I would also have a look at our credit card thread for easy ways to maximize your local CC earn to compensate. As someone who qualifies for GO on miles, I still find my CC earn is now in excess of my annual flight earn.
1st ask for status match with J bookings & show it to MPC.
2nd I highly recommend to apply for Fubon Bank PlatinumVisa or Titanium Master card if you go Taiwan often; HK$5,000 max spend in TWD per month x20 points x12 months = 1,200,000 points = 100,000 Asia Miles in a year for HK$60,000 spending!
