JAL Mileage Bank 25 for 251

JAL Mileage Bank multi-city for JetBlue: A cheaper path to 25 for 25

JetBlue got a lot of press for the 25 for 25 promotion over the summer when the promotion launched. At the time, I wrote about how I planned to use around 600K Amex Membership Rewards points to book the lion’s share of the necessary flights (to about 20 destinations) for my family of four. Then, last month, Capital One launched a new transfer partner: Japan Airlines Mileage Bank (and they immediately offered a transfer bonus). A couple of readers pointed out that Japan Airlines Mileage Bank could be a far more efficient way to meet the JetBlue 25 for 25 promotion requirements. They weren’t wrong: you can complete JetBlue’s 25 for 25 promotion for far fewer points with Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, provided that the flights book into a Blue fare class and you can get your TrueBlue number attached.
