milestone award and airline miles
Suppose I choose to earn airline miles for the stay, do I get the elite night credit in order to achieve milestone award?
It turns out that I will probably have 55k points for 9 nights already. and I need JAL miles anyways. So if i book a cheap night for the 10th night and choose to earn 500 JAL miles (which I normally transfer from Marriott). if the night is 40 USD, i would have earn 400 + 400 points which is 800 points, and then pick up 10000 milestone award. so could i get 500 JAL miles instead but keep the milestone award?
