait for a reply.
Flying Blue replied that "they do understand that I am not happy with a price increase without any new benefits".
In addition, they pointed out to me that as a benefit of the card, my partner now also has the platinum level. I find that not very elegant and it has nothing to do with my remarks about the relatively huge price increase of the card.
USD780 for an FB AMEX card ????
I fear that Flying Blue management have forgotten that towards partners, they should represent de interests of their members instead of subscribing to hollow marketing phrases the truth/value of which they didn't even bother to check.
