Transfer Times to KLM / Air France from Chase Ultimate Rewards, AMEX Membership Rewards, Citi Thank You Points & SPG Starpoints

Update 8pm PT on 5/24: My 1500 SPG points posted to my KLM / Air France account within 48 hours of making the transfer (Tuesday afternoon).  SPG may do a bulk transfer at the same time for everyone, so your transfer times may vary.

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  I was in Portland over the weekend and had my fair share of food carts, Voodoo Donuts, rain drizzles, and weird people.  But enough about me… it’s all about KLM / Air France today.  Yesterday, Frequent Miler reported that KLM / Air France was added as a Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partner.  This is great news because you can now get KLM / Air France Flying Blue miles from all 4 major points currencies: Chase Ultimate Rewards Points, Citi Thank You Points, American Express Membership Reward Points, and SPG Points.  In this post, I will show you how long transfers from each points currency takes to post to your KLM / Air France account.  This post is a sequel to Transfer Times to Singapore Airlines from Chase Ultimate Rewards, AMEX Membership Rewards, Citi Thank You Points, and SPG Starpoints.  I have always wanted to book a KLM / Air France promo award, so hopefully that dream comes true.

Upcoming Changes to Platinum Destinations Vacations Benefit for American Express Platinum Cardholders

Good morning everyone, I just received my latest American Express Platinum Charge Card statement and noticed a small change to the card benefits.  If you have one of the many American Express Platinum versions, you have a ton of cardmember benefits, all listed on the Platinum benefits page.  One such benefit that has rarely, probably never, been mentioned is the Platinum Destinations Vacations benefit.  By booking a vacation package through American Express, you will receive bonus American Express Membership Reward Points based on the cost of your vacation package.  The bonus structure for booking vacation packages is changing, effective June 1, 2016.
