I will back this up - there is a thread started by myself about this from a few months ago, exactly the same experience. It's just extremely hard for me to get to an AF/KL office. If you are interested, the resolution was putting the reservation on hold every two days until I was in AMS approximately a month later. Booked a transatlantic J ticket on points as well while I was there
