USA resident apply for AF/KLM AMEX credit card?
I've seen a few members mention applying for and receiving the French and/or Dutch Flying Blue Amex card while being a resident of the US. I'm hoping someone could help me with some more specifics of how that would be possible -- either through a PM or reply to this thread. The SUB is okay, but looking to get those XPs to give me a head start each year. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're just trying to get the 60XP, why not sign up for this one instead?

The card terms stipulate: Limit one opening of account XP bonus per Flying Blue member. i expect this would also preclude receiving an additional bonus by opening a similar card in another country, but it depends how the rule is implemented in the Flying Blue's system.

You need a residency justification and a local bank to open an Amex card in France or The Netherlands.
