Miles on accounts of minors don't expire if registered with Jetfrieds
For people with children who have MM accounts:
I just found out that miles on MM accounts owned by children (2-17) don't expire anymore if they are registered with Jetfriends.
It is nowhere on the website but MM confirmed it on the phone.
I thought I had read this here in the forum somewhere but I couldn't find it. So if it is a double post please disregard...
Also they get 2000 miles extra if they register now.

My two kids are in JetFriends, and so far, no miles have expired. That said, JetFriends is probably only 18 months old (?) so it might be to early to tell.
They got specially branded JetFriends M&M cards, which the check-in staff always seem surprised to see, even now. I guess not many parents have put their kids in it?
I wonder if they do a silver/gold JetFriends card? I think mine will just about hit FTL this year, so we'll have to see what drops through the post.

LH kids programme or regular M&M?
My son just turned 2 and will take his first Intercontinental flight with his own seat and 80% of the full fare this weekend.
Now I want to get at least some miles for his fare and have to decide where to sign him up.
Regular M&M gives a higher sign up bonus, also for me.
However, he will probably not get any status until CY 2009 and I have no experience if miles would expire for him.
Questions:
Will miles expire for minors on the regular M&M?
Are there any other benefits of the kids program, which he would not get on the regular program?
Cheers

I have curious question. My daughter is 3 and SEN, and I think of enrolling her in the Jet Friends program as she loves flying (obviously), and loves to play on the computer.
What happens to her status?

She will keep her status no matter whether she is JetFriends or "standard" M&M. SEN with three should be one of the youngest around. I hope you don't want to make her an HON by the age of 4.....

Actually in one of the many LH magazines about 2-3 years ago they had a story about the youngest Senator. But nothing about the youngest HON...
The big issue for me is that Baby DUF is to young to officially join M&M. Unless I made an error with her age.

Hello,
My daughter just made to FT (Silver) she is also 3 years old....
It did sign up for her account (old TravelClub) back when she was 1 month old ....
...
She got her Jet Friend card 2 years ago.... but she has not got her new FT card yet....
But I think that no status is lost nor any miles.... if you get her FT or SEN..
kooks,
