Conclusion
The Bank of America Air France KLM card could be a better fit for those who really want to earn more Air France miles and especially Experience Points to go after Flying Blue Status. The card also offers the competitive rate of three Miles per dollar spent not only with Air France or KLM but with any of the SkyTeam partners.
Air France miles are valuable for some people and offer several redemption options. I would value them at about 1.2 cent each. So the signup bonus of 50,000 miles would worth about $600 if you want to put a cash value to it. And you get a $150 statement credit through this offer. The card has a $89 annual fee which is not waived the first year, which would knock down the value of the welcome offer to about $660. The exact value could vary obviously, depending on how the miles are used.

One slightly unique thing that Flyblue has is a shopping portal that offers some stores not available on other mainstream portals via Catera or who ever. It’s not always a great fit but if you fly AF/KLM this card is worth it. It also keeps your points from expiring.
