Transfer from American Express Membership Rewards
If you don’t have the Air France KLM World Elite Mastercard your best option is to convert American Express Membership Rewards points to Flying Blue Miles. The transfers are typically near-instant but American Express does state they can take up to 3 days.
Membership Rewards points transfer at a 1 to 0.75 ratio to Flying Blue. Which means you’ll need to transfer as little as 100,000 Membership Rewards points for a round trip business class flight at 75,000 miles. To put this in perspective, Amex’s own Fixed Points for travel requires 140,000 points and a lot more cash for the taxes and fees for the same ticket. And with Aeroplan you are looking at 120,000 – 140,000 or more points for business class (120,000 to 140,000 Membership Rewards points).
Even with the 1 to 0.75 ratio this represents an absolutely amazing redemption option for your Membership Rewards points. This is especially true for the American Express Cobalt Card if you earned most or all of your points at the 5x level. That’s as little as $20,000 in spending for the business class ticket requiring 75,000 Flying Blue Miles (100,000 Membership Rewards points) There is no way you can even come close to getting redemptions like this for that little amount of spending with any other credit card in Canada.
