Miles on accounts of minors don't expire if registered with Jetfrieds

berenike · Oct 26, 06, 10:23 am

For people with children who have MM accounts:

I just found out that miles on MM accounts owned by children (2-17) don't expire anymore if they are registered with Jetfriends.

It is nowhere on the website but MM confirmed it on the phone.

I thought I had read this here in the forum somewhere but I couldn't find it. So if it is a double post please disregard...

Also they get 2000 miles extra if they register now.

For info:
Jetfriends is LHs tool to grow addicts like us.

Thanks for the info anyway, I didn't know about that.

My two kids are in JetFriends, and so far, no miles have expired. That said, JetFriends is probably only 18 months old (?) so it might be to early to tell.

They got specially branded JetFriends M&M cards, which the check-in staff always seem surprised to see, even now. I guess not many parents have put their kids in it?

I wonder if they do a silver/gold JetFriends card? I think mine will just about hit FTL this year, so we'll have to see what drops through the post.

"Please note that for legal reasons, residents of the United States cannot currently sign up for this service."

Ouch! That would really help my 3 little ones. Oh well...

No. I was told there are no separate status cards. So you should take the original FTL/SEN cards of your kids with you.

Just to confirm: My offspring received welcome letters clearly stating that miles do not expire and 2,000 extra points for sign-up. Wish I was younger

i dont want to open a loophole, but you can generate unlimited miles with LH until they recognize it.

you sign up your kid through your inviation link.
than you sign your kid up for jetfriends. you kid gets 2000 points, you get 2000 pionts for their first earning of points. and your kid gets anther 2000 points as your "kid" signed up through your invitation link.

if you had 1000 kids....

just a thought

nope that would not work. tried to register my kid at first but they told me that he already has an account with Jetfriends. Also, M&M doesn't have a household account concept like BA does ....
