Breaking news: Jet announces new redemption structure
A week back, I had written about the changes to the JP program as far as earnings went, which took effect on 1 August 2014. The changes they made were effectively simplifying the program to some extent, and highly beneficial to JP members.
Jet has now announced a new redemption structure that will apply from 1 September 2014.
In general, the number of miles have gone up for most segments, but they have removed all other charges except applicable airport and departure fees, and other statutory taxes. Therefore, one could consider the increase in miles required as being quite reasonable, and as an offset to paying surcharges, etc. [Temporary update: I randomly checked the costs for a few dates, but either the new mileage redemption requirements, or the cash component of surcharges, etc, have not been updated so far. I do hope this is a temporary glitch]
You can view the new requirements here.
It was also reported earlier that a 11:1 ratio will be established, but based on some quick checks at random, this ratio is by and large being maintained, though there are some exceptions.
I will soon update this post (or write a new one) with my analysis of the changes, so do look out for that.
