Point sites for mile collectors 2026 — best JAL / ANA mile conversion routes
Mile-collector basics
A "ground mile collector" is someone who racks up miles without flying. The go-to strategy is converting point-site points into miles via various routes. It's not unusual for people to collect 50,000–100,000 miles a year and turn them into family-trip tickets.
How to read conversion rates
"Points → miles" conversion swings widely from 50–90%. Converting directly is low (around 50%); chaining several routes is high (80–90%) — that's the quirk of mile conversion.
Best JAL mile route
Moppy → JAL miles (during the Dream Campaign) = 88% conversion (held several times a year)
Normally: Moppy → JAL miles direct at 80%
Concentrating conversions during the JAL Dream Campaign is most efficient. Held 4–6 times a year.
Best ANA mile route
With the "TOKYU route" and "Solachika route" gone in 2024, the modern go-to is:
- Moppy → JQ CARD → ANA miles = around 81% effective
- Hapitas → PeX → Nimoca → ANA miles = 75–80% effective
Building the route requires obtaining a JQ CARD (no annual fee).
