Good to know
The official Amex France partner page loads its ratios with JavaScript, so we couldn't read them. Ratios come from Milesopedia.fr (updated 27 Oct 2026), the only source with a full French table; treat them as one blog's word, not Amex's. The official fr-fr page does confirm Etihad Guest transfers ended 15 June 2026, and gives the Flying Blue number format (00 + 10 digits). Per Milesopedia, personal Blue, Green, Gold and Platinum cards earn MR. Business Green/Gold/Platinum also earn MR but can't transfer to partners, only redeem in the catalogue. Air France KLM Amex cards earn Flying Blue miles directly. No transfer fee mentioned. Conflict: Voyage Platinum (May 2026) says Flying Blue is 1:1 and that French Amex doesn't transfer to Avios. That contradicts Milesopedia's newer table (Flying Blue 5:4; BA, Iberia and Qatar Avios listed), and looks like a mix-up with the Canada/US 1:1 rate. We use Milesopedia. The NL Flying Blue cut to 2:1 (1 July 2026) is not reported for France; Milesopedia still shows 5:4 in Oct 2026.
