JAL Mileage Project 2010 - A LOT more campaigns and elite benefits!

http://www.jal.co.jp/jmb/project2010/ (Japanese)
http://www.ar.jal.com/world/en/jmb/project2010/ (English, US region)

WOW there are a lot of campaigns and extra benefits for 2010! Below are some of them

- DOUBLE elite bonus miles!
- 120% FOPs for JALCard Club-A members.
- First flight bonus for elite and JALCard members
- Extra upgrade points and lounge coupons for elite
etc



Edit: I have posted the campaign details in English (with the help of Google :P) on my blog. Here are the campaigns for JALCard holders, and here are the campaigns for JMB elites.

Edit 2: Double mileage for ALL JMB members. Here is the post on my blog for non-Japanese FTers

Edit 3: English details is up!

Hmmm. Most of these campaigns don't seem like much to get excited about. The bonuses are pretty small, if you ask me. This is nowhere near enough to keep me from flying NH this year (though once I get the NH Super Flyers Card, I'll probably switch back to JL next year, simply because I prefer oneworld over Star).

The only promotion that looks really exciting is the double elite bonus mile campaign.

I remember a few years ago when JAL gave HUGE bonus Fly On Points. I got 18,000 FOPs just for taking a couple of domestic flights. Nothing in the new promotions comes close to that.

Yes they might not be so exciting for Japan region members who get used to all sort of nice campaigns and bonuses. But to me (a US region member), 2x elite bonus miles and the extra upgrade points are enough to keep me excited (too bad I don't qualify for a JALCard )

Edit: PS: I would LOVE to have 2x FOPs campaign, but for current elites only

YUP. It's pretty ridiculous. A roundtrip ticket in K class will give me more than 50K miles. Two of these will almost get me a roundtrip F award to Japan But too bad the campaign ends in May. I really have to change my travel plan if I want to get these bonuses.

You sure you don't want to come back to bank up some miles? Oh wait you still have bunch of them and don't know how to use them

Just remember the darkside NH has the same promotion at the same time too

Why do you keep accumulating miles on your JALCard? Why not just put them all on your SFC?

Geeze, ANA is fighting back...but can they extend the campaign a bit to cover the summer as well so JAL will follow But I think JAL's is better. ALL fares eligible for mileage are eligible for 2x miles while NH's one is not...

I have both JALCard and ANA SFC, but I find myself using SFC more because I can redeem points / miles for stuff using astyle whereas for JAL I have to take a flight to redeem my coupons ...

I wish I could use the SFC more, but our company card is the JGC card

While my personal card is the SFC + AMEX ANA card

Sorry to hijack the thread, but, in Japan, is there any particular benefit of having AMEX ANA card over a regular green/gold AMEX? If I understand correctly, you can transfer Amex MR to ANA on 1:1 basis?

There's a thread about ANA credit card on the dark side's forum. You probably will get more/quicker response there.
