JAL Miles × Point Activity: Up to 88% via Moppy Direct

Strategy by theme Published:2026-05-30 10 min read

The modern JAL miler's strategy

Compared to ANA milers, JAL milers benefit from "well-developed direct conversion routes." Moppy converts directly to JAL miles at a normal 80%, rising to 88% during Dream Campaigns. 100,000 yen of point-activity earnings turns into 80,000–88,000 miles.

What the JAL Dream Campaign really is

The JAL Dream Campaign is a boosted-conversion window for Moppy → JAL miles held 4–6 times a year. The normal 80% rises to 88%, so 100,000 yen of earnings turns from 80,000 → 88,000 miles = 8,000 extra miles (roughly a 40,000–60,000-yen difference in award-ticket value).

Each runs a limited 1–2 weeks. Accumulate off-window, convert intensively during Dream — that's the royal road.

Routes via other sites

  • Hapitas → PeX → JAL miles: effectively 75%
  • Gendama → JAL miles direct: 50–70%
  • Pointtown → JAL miles direct: 50–80%

In the end, Moppy is the strongest for JAL milers.

A plan for 50,000 miles a year

50,000 JAL miles a year = about 60,000 yen of point-activity earnings (at Dream's 88%). A 5,000-yen-a-month pace is realistic.

  • 1 credit card per month → 8,000–12,000 yen/month
  • 1–2 video trials per month → 2,000–4,000 yen/month
  • FX offers 6 times a year → 10,000–20,000 yen/month equivalent
  • Via Rakuten Ichiba → 500–1,000 yen/month

Total: 15,000–30,000 yen/month = 180,000–360,000 yen/year = 140,000–290,000 miles. A round trip to Hawaii for a family of four comes within range.
