What is the annual status check?

The annual status check no longer exists. It has been replaced by a personal qualifying period that starts once the 1st Mile or XP is earned.

  • When you move up one level, a new qualifying period starts the day after and lasts up to 12 months.
  • At the end of this qualifying period, if you maintain your status, your membership period at this level is renewed for 12 months.

What is Platinum for 2?

Platinum for 2® is a benefit for the exclusive use of Air France KLM – American Express PLATINUM cardholders, who are also Flying Blue Platinum members. Platinum for 2® allows the additional cardholder of an Air France KLM – American Express Platinum card (which is linked to the primary card listed in the profile) to become a Flying Blue Platinum member. Platinum for 2® remains valid as long as the principal cardholder remains at the Flying Blue PLATINUM level and has both the Air France KLM – American Express PLATINUM card, as well as a Flying Blue Platinum card. Please note that obtaining a Platinum status through Platinum for 2® does not allow the additional cardholder to obtain the Platinum status for life. Obtaining the Platinum status for life is reserved for the main cardholder of the Flying Blue Platinum card.
