that wasn't meant to be taken literally....what i meant was that your savvy frequent flyer would have by now switched to other options....maybe there are still some people who are using the jet privilege booking engine to credit miles to 9w....i actually did that recently....had to take a flight where 6e was the only option....i could have booked on the 6e website & earned nothing or for the same price i could book on the jet privilege website & earned 350 miles for the round trip ticket....i guess i'm just a creature of habit where it bugs the living daylights out of me if i fly without earning any miles on any one of the frequent flyer programs i'm a part of....
It will be interesting to see what they launch tomorrow. I'm sure there are plenty of people some knowingly, many unwittingly still earning 9W miles esp. on CC spends and plenty of people will still have buckets of miles in their accounts - people who are unsure where to spend this.
I'm very surprised that whatever action JP is seeing is incentivizing them to keep this programme alive! I thought they would come out with a notice like... all miles will expire on 31 Mar 2019!

I know what you mean Keyser. I saw a friend pull out the ICICI Jet card last week and I was shocked. He wasn't bothered about it.

Now that JP has morphed into Intermiles, we can continue the conversation in the new dedicated Intermiles thread and I will close this one for housekeeping. Link to new thread is below:
