Very cool.

I haven't received the mail yet but signing up on the website of the earlier promo this ear works: http://www.fastermiles.com/?lang=UK

Let's wait for the mail which will contain my bonus miles details I can earn...

This indeed works, the mail confirmation just came in:

Flying Blue number : xxxxxxxxxx
Dear Mr IXS,

Congratulations! You are now on a faster track.

Fly AIR FRANCE and KLM between 1st October and 31st December 2011 and your Miles could accumulate faster than you believe*.

Book your upcoming flights now at www.airfrance.com or www.klm.com

Looking forward to welcoming you on board soon.

Yours sincerely,
Isabelle Birem
Director Flying Blue

* Offer valid on purchased flights completed between 1st October and 31st December 2011 on AIR FRANCE and or KLM. 1 flight = 1 flight in either direction. For example, Amsterdam-Buenos Aires via Paris return equals 4 flights. In accordance with the Flying Blue programme rules, certain fares or tickets do not enable you to accumulate Miles or therefore to benefit from this offer. Only members who have personally received this email may benefit from the offer. The Bonus Miles earned thanks to Faster Miles will be credited to your Miles account in the weeks following the flights taken.
So it looks like the rules are the same as last time. Yay!

I received the following offer (with significantly higher tresholds than earlier this year);

7 segments = 4000 Miles
2 segments = 1000 Miles
2 segments = 1500 Miles

Nothing received and I probably won't either.

EDIT: Would it be possible to just enroll online even if you haven't received an (personal) offer.

That's what I did. Went to http://www.fastermiles.com/?lang=UK, entered my FB number and boom, got my confimation screen and the appropriate mail.
It's the same thing as last year: The system has a number of targeted FB numbers and everybody can sign in who is on "The List".

The invitation mails however are being send out with some delay...

So just give it a shot, if you can sign up, you're in.

This is my offer:

12 flights = 7,000 miles
+4 flights = 2,500
+4 flights = 3,000

I have 8 flights already booked (plus 4 more just before 1st Octobr) and I just may get another 4 in - but 20 flights in 3 months is quite a big ask!

Wow I just got this offer, came here to see if anyone else has it, then saw that it goes back to February?!?!

My lower threshold is 12 flights which I doubt I will do unless they include KQ, which they should after all as it is a full FB member. This also penalizes people who mostly do long haul. I could take 12 cheap short flights for less than the price of a business class long haul.

Same name ("Faster Miles") but not the same promo. The original one ended in May or so, this is the second run of the year from October to December.

My lower threshold is 12 flights which I doubt I will do unless they include KQ, which they should after all as it is a full FB member. This also penalizes people who mostly do long haul. I could take 12 cheap short flights for less than the price of a business class long haul.
No way this is going to happen, except maybe if you're on KQ metal which is ticketed under a AF or KL code.
There was a bit of discussion about this with DL codeshares. Look through the earlier posts in this thread, I do not remember the details.

It is my understanding that this is not a FlyingBlue promotion but a AFKLM promotion for _their_ FlyingBlue members.

Received an offer from 1 Oct to 31 Dec today, too.

11 flights -> 8000 miles
+ 3 -> + 3500 miles
+ 3 -> + 4000 miles,

so a total of 12500 additional miles.

What a pity I will not be able to make full use of this. This is a bit difficult when you live in BNE. I would really have appreciated this offer earlier this year, but at least it might well be the case I might end up with 11 segments.

Seems the offer is personalised. Does the confirmation state your offer or do you have to wait for the "normal" e-mail (if any)?

You have to wait. The confirmation doesn't contain anything except a "thank you for signing up".

I got the offer today, and have to do 12 segments to get 8000 points...
Probably no way I get there this year seeing what I'll be flying...

I didn't receive the email but I managed to register through the website. However, I received the confirmation, but it doesn't specify the amounts/thresholds I need to reach to get bonuses....
