Amex Membership Rewards has just rolled out its newest airline points transfer bonus, which I’m sure many members will find to be valuable (I certainly do, and will be moving over lots of points). I’d consider this to be more useful than the 20% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy.

Flying Blue's hidden calendar seems buggy lately and not working 50% of the time. Coincidentially started acting up right when Tiffany joined.
Better than Chase's 20% bonus last month - looking at some bookings for next year, so happy to see this.
Can you comment on how much better the reward availability is for FB platinums? Is it a little better ? A lot better? More saver cities or just more seats per flight? Better but not quite saver-level pricing vs 375k per flight? As one on the path from FB gold -> platinum currently, I'm curious...
I'm FB Plat. I can see tons of saver award space that my spouse (FB Silver) doesn't see. Award space got lousy for a while last year before they made the change, but it's been great since then.
The problem is that transfers are NOT working right now from Amex => FB. Both online and calling results in a quick point deduction and then the points re-appearing in my MR account. Nothing shows in history. Of course, Amex has no idea why it would not be working.
Only Amex could be so LAME as to kick off a promo and then have the plumbing not working correctly.
Did anyone figure out if you status match to gold and then get the credit card if the sign up XPs help you push to Platinum?
Also check your USA Amex Plat offers. I just got a spend $1,000 get 20,000 MR points on Flying Blue (AF/KLM)
Same here; the transfer never goes through; the points are still in my MR account as well.
I tried to transfer yesterday and got this exact scenario. tried again today and all works perfectly...
