You really have to fall into a very specific sweet spot as a Platinum for this to make sense. I currently have around 350 XP worth of flights booked for the coming months. On paper it looks interesting because it gives you 70 XP in this scenario, which is basically the same value you’d get if you bought that XP through SAF.

But the new 600 XP cap kills the deal for me instantly.

My Platinum renewal was last month and I’m already at 102 XP. I’ll add another 90 XP soon from non-AFKLM flights. That alone puts me right up against the cap. So the extra XP from this program becomes useless without a UXP.

I can see the value for Platinums who barely hit the threshold each year. For everyone else it escalates too fast. Introducing a cap and an XP accelerator in the same year feels contradictory.
