Account rules

  • One transfer, not a test plus the real oneA small test transfer followed by a big one often gets the big one held for days, especially from Chase. Chase transfers into new Flying Blue accounts have also sat 3+ days while Capital One and Amex posted instantly. Open the account early, transfer the full amount once, and ask Flying Blue to hold the award while you wait.Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · checked Oct 2026
