Get a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer Capital One Miles to JAL Mileage Bank.

I absolutely love JAL Mileage Bank. Just two days ago, I had a tweet go pretty viral about how I used just 42,000 JAL miles and paid $285 in tax for an Air France Business Class flight on their newest product from CDG to JFK when Air France Flying Blue wanted over 90,000 miles + $600 in fees. The guide will also point out that you can get great deals on one way flights but *killer* deals on round trip flights. And of course, if you are skilled you can grab First Class or Business Class on JAL itself at 360 days out (you have to be quick, though!)

Importantly, you cannot transfer points into JAL Mileage Bank from Capital One until your Mileage Bank account has been active for 7 days, so create that account right away whether you have a transfer in mind today or not.

Transfers should be instant.

JAL also offers a Round The World award (appealing now that ANA’s RTW is no more), but note that JAL miles “hard expire” 36 months from the date you earn them.

Need more Capital One Miles? We have 5 cards that earn Capital One Miles here.

Remember that with Capital One cards that earn cash back, you can convert the cash back into transferable miles as long as you have any of the Miles-earning cards.
