Marriott Bonvoy and Japan Airlines Partnership
Marriott Bonvoy and Japan Airlines JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) have launched a travel loyalty partnership to deliver benefits to members across both air travel and hotel stays.
This development expands the existing relationship between both parties which already enables reciprocal conversion of Marriott Bonvoy points and JAL miles. The enhanced collaboration introduces reciprocal status matching and mutual member benefits. For Marriott Bonvoy, it represents the first comprehensive alliance of this nature with a Japanese airline, while for JAL, it is the first strategic collaboration with a global hospitality group.
Members enrolled in both Marriott Bonvoy and JAL Mileage Bank will be able to enjoy benefits from each loyalty program simultaneously, unlocking greater opportunities to get elevated membership status and enhanced travel privileges across both programs.
For the first time, all Marriott Bonvoy members will automatically receive FLY ON Points when they link their accounts, without taking a flight. The number of FLY ON Points credited will depend on a member’s Marriott Bonvoy elite status. Similarly, the Marriott Bonvoy status a JMB member receives, will depend on their FLY ON Status.
Basic JAL Mileage Bank and Crystal members will receive Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status when they meet stay requirements. JMB Sapphire and above members will receive analogous Marriott Bonvoy Elite status automatically.
