If at the beginning of the transition period, your roll-over is 599XP and you win 100XP during the transition period, you will have 699XP at the end of your transition period. To renew, You will use 300XP to qualify, 300XP roll-over and 99XP lost, correct ?
I really hope that no one loses any XP's due to the new changes and it would certainly not be very good for Flying Blue customer relations if anybody did lose XP's.
They also need to clarify for those who are in a similar position (I am sure they will as things develop) how they are going to handle this situation as it may cause people to fly with different airlines for a period of time.
For example, currently my wife gains approx 400xp per year and is sitting at just under 700 with 5 years platinum. When its her turn for the changes to take effect in May 25, she will be sitting with approx 800xp. So as we understand things, at this point she will use 300 of these xp to extend her status by one year and be left with approx 500xp. If these are all carried over as is suggested, she only needs to gain 100xp in the following year as anymore will be lost (only allowed to carryover 300). She is not going to fly with KLM if she is not gaining status points so we would probably use BA for the duration to up our status with them.
Perhaps for people in a similar situation to my good lady Flying Blue should ask her (them) if they prefer their excess xp's to be all carried over or to convert 300xp out of the 500xp into an additional PFL years and only carry over 200xp (in my wifes case)?
