Up to 30% bonus JP miles when you convert from other loyalty programs

Jet Privilege has been on a bull run with their miles related promotions. They've had several recent offers for sale of JP miles with a bonus, as well as conversions from other programs to Jet Privilege with a 20% bonus, and two promotions with a 20-30% bonus. Here's one more such conversion opportunity to move points from another loyalty program to Jet Privilege, with up to a 30% bonus.


This particular offer (access it here) doesn't appear to have a validity date. They've used the same T&Cs as they did for their March 2016 promotion for up to 30% bonus on transfers. However, based on those terms, I imagine that this current promotion will be valid till 30 June 2016.

Basically, you get bonus JP miles based on the number of JP miles your conversion results in, as follows:
  • 0-4999 JP miles: No bonus
  • 5000 - 19999 JP Miles: 20% bonus
  • 20000+ JP miles: 30% bonus

The conversion ratios vary by partner. You can convert loyalty rewards / points from the following programs to Jet Privilege, under this promotion.
  • American Express 
  • Axis Bank 
  • Citibank (UAE) 
  • Emirates Islamic Bank 
  • HSBC 
  • HDFC Bank 
  • Indian Oil Corp 
  • IndusInd Bank 
  • Kotak Mahindra Bank 
  • Payback 
  • Punjab National Bank 
  • Standard Chartered Bank (India) 
  • Standard Chartered Bank (Sri Lanka) 
  • State Bank of India 
  • Accor Hotels
  • Carlson Rezidor 
  • Hyatt 
  • IHG 
  • ITC 
  • Marriott 
  • Shangri-La 
  • Starwood 
  • The Park  

As I said in relation to the March 2016 conversion offer, I cannot really comment on the value of converting too many loyalty points to JP, particularly given the transfer ratios. That said, this may be a good opportunity to top up your JP miles balance, or to use any orphan points that might otherwise remain unused.

Will you be converting any loyalty program points to JP miles? What's your driving factor?

Review: Le Meridien Etoile, Paris

Image
I checked out of the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile yesterday morning, and checked into the Le Meridien Etoile, just around the corner from the Hyatt, in the evening after a day's sightseeing. Hyatt was kind enough to hold my bags for the duration of the day (which is a surprise in today's world of terror threats), and I'm grateful to them for that. The Le Meridien has standard and chic rooms as two of their base category rooms. As I mentioned in the introduction post, I booked a chic room on an award. Here's a review of the hotel and room, but not breakfast (that didn't come with the room, and we planned to head to the airport a little early in any case).

Hotel review: Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium

Image
As part of my recent business visit to Singapore, I spent an extra night there just so I could catch up with friends, some of whom I haven't met in over a decade. And because I needed one more stay to qualify for the bonus under IHG's Accelerate 2016 promotion , and also simultaneously earn a few more IHG Rewards Club bonus points under the Book Direct promotion, I decided I was going to spend the extra night at an IHG hotel. Luckily for me, just hours before my flight to Singapore, I was able to get a rate of SG$150++ a night, which is a fantastic rate for Singapore, especially for a booking as late as mine was. However, I had received mixed reviews when I sought inputs from my Singapore-based friends, and so I decided that I would have a dekko at this myself. I had already been in touch with the hotel (even before my booking was done), to check if they were able to offer me early check in (official check in time is 3 pm, and my flight was to land at 9 am). They said they...
