I want to redeem an award but don't have enough miles, can I purchase miles through JMB?
No! You can only redeem miles that you have accumulated through various means. JAL does not sell miles through the JMB programs. However there are ways to convert other loyalty program points into JMB miles. But the time it takes varies and you should plan ahead of time.
One option suggested by fumitani is SPG points. The whole process takes less than a week.
