Got my first JAL statement. It was about 3 weeks worth of MS. I’m still figuring out how fast I can churn on the card. The good thing is that the CL clears pretty quickly meaning if you make a payment on the morning of 5/15, thenit should post on 5/16 and you have CL ready to go. Now that I have that honed in, I think I can cycle a lot more on the card next month… maybe even break 100K, so we’ll see.
Thank you for posting. This is interesting to follow.
1. Are you worried JAL will shut you down? $50k-100k spend per month (immediately) seems like it would set off flags
2. Are you doing this full time or you’ve just some unicorn that you can put volume through?
1. I don’t think JAL would shut me down. FNBO though…possibly, but that’s why I read that they are tolerant of cycling, so I’m not that worried. Plus, I didn’t even know about FNBO before this card so if I’m banned, so be it.
2. money orders
Thanks for the update! I’m really glad someone is doing this. I’ve been a mild points and miles hobbyist for over a decade and I’ve made this my first big MS target. Looking forward to more updates!
