2) Hopefully third-party tickets also earn BB credits

Last information given by BlueBiz agent on phone in France: BlueCredits are delivered on your account only at the end of the next month after your flight.
So if you fly between october 1 and 31, you earn blue credits on november 30, not before.
I told him to write it on the website, as I read maximum 45 days

Yes, and it takes an additional month for partner airlines (i.e., DL, KQ, etc.) Even if those flights are one one ticket with KL flights that are added at the usual pace. It's not at the *end* of the month btw; this happens around the 22nd to 24th of the month.
Also fun: it adds the flights before the points, separately. I currently have more than a page worth of flights sitting on my overview with no points. If I check again tomorrow they'll all have points added.

AF follows now BA OnBusiness and other programs, implementing the revenue-based points instead of points based on booking class. Of course, they advertise it as better and more clear, which is totally opposite.

Exactly. I also wrote a post about it few months ago. Isn’t it weird that the formula picture doesn’t appear?
And, by the way, the UK BlueBiz is still earning credits with the old earning scheme (dunno for how long).

My most recent business class ticket gave me 180 points (4 legs). That same ticket under the new scheme would earn 81 points. Literally less than half. And that wasn't even a cheap ticket. It's possible under this new scheme to earn less than 40 points for a business class return ticket. Insanity. I'm assuming that intra-europe €99 tickets don't earn any points at all as (like FB) taxes don't count and those fares don't exceed the €100 that you'll get a measly 3 points for.
I'm not sure what this new scheme is meant to inspire, because loyalty certainly isn't it.

Same here.. used the promo to book 3 tickets for July and August since I expected 300 BlueBiz credits per ticket. Will be devalued to something around 75 per ticket now.
