I recently created a Flying Blue account and found a great redemption opportunity for a family trip from the US to Europe. I placed tickets on hold and initiated point transfers (around 230K total) from two credit card programs. One transfer went through तुरंत, while the other is still pending.
Afterward, I came across several reports of new Flying Blue accounts being flagged for fraud after receiving transferred points, especially if the account has no prior flight activity. This has made me concerned about potential issues.
The booking is in my name, and I’m traveling along with my spouse and children, although they have different last names. I’m unsure how often these fraud flags actually happen, whether issues typically arise immediately or after booking, and what happens to the points if an account gets restricted.
I’m also wondering if there are any steps I can take now to reduce the risk, such as verifying my identity, adding documents, earning activity on the account, or deciding whether to proceed with partial booking versus waiting for all points to transfer.
Any insights, experiences, or advice on how to avoid complications would be greatly appreciated.
