There are many foreign operators with loyalty programs that sacrifice great value. Japan Airlines Mileage Bank is one of those programs, but it is or is overlooked because it is not a transfer partner of American Express, Capital One Miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards or Citi Tankyou Rewards.
However, with Bilt Rewards recently adding a Mile Bank as its new Transfer Party 1: 1, it is now much easier to win miles to exchange in Japan Airlines and its partner airlines.
Here is why you should pay attention to the mileage bank.

How to win miles of mileage of mileage from Japan Airlines
There are many ways to win miles from Japan Airlines, both through flying and expenses.
GAN MILLAGA MILES IN THE BANK FLYING
Japan Airlines is a member of Oneworld Alliance, which includes members such as American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Qantas and British Airways. The airline is also associated with other non -Alliance airlines, including Air France, Emirates, Korean Air and Hawaiian Airlines.
You can win miles proving your income from Japan Airlines, Oneworld and other flights associated with your mile bank account. See the partner’s profit site and look at your airline and rate class to see how many miles you will win. For example, most economic rates in American Airlines earn between 30% and 50% of flown miles.
If it flies with a cheap rate and has no status with American, accreditation to Japan Airlines (even the reduced ear rate) could make sense.
