Yep, read through that whole super concerning thread. Transfer was only 53,000.

Now in limbo today, as the MR have been credited back into my AMEX account, but Air France reservation still intact. On my activity page, it shows the MR being credited to my FB account, then being used for the flight. The seat I selected is marked as occupied on expertflyer.

Just no idea why the MR are back in my AMEX account. My AF flight is "confirmed" on my FB page and I have a PNR. Per the thread you linked, the issue was not them "cancelling the ticket" but rather refusing to allow booking after MR's were transfered.
