Include your bluebiz number in every booking or ask your travel agent to save it in your profile. Every week, your blue credit balance will increase after you and your colleagues fly with Air France and KLM or if you file a retro claim. It may take up to 12 weeks for flights with partner airlines.
Ask your travel agent to save the bluebiz number in your profile to ensure that it is automatically included in all your reservations.
It means that each calendar year, members first need to spend 5,000 euro (or the equivalent currency) before credits are added to their account. The calculation is made on the tickets included in the bluebiz account overview within the calendar year (so not on the issue date or flown date of a ticket). As soon as this level has been reached, all eligible tickets within the calendar year will receive blue credits, and promotions will also be applied.
If you forgot to include your bluebiz number in the reservation, you can still claim your blue credits using the retro claim form. You can only retro claim tickets up to six months* after the completed travel date. Please keep in mind that you can only retro claim tickets of company employees. It's not allowed to claim tickets from non-employees such as sub contractors, consultants, shareholders or family members.
*New members can retro claim tickets for flights that were taken up to three months prior to their enrolment.
Retro claim your tickets up to six months* after your flight date and reach the entry level quicker.

In these cases, use the retro claim form to claim the tickets of employees.

Your company's blue credits remain valid for two complete calendar years, along with the year they are first credited to your account. They expire on 1 March. For example, credits earned in 2023 will expire on 1 March 2026.
To earn blue credits in the bluebiz programme, companies are required to achieve a minimum bluebiz turnover of 5,000 euro (or the equivalent in local currency) per calendar year. Once this entry level is reached, your company will receive credits earned on the first 5,000 euro in addition to credits earned on the turnover that exceeds the 5,000 euro threshold. This means that your company will receive blue credits on both the first 5,000 euro of bluebiz turnover and any amount beyond that.
The entry level for the bluebiz programme varies depending on your location, as it's based on the local currency. Check out the overview here to find out what your entry level is.
The bluebiz entry level is based upon your companies turnover in the calendar year. The calculation will be based on all tickets that appear in your statement within a calendar year, regardless of their issue date or flight date. Turnover is calculated based on the ticket fare and carrier surcharge indicated on the ticket, with the carrier surcharge listed as the YR charge. However, the YR-F charge is excluded from the bluebiz earning scheme. The same turnover is used to calculate your blue credits. Any tickets that are not eligible for the bluebiz programme will not be considered for turnover.
All tickets in your account will be displayed with 0 blue credits until the threshold is reached.
Once you reach the minimum bluebiz turnover of 5,000 euros (or the equivalent in local currency) in a calendar year, you'll receive the eligible blue credits in your account.
