I would think that me transferring points through a PRIVATE API between AirFrance and AMEX would legitimize my account somewhat. But, I guess not.

And, what's actually nice about their Terms and Conditions, is that they do NOT mandate arbitration. I guess that's because they're European. So, I can go to small claims court. Though, it's possible the amount is too high for small claims court.

It really is a pity you didn't post here BEFORE doing this.
We have had many such reports over the years; it's FB policy (apparently) not to allow tickets to be booked from accounts which have never earned miles from flying.
Transfers into FB can never be undone; it's one way only. The allegation of "fraud" is of no consequence with regard to being able to undo a transfer.
Good luck and keep us informed!

I think it DOES have a lot to do with AMEX. Namely, using the MR points is one of the chief reasons I pay annually for my Amex card. If I can't use them, or if when trying to use this benefit, you can't do it, and are told by the partner you're a "fraud" that DOES impact AMEX and my relationship with Amex negatively.

Ok.. I'm not an attorney. UCC OR Common Law. The point I was making is that the SUM TOTAL of the agreement, and how it moves forward, isn't governed ONLY by their Terms and Conditions.

Was smart of you to add the hashtags on the 2nd ones, get a bit of visibility from searches. I would be surprised if they don't contact you within 72hrs. Let us know how this pans out. I'm still pretty confident you'll eventually get your miles unlocked, but no idea for the time frame, hopefully your travel plans weren't too much in a rush?
