Japan Airlines Mileage Bank Life Status Points are here

JAL Life Status

JAL Japan Airlines Mileage Bank‘s Life Status Points are officially here. Life Status Points are their new sub-currency that are used to determine your qualification for JAL Global Club. These points accumulate over a lifetime (hence Life Status) which opens up the ability for members who are loyal to JAL Mileage Bank but may not be as frequent of flyers to eventually receive JAL Global Club status.

Life Status Points can be earned not only from traveling on JAL Group flights, but also by using everyday services that are part the JMB program however for most Canadians those poitns will come from flying with JAL (unless you spend a lot of time in Japan where there are many more options to earn poitns with non-flight options) Click here to learn more about JAL Life Status Points.
