Keep it for some times. They are recognized by AF's partners (esp. lounge dragons) while the new FB cards may not be immediately. Use it as a backup. Maybe I am pessimistic about it, though. But as I heard on Wednesday the pilot annoucing that the flight was operated by "Air France, a compagny member of Flying Blue" instead of the usual "member of Skyteam", I fear that FB expertise will take some time to reach the masses
And Falco, don't worry, I'll follow your advice

They update status monthly, AFAIK, so it may not take effect immediately. You'd have to call F+, sorry, FB, to make them apply the change manually.

Still no miles posted from the past three - four weeks. I hope they credit those miles automatically, eliminating the need to chase down the miles segment by segment.

And since they froze all our accounts on May 15th, we are all missing a huge bunch of miles.

The new online booking feature is great as it shows the other SkyTeam members, too. However, it still has a huge amount of issues from my perspective:
- Trying to book o/w award - does not work as it tries to find a return flight.
- Trying to book a Biz award Munich to Atlanta, it tries to charge 95K miles rather than 80K miles.
- Taxes and fuel surcharges exceed the amount of a regular paid ticket.

As for Flying Pue, I managed to login fine and accept all their conditions, etc.
