Update 9/17/24: Available again.
- Dummy booking showing $150 Statement Credit + 60,000 Bonus Miles + 100 XP this time so not as good as the 70k + $100 offer.

- 5,000 anniversary bonus miles when you spend at least $50 in your previous card member year

Our Verdict
Previous best bonus on this card was 50,000 miles + $150. This 70,000 mile offer is probably more attractive given the 20k additional miles + 40 XP additional bonus. And utilizing the dummy booking trick to get the $100 statement credit makes this offer the best ever.
If you want to apply for this card I’d recommend reading our post with all the things you should know about Bank of America credit cards first. We’ll add this to our List of Best Current Credit Card Signup Bonuses.

Post history:
Update 3/7/24: Available again. Requires $3k spend this time.
Did anyone lose their XP as soon as the welcome bonus posted? Strange. It happened the very next day
Met the spend requirement on October 5 and still waiting on SUB. Granted the annual fee hasn’t been assessed yet either
For those wondering, go to klm, choose flight, enter name/dob, skip seats, and offer should be at bottom of the payment page. I got it on first try 🙂
How long does the bonus usually take to post after you meet the minimum spend requirement?
I’ve tried many times over weeks to get an offer via dummy booking. Various itineraries, logged out, logged in, VPNs, etc. I’ve never seen one. What am I doing wrong here??
Please describe how you employ the “dummy” booking for this card?
How soon do you get the 60 XP from approval? Filled the application form with the Flying Blue number, was approved and given temporary card number, but the Flying Blue page doesn’t reflect the 60 XP which should be credited for approval alone!
Search these comments for “60XP” and you’ll see what others have said about it.
The dummy booking offer is still a good one at $150 + 60K points. You’re making a profit of $61 and getting 60K points. I’ve been using AF a lot lately as they’re one of the few airlines still doing nonstops from my home in MIA to Europe, so I totally find this worth it.
This is still a good bonus to do!
P2 just got a snail mail offer – 100,000 points with $2000 spend in first six months.
All good – approved after pending / calling the security number in this thread.. used the dummy booking option
is there a personal code or is it a public link?
