How can I extend the validity of my miles? Is this only possible by making a KLM flight or can I also do this by booking hotels through Rocketmiles or Pointshound? My last activity was in december 2016 by crediting Flying Blue miles from Pointshound. Is this a valid activity to extend the validity?

Or, if you have a AFKLM AMEX card, and pay with it, this works as well.

For US-based Flying Blue Members I am correct in understanding that the newly offering Flying Blue credit card from Bank of America would avoid expiration of miles in the Flying Blue account?

I would urge caution on this. I have a sneaky suspicion that it only covers miles acquired through other means than flying. See my post on this (post #5 ) in this thread.

"shady" and "fraud" imply a deliberate intention to deceive, which seems to me extremely unlikely to be there even if my suspicion ends up confirmed. More likely to be incompetence than malice.
1) Phone FB and ask for an explicit confirmation of the expiry dates of your miles.
2) wait and see what happens.
There is an obvious potential drawback to 2) so perhaps 1) would be the best course of action to follow.
What is the best way to find out for sure?
