The miles required for partner redemptions seem to have gone up substantially over some sectors. I redeemed HKG-AKL and SYD-HKG, in J, for significantly fewer miles, sometime last year.

The silver lining is that the chart makes the miles required for partner redemptions more transparent.

I have come to expect constant devaluations in the value of JP miles and also constant downward revisions in the perks of being a JP platinum. Over the past year, I gave 9W just enough business to retain my plat status and shifted a chunk of my travel to other carriers/alliances; not sure I want to retain plat and collect JP miles anymore.
