The Amex Offers program has just rolled out a great new targeted offer for the purchase of Air France-KLM flights, which could be worth considering for anyone planning travel. We’ve seen this offer in the past, and I’m happy to see it return, as I always get significant value from it. However, this offer isn’t quite as lucrative as past ones.
Spend $2,500+ with Air France-KLM, get $250 back
With a new targeted Amex Offers deal, you can earn a $250 statement credit when you spend $2,500 or more with Air France-KLM by December 15, 2026. (Enrollment required)
It’s possible that there’s also a version of the offer for 25,000 bonus points rather than a $250 statement credit, and if so, I’d consider that to be more valuable. That’s because based on my latest miles & points valuations, Amex points are worth 1.7 cents each, so I’d value the 25,000 points at $425.
There are some terms to be aware of:
- The flight needs to be booked directly through the Air France or KLM website or app
- The flight needs to originate in the United States and be charged in USD
- While you need to book travel by December 15, 2026, it’s okay if you travel on subsequent dates
- With Air France, the offer excludes Air France Music, Air France Saphir, Air France Shopping, convention services, baggage drop off, group reservations, La Boutique Air France, parking, Stress Free Flying workshop, flight crew training, Flying Blue Store, KLM Jet Center, and KLM Wanna Gives
For what it’s worth, in the past when I’ve purchased sustainable aviation fuel with Air France in order to earn XP (the metric by which you qualify for status), that triggered an Amex Offers deal. So at least anecdotally, that seems to work. Furthermore, taxes and carrier imposed surcharges on award tickets also seem to qualify.
I’m always happy to see this offer available, though let me note that this isn’t as lucrative as in the past. In past situations we’ve seen a $200 statement credit or 20,000 bonus points after spending $1,000+, so as a percentage return, this definitely isn’t as good.
Ideally you’ll see this offer on the Amex Platinum
This Amex Offers deal is targeted, though it’s possible you’ll see it on multiple of your cards. If so, I’d highly recommend registering your American Express Platinum Card® for this offer. That’s because the Amex Platinum offers 5x points on airfare purchased directly with airlines on up to $500,000 per calendar year and then 1x.
Based on my valuation of 1.7 cents per Membership Rewards point, the 5x points offers an incremental 8.5% return on spending. On top of that, the Amex Platinum offers valuable travel protection, should you experience irregular operations.
In other words, if you took advantage of this offer with the Amex Platinum for a $2,500 ticket, you’d receive a $250 statement credit plus 12,500 points. By my valuation, that’s a return of $462.50 on $2,500 of spending, which comes out to an 18.5% return.
Bottom line
There’s a new targeted Amex Offers deal for a $250 statement credit when you spend $2,500+ on an Air France-KLM ticket. If you’re planning travel on Air France or KLM, this has the potential to be a solid deal. Ideally you’ll see this offer on the Amex Platinum, so that you can really maximize your points.
