Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a good opportunity for those who need to add more JAL miles to their accounts. Japan Airlines was added as a Capital One transfer partner last year (with the same 30% bonus), and the only other partner is Bilt. So transfer option are quite limited.
However the standard transfer ratio from Capital One to Japan Airlines is 4:3, so this bonus will get you 975 JAL Miles for every 1,000 Capital One Miles that you transfer.
I always suggest not to transfer points speculatively. As with all Capital One transfers, once you move your miles to JAL, the move is permanent and cannot be reversed. In this case you should also keep in mind that JAL miles expire after 36 month with no option to extend through any activity.
