Why it earns its spot

  • +Flying Blue monthly promo rewards make these miles cheap to redeem
  • +100 XP is a real head start toward status
  • +Modest $89 fee

Where it costs you

  • 1.5x everyday earning is mediocre for an $89 card
  • Flying Blue adds surcharges on some partner awards

The Compound Verdict

Flying Blue is one of the best transatlantic programs going, and this is the only US card that feeds it XP as well as miles. The 70k offer is near the historical high. Earn the bonus, keep it for the XP and anniversary miles, and put everyday spend elsewhere.
