(That would work out to a voucher earning with the old Citi-Jet card)

However, after doing all that, I again clarified with the marketing team (after much detailed pushing) and found out that the 5k JP miles was only a bonus!

Buggers...

Oh well - I guess it doesn't hurt to get more JP miles, but given the fact that I am simply accumulating and not redeeming, it really doesn't make any sense...

But if I'm not earning anything more for vouchers, then I'm not using this card very much - better to reevaluate everything properly.
You only get the 5k bonus once, not per 75k spend
