Source and terms ↗How to receive the welcome bonus
For each half of the bonus, make at least one purchase of €1 or more every month during its six-month period (months 1–6 or 7–12), plus a purchase in the payout month (7 or 13). Missing a month means losing that half. The card must be approved and remain active when the bonus is paid.
The welcome bonus is for new cardholders who have not held an AMEX card, including an additional card, in the past 12 months. Referral bonuses require applying through the referral link. Always read that offer’s full terms. Regular annual XP is separate from any extra campaign XP.

Things to consider
- No lounge programme is included with this card.
Annual card XP helps you work towards Flying Blue Gold status. Gold status and above gives access to participating SkyTeam lounges worldwide on eligible flights, subject to conditions.
The card does not automatically grant Flying Blue status.
Flying Blue status benefits ↗ - Annual XP helps towards status; the card does not automatically grant Flying Blue Platinum status.
- Insurance cover, exclusions and payment requirements depend on the policy. Check the official terms for your trip.
Who could this suit?
Very frequent Flying Blue travellers with high spending who want to maximise XP, Miles and added travel protection.
Judge the recurring contribution against benefits you will actually use. A welcome bonus is temporary and does not change the match score.
