The year of 2008, JAL Mileage Bank announces exciting changes! |
|
|
|
| Starting January 1, 2008, JAL Group is pleased to announce the enhancements to its JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) program. As a result of the upcoming changes, JMB members will be able to enjoy even more mileage benefits each time they fly with JAL. |
|
Enjoy a full 36 months to redeem mileage
Starting April 1, 2008 , JMB members will have up to 36 months to redeem their accumulated mileage! Currently, mileage benefits must be redeemed by December 31st of the second year after the original flight or service date. Standardizing the 25 - 36-month cut-off date to 36 months after the month of initial mileage accumulation offers JMB members far more flexibility in redeeming rewards!
At-a-glance guide to the new expiration dates.
 |
The validity of all mileage earned between January 1, 2006 and March 31, 2008, will be re-calculated under the new rules, which is 36 months from the month of initial mileage accumulation. |
