Buying FlyingBlue Miles with AMEX Card and MR Transfer Questions
Hi All,
I am quite new to FlyingBlue, but I have some miles from my KLM flights ages ago and I have an opportunity to get a reward flight. I wanted to top-up my account and I will be doing it two ways:
a. There is great promotion on buying miles at the minute with 75% extra miles
b. I will transfer MR points from my AMEX
In point A. I am trying to buy some points using my AMEX Plat card but it keeps getting error when processing payment, without a problem i purchased smallest number using VISA, just to try it and went through. Is there a limitation on buying miles with AMEX?
in point B. I tried to connect my account unsuccessfully for two days now and I still cannot add Flyingpoint account to my AMEX website to transfer MR points, are you guys aware of any problems?
Thanks,
Daniel

Just in case anybody had similar problems:
There is an issue on AMEX website with adding flyingblue account, you need to contact MR Services and they will do the transfer over the phone.
As for buying points with AMEX, that also works correctly now.
