Am I missing something?
I joined FB only this month. I was previously Gold Elite with Continental(while living in the US, I now live in the UK) but when I realised that my upcoming Privatair /KLM flight would earn no miles, I decided to change programs.
I have currently :
32,475 Available miles
Level Miles : 26,475
Level Flights : 10
Since KLM are horrible about having any relevant information on their website, should I be Silver Elite?
It still shows me as Ivory....am I missing something?
Thanks

If you only very recently passed the 25k level miles barrier, it may simply be that it takes a few days for your online profile on the web site to update.
When I moved from Ivory to Silver, the change online did not happen immediately after I had completed the flight, but it was not too long afterwards. Give it a few days and see what happens!

Thanks for the response!
They really are stingy on freq. flyer info on that website. Since KLM codes all earned 100% on Continental, I was shocked when one of my flights only earned 25%!!!
Hope I can make gold (40k?) as the lounge access seems to be when you get real benefits (lounge access and elite boarding on international)
Is it just N and V fares that earn 25% ? We have to use corporate travel and I'm trying to make sure I know when I'm getting.........

Information on all the FB partners, including earning possibilities on KLM itself, should be available on this search engine (although I am sure it is riddled with inaccuracies). N and V earn 25% on KLM.
With FB you can also get status by number of segments flown (usually the only way I ever achieve it). Many other programmes seem to be fazing that out. 15 return trips or 8 return trips with connections will get you Gold.
