Annual XP posting
Does anyone know when annual bonus XP post? I joined October last year, will the “annual renewal” xp’s be added at the end of this month, together with “spend” miles earned this month?
Asking since the “sign up bonus xp’s” posted mid-month on the day of joining, but I haven’t seen the renewal ones added yet.
Anyone with experience? Thanks!

Thanks again @Storizontal Habilizer
Additional data point for future reference: in my case the XP's posted exactly one year after the first-year XP's were posted - but as happens more often the transaction only appeared in the activity overview a few days later.

FYI - I've just received an email offering a 200 euro rebate when purchasing KLM Premium Comfort. AFKL Plat Amex card if that makes a difference.
It does require booking within a rather short window. Not sure if I'd be able to make use of this, I flew the new PE cabin recently and don't have any trips to North America planned within the next few months.
KLM introduceert Premium Comfort Class in alle Boeing 777- en 787-vliegtuigen die naar intercontinentale bestemmingen vliegen. In de gloednieuwe reisklasse geniet u onder andere van meer ruimte, privacy, premium gerechten en extra bagage.Ervaar een nieuw niveau van comfort tegen een scherpe prijs. Tussen 7 november en 21 november 2022 ontvangt u eenmalig € 200 terug op boekingen in Premium Comfort Class bij een minimale besteding van € 1100 per boeking. Het tegoed van € 200 wordt automatisch teruggestort op uw rekening, wanneer u uw American Express kaart registreert voor deze aanbieding voorafgaand aan uw aankoop.

Hmm... I am very tempted to make use of this offer. I usually book Eco Comfort. The price difference between that and Premium Comfort for the date I am looking at isn't too much (120 euro). I am looking at open-jaw tickets AMS-ORD & SFO - AMS. So with the cashback a 'no-brainer'. However, KLM doesn't offer Premium Comfort on the AMS - ORD flight (operated by 777), only on SFO-AMS. Wondering if it will register correctly if I book Eco(+) on the outbound, and W on the return... the small print doesn't say anything... it is still 'trying out Premium Comfort' even if only upgrading one leg.

Just to check: The platinum card does not offer Centurion lounge access, right? Trying to decide whether to sign up as I don't foresee myself being able to renew my plat with just flying, but 600 euros for 60 XP might make the difference.

no, it is only the regular plat, not the cobranded that gives lounge access
