Will JAL's new status program end paying 5k miles to renew JGC membership on 2024?
Hi Folks, I'm not sure if any of you have noticed the news of the new status program which is going to be launched in 2024? I'm wondering what would the new JMB/JGC gonna be?
One of the attractive JGC benefits is the JGC member could pay 5k miles to renew the JGC membership (OW Sapphire) if the member can't earn at least 35,000 FLY ON Points annually. This benefit keeps JGC members a "forever" Sapphire member on OW.
Will JAL end all of these benefit on 2024? Or, would JAL turnning more like a revenue based airline frequent flyers program (e.g. AA)? The website mentioned the credit card earning, however, the JAL US card is pretty much a "trashy" card makes almost 0 benefits to use. I'm wondering would this make JAL's US based member leave? Or, any other dramatic change would happen? Any ideas?
