Bonus JP miles with hotel partners - in one place

The vacation season is upon us, and there's tons of promotions out there for hotel stays. As I wrote earlier this week, Jet Airways has built a large bunch of non-airline partners over the years, where spends earn you JP miles. However, with the vacations just around the corner, I thought it might be useful to summarise the list of hotel partnerships that you might be interested in, which will also earn you JP miles (but not necessarily points in the the hotel's loyalty program).


RocketMiles

Rocket Miles is a hotel rates aggregating and booking engine that also allows you to earn miles in your choice of airline program.


I've written about Rocket before, but have never booked with them. Jet Airways is one of their newest partners, and you can earn bonus JP miles for booking your room using Rocket Miles and selecting JP as your earnings partner. If you aren't yet registered with Rocket, you could use my referral link and earn a further 1,000 miles in the program of your choice, on your first hotel booking.

Kaligo

Similar to Rocket, Kaligo is an online aggregation and booking engine for hotel rooms. Under the Kaligo-JP partnership, you can earn JP miles for your hotel bookings (you could also earn miles with Air Asia Big, American AAdvantage, Asia Miles and US Airways Dividend Miles programs).


The big differentiator here for me is that Kaligo offers a much larger spectrum of hotels than Rocket does, but seems to have fewer locations (at least the non-metro ones). Kaligo is currently offering 5k bonus JP miles on hotel bookings beyond Rs 20k, and 2k miles otherwise, for bookings and stays up to 31 January 2015.

3x JP miles plus US$ 25 voucher with Fairmont and Swissotel

Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, and Swissotel Hotels and Resorts are both partners of Jet Privilege, where each stay earns you 500 JP miles. Both Fairmont and Swissotel are part of the same group, which explains the conjoined promotion for these two brands.


JP's promotion now is for 3x miles for stays at Fairmont or Swissotel properties. Since a stay normally earns 500 JP miles, this means 3 * 500 = 1500 JP miles per stay. In addition, you get a US$ 25 credit for use at the hotel. Note, that these promotions apply only for a minimum 2-nights stay, to be completed by 15 December 2014. You can book Swissotel hotels here and Fairmont hotels here, under this promotion.

Others

The 3 offers I've written about above are the newest ones. However, there are others - the staple ones - that you may want to consider as well:

10,000 JPMiles when you book your next stay at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz – a member of The Leading Hotels of the World


Double or Triple JPMiles when you stay on an eligible rate at any participating Mandarin Oriental Hotel - up to 30 November 2014.

Triple JP Miles with Hilton hotels - up to 30 November 2014. Note, that this will be a double-dip earning (points + miles), so you won't be eligible for hotel bonus points (points + points).

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
