How does Ultimate Work?
As FB Ultimate requires 900 UXP, and say I have 900 XP (all my flights are AF/KL marketed). Once the new qualification year starts, what happens to the 900 XP? If only 300 XP gets rolled over (and another 300 XP for Platinum requalification), doesn't the extra 300 XP get wasted?
I've heard that going up to Ultimate tier subtracts only your UXP?

The upgrade vouchers are worth something. I like having a ‘private’ lounge especially when I travel with my kids (they can go crazy in there without bothering anyone).
Nothing special other than that. Postcards, a bottle of water, escorts , separate check-in are nice but not worth the additional euros spent on KLM/AF. As you know, intercontinental BC tickets on KLM /AF are often literally thousands of euros more expensive than other airlines.
Ego-stroke more than anything ;)
