Hello all. New to the JAL forum.
I have a question regarding Fly On credit on my JMB account. I'm currently a no status flyer on JL and just have the blue card I've been using for AA redemption award searches. AA appears to have changed their Elite Qualifying Points accrual for MH flights taken on C class tickets from 1.5x to 1.25X so I'm searching for a better alternative plan to put my miles on.
I fly NRT-KUL at least twice a month in C class on MH and JL. Regarding credit for JMB status (Crystal, sapphire etc) JL seems to offer a significant advantage over MH and AA. I say seems because frankly I'm not sure and that's why I'm here
If flying on JL NRT-KUL (one way) I'd get 6659 Fly On points correct ? Are they the only points that are used to gain status on the JMB program?
If I were to fly MH on the same route would I still get 6659 Fly On points?
If the above are correct it would only take 8 round trips to reach diamond status as opposed to 12 on the AA program which is quite significant.
I realize that it takes time to get the actual bonus miles (redeemable) from status on the JMB program but I'm not really concerned about that just the time/points it would take to get Diamond Status on JL.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
