What is the "Miles+Points first flight bonus" extra XPs I see in my account ??
I flew on July 12, and i m seeing an unexpected bonus of 5 XPs to add to the (regular) 10 XPs for my JFK-CDG flight in coach.
That extra 5 XP is called "Miles+Points first flight bonus" ...

Is this something new?
For ref, I have a French Amex Gold card that just had its anniversary, and I did receive the regular 30XPs ... and wasn't expecting anything more. I don't know that these extra 5 XPs are necessarily connected to the French amex but the "first time" label is odd (I've had that French Amex for many years)

This :
FB and Accor 'Miles+Points'
you obviously have linked your FB and LCAH account (which we all did here for the ones who are a member of both programs).

I did. The stay has to be qualifying/earning, I believe. It used to be that not all hotels were participating, not sure if that is still the case with switching from Le Club to ALL. Possibly it could also be that some discounted/corporate rates are non-earning.

At first that is what I thought, but no, it seems that this past weekend I took my first AF/KL flight since I signed up for this promo. 2019 was a big rail travel year for me with much less than the usual number of flights.
So I guess the take away is that you can still earn this little bonus in 2020 if you didn't already get it in 2019.
