Good to know
The official Amex NL transfer page lists 10 partners: 7 airline, 3 hotel. Minimums and increments vary by partner (see notes). Most transfer times are given as ranges like 4-10 days. Delta has a 750,000 MR yearly cap. No transfer fee is mentioned. NL has no Emirates, Qatar, Accor or Virgin partner. Flying Blue moved from 5:4 to 2:1 on 1 July 2026, per an Amex customer notice reported by Zakenreisnieuws (29 Apr 2026); the official page now shows 2:1. Oddity: on the official page British Airways Avios is 5:4 but Iberia Avios is 3:2. Avios can be moved between BA and Iberia, so BA is the better route. Conflict: a Dutch blog (Apr 2026) said the other partners would stay at 5:4. The official page now shows Cathay 3:1, Delta 3:1, SAS 3:2 and Iberia 3:2, so those are not 5:4. We could not date when those ratios were set. Which NL cards earn MR was not confirmed from an official source in this pass (the Flying Blue co-brand cards earn miles directly, not MR).
