KLM Flying Dutchman - Points for Taxes

Hi All
End of last year I bought a bunch of flights from BHX to KBP for the family and instead of paying the +/-800 euros in taxes, departed with 120,000 points instead (4 x 2(legs) x return). I had not seen this advertised and only found it thru speaking to KLM direct. I thought this allowed me to squander points (free) without using my points as normal 'paying' for the flight more or less thru taxes...
My question is; are they still doing it? I know it was only good for European flights...

Yes they are.
