how to combine points?

My spouse and I each have a Flying Blue Account. We each also have our own Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card (Flying Blue is one of the transfer partners).

How do we combine our points into a "family" type account similar to what we have with British Air Avios points ??
Thank you.

The only way to do this is to get one of the Air France KLM Amex cards if you are an EU resident, I am afraid. Otherwise, pooling is not possible. Transfer wisely; KLM/AF tends to crack down on Flying Blue accounts with no actual flight activity that get big point deposits, ostensibly against 'fraud'.

No need to be an EU resident. Holding a French or Dutch bank account is required though.

Thanks for the good info. It's Unfortunate that we can't combine accounts. It's a PITA to have to book his and her tickets drawing points out of two accounts. We do have a RT KLM flight booked to So. Africa so we'll be getting flight miles as well as the credit card points.

It's a little annoying but I wouldn't call it a PITA, you can add a 'travel companion' in each account so then you only fill the details once.

Remember that a one-way costs exactly half of a r/t, so booking the outbound from one account and the inbound from the other makes it a bit easier to manage seats for example.
