“Flying Blue members in possession of an Air France KLM World Elite Mastercard ® issued by BRIM earn an additional 5 Miles per € on Air France or KLM purchased tickets, on top of their regular earning3.”

1. For information about terms, conditions, rates, interest rates, fees and other costs associated with the use of this card or to apply, please contact Brim Financial Inc., or click on “Apply” to be redirected to Brim Financial and consult the information accompanying the credit card application. The credit issued and advanced through the Air France KLM World Elite MasterCard® Quick Replyis issued and administered strictly and exclusively by Brim Financial Inc. Please consult the information provided by Brim Financial Inc. for all relevant details.

2.Conditions apply.

3. You earn Miles for every dollar spent on Air France and KLM-marketed flights, excluding government-imposed taxes and fees. If you buy your ticket in a currency other than dollars, Flying Blue will convert the amount at the time of purchase to dollars. This amount in dollars will be used to calculate the Miles earned."

I was expecting to get credited for extra XP for a Delta flight marketed by Air France. I was told by Air France customer service that the XP accelerator only applies to both "marketed" and "operated." The Air France page does not say this.
I think you’re confused at some of the terms. There’s no such thing as an XP accelerator. XP are what you receive for status. The only thing the card gets you is a mile accelerator for redeemable miles.

I have had the card for about a year and a half now. What’s good as you don’t have to use the card to purchase Air France tickets. Just owning the card gets you the mileage accelerator. The only thing that the card gets you in terms of XP is your yearly boost of 30 XP at renewal.
