FOP = Fly On Point = 1 points for international flight/2 points for Japan Domestic flight.
JGC = JAL Global Club, Annual fee based credit card.

JGC Premier is one of easiest OW emeralds to get, isn't it ?

Is this the most confusing programme ever created? Or are they in a transition process where they are not wanting to alienate customers and therefore allowing some lower tier members enhanced benefits just for the first year?
