That's how we got so many OW S members in Japan!
If I'm reading the website right, I just need to earn JMB Sapphire then apply for JGC which requires 5k miles to be deducted from the JMB Account. Every year I would just need to credit at least 5k miles into the JMB account for the JGC membership renewal. This retains my JGC membership which has Oneworld Sapphire status.

Will tryout the JGC program for next year's flights.
