KIXman, thank for the heads up. I just noticed, I might change some things again, to get it better.

I have updated the overview.

I have updated the overview with S7 and the data I found on the web.

I searched for t&c but found only the ones in Russian Language; I am not sure about validty of miles and if you do not need four flight on S7 for (re)qualification beside the S7 only flights requirement.

Thanks for S7 update ^

I see RJ still not offering elite bonus.

AirBerlin joined Oneworld Alliance this week and Malev is grounded since a couple of weeks now, so it was time for another update.

As usual available on my homepage (http://www.hotels-and-travel.de/ffp/...w_sapphire.htm).

Let me know in this thread, if anything is wrong or I have forgotten something.

Hi FLYGVA,

Please update JAL to show the new stricter requirements for status, and also to show that JGC Crystal and plain JGC members are OW Sapphire:

Miles / KM / points need for status [Year / 12 Month]
[50 k pts. including 25k pts on JAL flights, or 50seg + 15k pts. including 25 seg on JAL flights (JMB/JGC Sapphire)
[30 k pts. including 15k pts on JAL flights, or 30seg + 10k pts. including 15 seg on JAL flights (JGC Crystal)
Automatic OW Sapphire Status if JGC member

Miles / KM / Points need for requalification
[50 k pts. including 25k pts on JAL flights, or 50seg + 15k pts. including 25 seg on JAL flights (JMB/JGC Sapphire)
[30 k pts. including 15k pts on JAL flights, or 30seg + 10k pts. including 15 seg on JAL flights (JGC Crystal)
Automatic OW Sapphire Status if JGC member

Also for upgrade domestic / international benefits, JAL is completely removing the upgrade points program, so instead we have the following:
Domestic:
4k pts for 6 coupons

International:
none

Like for the Emerald Status last weekend, I have now updated the the Sapphire Status with the addition of MH. I added also the Finnair Lifetime status and the adjustments to the upgrade instruments.

Feel free to add your comments here or send me a PM if there are any errors and something else needs to be clarified.

Sorry for the delay regarding the last updates, but I have been busy with a new position at work and thus the last update with Qatar Airways is a bit delayed.

The Sapphire Status Update is now live, added QR and deleted Mexicana. I did not find any information about the number of QPoints necessary for an upgrade, since you have to log and holding this status. Since I do not have status with QR I am unbale to get this kind of information. Maybe someone can share this information or direct me to a link here on Flyertalk.
Is the Al Maha Service free if you have QR Gold and it this only valid if flying QR (I think so, but could not really confirm it)

I had also a quick lock at the other FFP but most certainly have missed something. I have also added the table heading at the bottom and did some minor changes on the layout.

Let me know, if there is anything wrong.

I have updated the Sapphire comparison chart with the next oneworld member US Airways, SriLankan and TAM.

The chart could be accessed on the FFP b/ FGP section of my homepage: http://www.hotels-and-travel.de/ffp/...w_sapphire.htm

The TAM information are a still mixed up. If you click on the TAM page on http://www.tam.com.br/b2c/vgn/v/inde...000b61990aRCRD you see the TAM Fidelidade VERMELHO PLUS information mentiong Sapphire Status but the exmpale card has the Emerald oneworld logo. This page (http://www.tam.com.br/b2c/vgn/v/inde...=PagInterna_EN) still has is as Star Gold though And I had asked my sister in law, who speaks Spanish fluently but she did not get any kind of information I wanted, but she is on the other hand not so deep into frequent flyer programs. In so far any kind of input might be helpful (I assume it is Sapphire, but not sure)

Thank you

FLYGVA

Re JGC, sth KIXman might hv left out or changes made after his last post: COS bonus is now for all asia-pac flights =1,5; as opposed to HK and china earlier.

Bonus for elite is 105%, for ba, aa and jal.

And 1 last thing "20 upgrade points + additional 2 pts for every 10k FOP or 10 segments after qualification [1]" is all but gone. Its just by miles. 10000(oneway to/from korea y-c upgrade)-110000 (return upgrade zone asia2 to NA)

[2] If one has once qualified for JGC, one is at least JGC Crystal. The only thing is, one has to pay 5k miles for the membership fee, or accure 25000 fop on any oneworld metal

--> one is at least OW Sapphire. Not necessaily crystal. You wo t get the bonus miles/fop etc

I have updated JAL, but this is still a rather complicated programm

5k miles option is not applicable for Japanese resident.
Instead, Japanese resident have to apply JGC credit card, and pay annual fee.

oops ure right. forgot about that - yes. the program is prohibbitively complicated
