You may have noticed that being a JGC (JAL Global Club) member makes things rather complicated. While checking the JMB program conditions for OW Ruby, I noticed some other additional comments / corrections needed for the Sapphire chart:


Miles / KM / points need for status [Year / 12 Month]
50k / 50seg + 15k + 4 JAL flights (for JMB Sapphire qualification)
20K / 30seg + 10K + 4 JAL flights if JGC member

Miles / KM / Points need for requalification
50k / 50seg + 15k + 4 JAL flights (for JMB Sapphire qualification)
20K / 30seg + 10K + 4 JAL flights if JGC member

% Bonus for Elite:
All items below on JAL flights only:
100% - if with full JMB Sapphire qualifications
50% - if JGC member AND JMB Crystal
25% - if JGC member BUT not JMB Crystal, AND flyon points are more than 20K but less than 30K


It seems very much that JGC is like a "premium version" of the JMB program; it may make information easier to arrange if a separate column in each of the OW Sapphire / Ruby charts is made for JGC membership.
