Confirm award space on JMB BEFORE you transfer
Transfers are final and cannot be reversed. Open JMB's site in another tab, sign in, and load the exact flight you want at the points price you expect. Come back only when you're ready to redeem.

You can't transfer less than 1,000, and transfers must be in increments of 1,000.
Instant — usually under a minute
This transfer pair is marked instant and typically posts within seconds to a few minutes. Even so, occasional system delays happen — wait until you see the points in your destination account before doing anything else. These are typical times, not guarantees — always confirm award space first because transfers can't be reversed.
Cancellation: cancellation has a fee
¥3,100 (~$22) cancellation fee. Date changes not allowed — you must cancel and rebook.

Points expiration
Rove: Rove Miles never expire as long as your account remains active.
JMB: JAL Mileage Bank miles expire 36 months after they're earned. Hard clock — activity does not extend. JGC/JMB Diamond members exempt.
Heads up: your Rove points don't expire, but JMB points (after transfer) do.
