My miles are going to expire
My miles are going to expire (3,500) next month. Am I correct that I cannot keep them active, if I shop at their online store?
From what I am reading I have to take a flight and/or use their credit card to keep.
Thanks beforehand

Yes. A paid flight on any SkyTeam airline should do it. Just make sure you put your FlyingBlue Account number on the partner ticket. Because it can take a couple of weeks to credit partner airlines, I wouldn't cut the time too close.

The earnings for individual fare codes are still there on the Airline pages

I have been unable to locate those pages for days ! Now I have found them very quickly even starting from the home page. I must have looked at a time they were working on the site...

Not all flights on Skyteam airlines as there are some booking classes with some airlines that give 0 mile in FB. @aakaa : yes, you can book on OK but make sure that you book in an eligible fare (and this is not easy to determine now because all earning tables with the different airlines have been removed from FB website since April 1st).

Way too much classes are non-earning.

the only way is to book it from a physical travel agent and ask him to check the code before validation
Or by using ITA matrix in order to compare with the price you get and guess what you will receive
by experience i can tell you that only flex and business fares will be considered as qualifying , but the prices are so high , that if FB is your main concern book the same trip from AF/KL/AZ with a layover in order to save money and get more miles because OK is not worth such amount of money . Its like easyjet but 3/5 times more expensive
