The JetPrivilege loyalty and rewards program is one of the oldest Indian loyalty programs. While it was originally established about 24 years ago to be able to earn JPMiles for flights with Jet Airways, over the years, it has added over 150 partners to be able to earn JPMiles. You can earn JPMiles not just for flying with Jet Airways, but over 20 partner airlines, shopping, dining out and many other activities.
The best use of JPMiles is to redeem them for flights. You can redeem them not just for Jet Airways, but for 20 other partner carriers as well. These redemption flights, which cost JPMiles rather than money, are a great way to make a vacation or a last-minute work trip work out, without spending substantial cash out of pocket. Hence, we collect JPMiles at every opportunity. Especially since redemptions start at as less as 5000 JPMiles only.
The JetPrivilege Hotels website is one such great way to keep adding bonus JPMiles to your account. When you book a hotel on hotels.jetprivilege.com, in India or abroad, you get access to the inventory of some of the best global OTAs such as Agoda, Booking.com, and homestays from Homestay.com. The inventory was recently boosted by the addition of Expedia and Hotels.com to the platform. What’s more, you can compare prices & JPMiles. You can also earn from different partners for the same hotel property you have selected, thus making a more robust choice!
JetPrivilege has been running a double JPMiles promotion, which allows you to earn up to 12 JPMiles/INR 100 spent through July 2018. This is an opportunity to earn redemption flights faster. The best part, you don’t even have to go too far or get a visa stamped to have these miles.
Listed below are 5 Indian hotels, booking which you could get enough miles to redeem for a free flight right after the miles post!
The Khyber Himalaya Resort & Spa
Perhaps one of the best-known resorts in India, located 8800 feet above sea level in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas, is The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa. Spread over 7 acres of a forest, this 85-room resort has luxury written all over it, along with the Khyber Spa by L’Occitaine. You can trek through unspoilt forests and flower-bedecked meadows or tee off on the world’s highest golf course.
Not just that, you get about 7000 JPMiles for staying 2 nights, and if you paid with your Jet Airways American Express Platinum Credit Card, you could net another 1900 JPMiles, giving you enough JPMiles for a trip between Mumbai and Delhi, and then some more. Book Here via the JetPrivilege Hotels website. (Miles calculated on the basis of indicative pricing on June 18, 2018)
The Lalit Resort & Spa, Bekal
Bekal is a small, natural habitat in Kerala, known for its backwaters and proximity to the beach. The Lalit Resort & Spa, in Bekal, is surrounded by the river Nombili and has its own internal lagoon. The epitome of luxury, the spa at this hotel is 17,000 square feet large. They have over 2800 coconut trees around the resort, and the fruits inevitably turn up as you enter the resort, and so does your welcome drink!
Bekal is an anytime destination, and the closest airport to arrive at is Mangalore. You could get 24,000 JPMiles per night here when you book under the double JPMiles period, and that means, you have enough JPMiles to do a Delhi – Bangalore – Delhi roundtrip in economy or even fly between Mumbai and Colombo (economy roundtrip) with minimal taxes and surcharges for redemption.
Trident Nariman Point, Mumbai
If city hotels are your thing, come over to Mumbai for a cup of chai during this monsoon season. Soaring 35 storeys high, the 555 rooms and suites at Trident, Nariman Point, offer stunning views of the Arabian Sea and the five-star Mumbai city skyline. Next door to the hotel is the NCPA, and enough dining destinations in the neighbourhood to try out for a week.
And not just that, this five-star hotel just comes to you at INR 7750 onwards for a room night when you book via JetPrivilege Hotels. You earn a mindboggling 18000 JPMiles, which means, you can fly to the middle east (Delhi – Dubai, Pune – Abu Dhabi, Mangalore – Dubai and many other segments) by paying minimal fees and charges.
The Ananta, Udaipur
The City of Lakes is unarguably one of the most Romantic places in India. Udaipur is a popular tourist destination and is known for its history, culture, scenic locations and the Rajput-era palaces. Set against the backdrop of the Aravalli Hills, Ananta Udaipur is 75 acres of lush greenery, encompassing the best of five-star luxuries. Every room here is a villa and they have over 200 of those! 
Booking this hotel via JetPrivilege Hotels, is not just giving you a room at this beautiful hotel, but also a redemption ticket between various segments such as Mumbai and Coimbatore/Chennai, Delhi and Bagdogra and various others, which cost 7500 JPMiles and some cash for a redemption.
Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad
Perched 2,000 feet above the city of Hyderabad is the Taj Falaknuma Palace. Built in 1894, it is the former palace of the Nizam, who is rumoured to be the richest man in the world at one time. From the moment you arrive at Taj Falaknuma Palace in a horse-drawn carriage, the palace butlers treat you like royalty. Walk the walk of kings through the Grand Staircase to retrace the steps of Nizams, European royalty, enchanting Begums and distinguished Heads of State.
The five-star luxury hotel, spread over 32 acres, is all of 60 rooms and suites, which are beautifully refurbished and lovingly restored by Her Highness Princess Esra, the Nizam’s Turkish wife. Each provides marvellous views of the palace courtyard and the 400-year-old city of Hyderabad.
When you book up the Taj Falaknuma Palace at the JetPrivilege Hotels website, you are richer by about 190,000 JPMiles. That is good enough to get a round trip redemption between Mumbai and London in Business Class on Jet Airways, along with some small amount paid towards charges and taxes! And if you choose to pick this big-ticket amount on a co-branded Jet Airways credit card, you are going to earn more JPMiles for another future trip.
Remember, all the prices shown here are snapshot prices, so depending on your dates and rates available on those dates, it may show up a different number of miles which are more or less than this one!
Bottomline is, there is tonnes of value to be had booking hotels on hotels.jetprivilege.com, and if you haven’t explored this opportunity yet, you should do so now. Remember, if you signed up for our exclusive promotion, you also get up to 3000 bonus JPMiles when you stay by July 2018.
Same hotels are available for lower prices other than Jet website, so not lucrative
Hey Ajay / Shipra
Please let me know if I book stays using this portal for SPG properties, would the nights still count towards my annual nights qualification for platinum?
@Kaizad bookings only with SPG/marriott or a TA get you qualified nights. Noone else.
quite agree with the above comment. JP miles are not flat like shown in some pictures in the post. Plus i have not yet got the miles credited for hotel bookings done and used in first week of May. Those were supposed to be with some bonus (jet airways hotel + some bonus for using livefromalounge). A month and half, Nothing as yet. These hotel bookings have earned me good miles in the past but somethings pretty inefficient this time around i think.
Absolutely! I completed 2 stays in May but the JP miles is not yet credited to my account. I’ve made the booking similarly(jet airways hotel + some bonus for using livefromalounge). According to the T&C, the miles have to be credited within June 5 for stays completed by May 31st. But still nothing happened. I’ve contacted JetPrivilege customer care multiple times, but still no luck!
Ajay,
I made the same mistake on the miles earnings.
So the catch is that while the price quoted is the cheapest room rate, the ‘upto’ miles earning is the earning possible on the hotels most expensive room when calculated at 8miles/100.
Basically what you earn via portal is 8jpm/100 spent flat, which isn’t bad, but nowhere close to those listed numbers.
