BlueBiz and Flying Blue XP
Hello everyone, please share your experience with BizBlue. I have been trying to contact FB and BizBlue Customer service and have gotten contradicting replies.

As far as I understand, when booking, I can only key in one membership programme number, how do I earn miles for both the programmes?

The website states that I will earn miles for both programmes, but will I earn XP for my personal Flying Blue?

Thank you.

Add your FlyingBlue number at the designated box and add your BlueBiz number at the designated box, very easy and self-explanatory during booking.

You will earn miles & XP's in FlyingBlue and BlueCredits in BlueBiz, 1 BlueCredit equals €1 (in NL at least) which you can use for flights/upgrades etc. Be advised that you do earn miles/XP's for flights booked with BlueCredits but not on FlyingBlue Awardflights.

Thank you. Is it true I can only earn bluebiz miles on flights originating from the country where my company is registered?

I'm gonna go ahead and hijack the thread.
are Biz Blue points worth it? And can I just give them to any random person (account)?

Yes blubiz is worth it. It gives you back 150 euro on a return Bussiness class ticket.

On any return business? Over here it depends on how much you spend on the ticket.

Yes definately worth it, you cannot give the BlueCredits to anyone, but you can buy a ticket for someone else with it.

Here (NL) it does not depend on spend, check https://bluebiz.com/en/ for explanation.

Hmmm. Are the BB points not earned based on fare class? That is to say the higher more expensive fares generate more points...

​​​​​​Kind of based on spend, no?

I mean as a passenger.
I don't have a BlueBiz account and don't plan on setting up a business just for that more like if I can just credit any random flight to anyones BB account (while maintaining my personal FB credit) without having to pay by a company credit card, being an employee or so such.

I would be more than happy to send you my BB number , you can indeed credit those to my BB account and you will get your own miles and XP's, with a BB number attached to your bookings, you will supposedly be helped faster in case of IRROPS...

Just kidding of course. This is a gentlemen's forum, isn't it ?

i earned BB points with flights marketed by AF and operated by AY or SNCF, so the operating airlines does not appear to matter.
