So I look what i see is very strong price increase for the Gold card going from 192 € to 252 € per year;
Also the earning by 10 € spent is reduced for Air France KLM spending from 15 € to 10 € ( 13 € from Platinum card) ; It is written it is a minimum so maybe they will propose some promotion from time to time..

- yearly XP bonus now depends on spend!
- 10XP/year for the Gold card, an additional 5XP for each 5000EUR spent on the card, for a maximum of 40XP per year (=30k spent)
- 30XP/year for the Plat card, an additional 5XP for each 5000EUR spent on the card, for a maximum of 80XP per year (=50k spent)
- a very weird benefit of a standard luggage included for short & medium haul on AF/KL for the Gold and Plat cards, but only if the person does not already have an included luggage through ticket or status
- a "PACKAGE FLYING BLUE EXTRA ESSENTIEL" included for eligible Plat cards: miles booster, 2 lounge access per year, discounts on plane tickets or upgrades. Not sure how it works in details, this seems like a FB offering that is comped for Plat card holders.
The new 792EUR price is quite a step up from my current fee (636EUR), if not for Plat for 2, not sure I would keep the Plat one.
do this change take effect in January or from the first anniversary of the card after the change date?
someone knows if some card exist in France like the Gold Credit just to keep the history of the Amex account?
I don’t think it’s worth anymore to keep the card without heavy spending on it..
if somebody spends 50k 110XP is probably worth. But then you get miles… 65k miles with plat…
not worth in my opinion
what do you think?
