British Airways flights within Europe start at just 4,000 points one way and you can transfer Amex Points to British Airways and many other airlines in seconds. With 20,000 bonus American Express Points, you’d have enough for 5 one way flights to explore Europe, or two one way business class tickets within Europe. Even if you’d prefer to save your points for a flight at a later date or with another airline, 7,500 points is enough for a one way flight in most of the U.S. and the rest of the world. Basically, you could score hundreds in value from your 20,000 points, or just add them to your hoarding stack, for a rainy day!
To take advantage, you must use the U.S. version of the Air France or KLM websites and pay in USD, with the credit card specifically targeted for the offer. For example, if the offer is only targeted to your Amex Gold, you can’t play with Platinum to receive the bonus. These purchases must be flight only, and cannot be used to buy points, hotels, car rentals or anything of that sort. Just book a simple flight or flights, with a grand total of $1000 or more in one transaction and you’re good to go. Full details will be found when you register for the offer with American Express.

Anyone know a sure bet that they will get this offer on a new card?
Has anyone received the 20k MR points in their account for the Air France offer? I received an email from AMEX right after hitting the $1k spend requirement but no points in my account yet….
