It's confirmed. Husband has (French) FB gold AMEX with me as an additional card holder since he doesn't fly. Our combined spend gets him to Gold easily. From 18 November ONLY award miles for AMEX spend, NO LEVEL MILES. Sorry if someone posted this. We got our letter about 2 - 3 weeks ago and have been trying to figure out what to do. In any case, whatever we do, it involves less money going to AMEX!! And if you read the fine pront in the customer letter very carefully, they are "blaming" it on AF/KL deciding to keep status for people who actually fly...
