Price of the Flying Blue - American Express Platinum Card

The Flying Blue - American Express Platinum Card costs €660 (€55 per month).

The Flying Blue - American Express Platinum Card is a charge card:

  • You pay the amount you spent with the card that month.

  • This gives you greater control over your finances, as you do not carry an outstanding balance over to the next month.

  • You therefore do not have to pay interest, unlike with a standard credit card.

You can request up to four additional Flying Blue – American Express Gold Cards at no extra cost for your partner, adult family members, or friends. This makes it easy to share card benefits with additional cardholders.

Earning and spending Miles

If you are a Flying Blue member, you know the benefits of earning Miles. You can use them for things like an upgrade to a higher travel class and paid extra options, or spend your Miles on a reward ticket.

With the Flying Blue – American Express Platinum Card, you earn 1.5 Mile for every euro spent—including on non-flight-related purchases such as groceries and fuel. Direct spending with KLM, AIR FRANCE, and Hertz earns you 2 Miles per euro spent.

This allows you to quickly give your Miles balance a significant boost, even when you aren't flying for a while.

Experience Points (XP)

While Miles are your ‘currency’, Experience Points are your ‘status gauge’. Experience Points determine your Flying Blue membership level—whether you are Explorer, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. The more you travel, the more XP you earn, and the faster you reach the next level, unlocking additional privileges such as:

  • SkyPriority

  • Extra baggage allowance

  • Lounge access (from Gold status)

  • Earning more Miles per flight

  • Priority for upgrades


You earn XP by flying; the number of XP you receive depends on the flight distance and your cabin class.

With Flying Blue Platinum, you receive 60 XP as a gift each year.
