squeakr - Thank you SO much for your reply! Based on what you said, plus the fact that nobody else is replying, perhaps other FFP’s are not as restrictive as Flying Blue?

I’d like to book a ticket (for myself) using my Capitol One points, but if FB cancels the ticket, would the points just sit in the FB account without being able to use them? Or if FB closes the account, are the points just forfeited (effectively stolen)? Seems like it’s not worth the risk. What a shame.

P.S. – I tried to provide a link to the thread, but the flyertalk system won't let me do it. If anyone else wants to see it, it's listed in the Flying Blue sub-forum, with the title "Flying blue account suspended".
