Why is it 100K AS from JFK-MXP in F and 90K to DXB in F?

Why does RedCard allow credit card loads?

100K RT in F and 65K rt in J for JFK-MXP.  Lucky did a piece on it but no one paid attention bec of YQ at the time. Now there are no YQ. Its higher for one way but possible at 60J/90F. Lucky updated with a post below. This has gotta be the best F class Redemption to Europe(80K spg). Route will be on A380 so showers as well. Not a great connection, but easy jet flies MXP-TLV.

Only downside is the time it takes for an SPG transfer to go through.

Agreed, although mine only took 2 days. Availability is pretty good. I would check loads and be comfortable with alternative dates. This is the case with all spg transfers though no?

Any suggestions as to how to acquire that many spg without buying them ? Especially when you can't churn the cards.

I have access to 4 redbirds and I barely do 5k across ink,Hilton,etc. It would take quite a while to amass 80k sp and that's just one ticket . without amex or target shutting one down. Are people really MSing such huge amounts...
does JAL have a CC that gives miles?  Their website doesn't seem like it does...

Four RC's should allow you to do $20,000 a month. Take a couple of months and get it done.

Just enough to lose your seats by the time it's in your JAL account.

Call me junkie, but I'd rather transfer MR>EK (instantly) than SPG>JAL, even if the latter requires less miles for redemption.

As you said, there are plenty of ways to MS more miles, but there's no way to get back an unavailable seat on your preferred date.
