Did they correctly display your Award Miles?

They made a boo-boo with the newsletters sent out last week, displaying the level mile amount as the Award Miles amount, and had to resend the newsletter with an apology.

Yes, all the amounts are correct. I haven't received the faulty newsletter BTW.

Month ago I called the AMEX DESK in The Netherlands as I was about to buy the FB AMEX card again. The agent told me I better could wait because the are major changes comming. He mentioned that they are in relation with the FB programm and specially will effect the FB AMEX PLUS card. So I will stay with my Mastercard of De Beijenkorf!

Reduced number of miles to Africa & India
Europe 1,2,3 to Africa is now 25.000 miles compared to 35.000 miles one-way before;
Europe 1,2,3 to India is now 30.000 miles compared to 35.000 miles one-way before.

I wonder if any other changes will be announced besides this and the option to upgrade from voyageur to premium at a reduced fee (and cannot seem to find any information on that..)

You almost gave me a heart attack. Last week, I booked KL AMS-CPT and AF JNB-LHR for 2 in biz @ 60k each (= 2x 30k Y). They are still 60K today.

Perhaps some alignment with the competition is due. AIUI BA and BD (op SA) are 50K in each direction. Until they are 'enhanced'.

RANT: Why, when I click on that link, can I not find my country in the dropdown box? My country for Flying Poo purposes is the UK, and pretty well all other travel websites put this under 'U'. @:-) For the KL dropdown box, I have to look under 'G' - Great Britain/UK.

Positive changes are coming
I have been told by a contact person at Flying Blue that changes are coming, to be announced later this year coming in to effect the beginning of next year (new membership year?).

Let us keep our fingers crossed!

maybe they've been so clever that they waited for BAEC to announce their changes before announcing their own

Someone made a query on KLM's facebook page pertaining to the new T&C and the reply was that all changes are related to the new Amex card and gave a link to the Dutch Amex website:

"KLM Hallo Wei, er zullen alleen veranderingen plaatsvinden indien je in bezit bent van de Flying Blue American Express Onecard. Via de volgende link kun je alle wijzigingen rustig nalezen. http://klmf.ly/pBSNJa

There are no information out in the internet confirming what you stated here :P! I know you are a very reliable source for these kind of info., but you havent heard more like what kind of benefits? Maybe free upgrades vouchers like with Lufthansa :P! (Y)!
