Basically, I want to know where to bank one world miles given the above answers. I traditionally put them in AA, but am wondering if JAL might suit me better if I am looking for an award on JAL F to the USA or perhaps trying EK F. The concern I have with JAL is mileage expiring. I am not sure if having a JAL credit card keeps miles alive as with other programs like UA and AA.
