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?
It's anybody's guess on what would happen with the new program.

One can only accept it when it's announced.
