That is understood - the various AMEX FB cards will generate up to 60 XP's instead of segments.
What we do not seem to know yet is how FB AMEX will deal with AF/KL ticket purchases, which did generate up to 2 level miles / € spent.
In case there is no replacing scheme for this, the FB AMEX will be significantly devaluated.
