Given we are headlong in the summer vacation season, and many of us we would will be travelling, I thought it would be a nice time to recap the many ways we could earn JPMiles over the coming weeks ahead of us. As the biggest loyalty & rewards program in India, JetPrivilege has moved on from just offering miles for flying, but also added the opportunity to earn miles for tons of other activities as well.

JetPrivilege Hotels

Homestay or hotel, 5-Star or budget, earn JPMiles for all your stays

JetPrivilege has significantly boosted their hotel portal over 2018, and you now have access to over a million hotels which can be booked on hotels.jetprivilege.com. The tie-ups with Agoda, Booking.com and Homestay give access to hotels across the price spectrum.

Expect to be able to find as much of a family-run bed and breakfast in Scotland as much as you’d see five-stars in Dubai. This significantly enhances the potential to earn loyalty points for boutique properties which may not have any affiliation with any programs.

You are able to compare hotels and deals on the website itself and find Tripadvisor reviews as well to back up the hotel. Filters include the star ratings of the hotel, various amenities such as shuttles from the hotel or breakfast and the location of the hotel.

You get to see the best deal being offered to you by comparison from the various portals. For instance, at some hotels, one partner may only have non-cancellable rates, while the other is able to provide preferential terms such as pay at a hotel or free cancellation. You can look at all those features and decide how to proceed with your booking.

Not just that, you can earn 1000 Bonus JPMiles on your first stay booked on hotels.jetprivilege.com. (Offer valid on completed stays until May 31, 2018.)

For LiveFromALounge readers, however, we have a special offer from JetPrivilege. If you register here before May 31, 2018, and complete your stays booked via hotels.jetprivilege.com by July 31, 2018, you could also get another 3000 JPMiles. Go, on, try it out… it’s triple dipping!

Big Families Earn Big Miles

A family that travels together, stays together!

If you’re anywhere like me, you’d be glad you have a big family to add to your JPMiles earning. Back in 2014, JetPrivilege initiated the ability to earn miles across the family and pool them together. Kids between 2 and 11 years of age could now get their own JetPrivilege account and earn miles. Then, the family could pool their miles into one JetPrivilege account from 7 family members and redeem for award tickets for anyone. Remember, you can earn JPMiles for flying on over 20+ airlines.

Co-branded credit cards

Miles for stay, Miles while you pay!

Don’t just earn miles for your stays or travel. When you pay with a Jet Airways / JetPrivilege co-branded credit card, you even earn JPMiles for paying with the card. Remember? If you don’t have one of these, head to cards.jetprivilege.com to select a card basis your requirement. For instance, you have a cool offer on Jet Airways ICICI Bank Credit Cards right now, where you get 18,000 JPMiles for signup, at INR 5000 annual fee only!

Shopping

Vacations inevitably mean shopping!

New clothes, new swimwear or maybe a new camera, it could be any of those or even more. The shopping portal shop.jetprivilege.com has partnered with all the formidable players in the space like Flipkart, Amazon, Myntra, Tata Cliq, Urban Ladder, Shoppers Stop, Bigbasket, Firstcry, Croma and many more to generate JPMiles for your purchases. 5 of you get 20,000 bonus JPMiles through April 30, 2018.

Dining

Date Night with the Earning Might

JetPrivilege provides many options for a member to earn JPMiles for their daily dining needs as well. Open or download the DineOut and Eazydiner app, link your JPNumber once and earn JPMiles for all bookings thereafter. And if you aren’t already spoilt for options, you can book a table or a set menu via delights.jetprivilege.com too.

In a nutshell, there are a lot of ways to earn miles over your summer vacation, and not just for the flight.JetPrivilege has launched the JetPrivilege Scout Toolbar, which is a Chrome plug-in that informs you if any website you are on could earn you JPMiles. Don’t miss out on the many ways you can be on your next free flight! Sign up here if you are not already a JetPrivilege member.
