20% bonus on conversion to JP miles from partners

JetPrivilege keeps coming up with promotions on JP miles, every now and then. The latest one isn't really a "new" one, but if you're the one that has use for JP miles, then this may interest you.  JetPrivilege is offering a 20% bonus on conversion of credit card reward points on cards issued by the following issuers. Offer is valid for conversions up to 30 September 2013.


The issuers valid for this offer are:
American Express, Axis Bank, Citibank, HDFC, HSBC, ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank, Kotak Credit Cards, Payback, Punjab National Bank, SBI Card, Standard Chartered Bank, Tata Cards and RBS

    Of the above, Jet already has co-branded credit card offerings with ICICI Bank and HDFC. Oh! and it is strange to see Citibank on this list - I thought Jet and Citi parted ways (and not amicably) last year. 

    The other good thing with this offer, is Citibank, Standard Chartered and RBS cards issued in UAE, and also Standard Chartered cards issued in Colombo, are eligible for this offer. The rest of the issuers are only in respect of India-based card issues.

    My view is, that JP miles aren't the greatest points/miles currency in this region. However, the region itself is short on offerings from airlines. Plus individual users / fliers view things differently, and have different uses for their miles, particularly JP miles. See my earlier post on What are JP Miles good for.

    Here are the entire terms and conditions, which can also be accessed at this link:

    Free Marriott Silver status...

    Image
    I think in today's times, it helps to be an Accenture employee. I'm only talking from a miles and points perspective, of course!!! A few days back, I had written about complimentary Hilton HHonors Silver status (with upgrade to Gold in 4 stays) , which was intended for Accenture employees - not that employment was ever verified by Hilton. Now (and I'm not sure if it is just a case of following suit in the spirit of competition), Marriott is also offering complimentary Silver status for Accenture employees. Normally, Silver requires 10 qualifying stays. Here's the link to the sign up page . So, what does Silver with Marriott get you? You can see the benefits for Silver here , and the entire set of benefits for the Marriott Rewards program here , but to summarize the key ones: 20% bonus points free internet access at participating properties in Asia-Pacific late checkout (YMMV) weekend discount of 10% at specific brands / properties access to elite-only rewards some level

    50% off at Marriott in Thailand, for one night

    Image
    Marriott is offering a 50% off for a single night, till 31 July 2014, in exchange for registering for / subscribing to their eNewsletter. I'm not sure what the connection is, but I think the fact that it is for a single night's stay may well be suggestive of promoting Thai tourism, if you know my meaning... But well...its there to be had. I know this isn't exactly an India-focussed deal, but I'm looking at another trip to BKK soon, and I think there could be others who might benefit from this. The 50% off is on the highest available rate. Bookings cannot be done online. Instead, it will have to be done by emailing bookmarriott@marriotthotels.com or by calling the hotel and quoting your cluster code (which is D58) and the voucher number (see steps below for getting the voucher). Do remember to carry a print of the voucher and present it upon check in. Participating hotels are: BANGKOK Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit Marriott Exe
