Earn up to 1,000 free miles when you join EVA Air Infinity MileageLands + earn up to 1,000 bonus miles per flight

I wonder if EVA Air hired a new head of loyalty as something is definitely up at the Infinity MileageLands program. The program has been extremely quiet for many years and now all of a sudden they introduce a buy miles option (With an introductory 65% bonus right now), they launch an online shopping portal: The EVA Mileage Mall with options to shop online in 12 countries around the globe and they launch a new member acquisition offer.  This new member acquisition offer awards 500 miles just for joining Infinity MileageLands plus an additional 500 miles when you complete your membership profile for 1,000 free miles in total. Simply join by June 30, 2022 to earn the free miles.

Receive 100 Free Miles when you join Japan Airlines Mileage Bank

 

Japan Airlines Mileage Bank or JMB has come out with a new member acquisition bonus for anyone who joins the program from around the world. Now, the bonus won't make people jump out of their seats but if you're not a member of the program yet, well hey here's your first 100 miles if you do join during this campaign. Once registered you'll also be entered to win one of 20 prizes of 6,000 miles. The registration for the promotion isn't the most straight forward. You'll need to click a link to join the program from your respective region in the world and once you have joined you need to go back to the promotion page and register for the offer. I hope that makes sense!

Offer details:

FREE MILES! Receive 2,020 miles when you join Emirates Skywards

Delayed by a year, Expo 2020 in Dubai is slated to start on October 1 and one of the big sponsors is the hometown airline, Emirates. To celebrate the exposition, Emirates is starting to release numerous promotions and this one here is for new members to their Skywards program. Using the invitation code EXPO2020 anyone who joins the program will automatically receive 2,020 Skywards miles and the airline is offering these new members the opportunity to redeem right away with a special Cash+Miles rate of 2,000 mile = US$20 (but you don't have to redeem they right away if you don't want to.) The new member welcome bonus doesn't have a printed end date however the other promotion on the same landing page mentions bookings must be made by September 15 and seeing how this bonus is being tied into the special Cash+Miles rate I would speculate that's the last day to join and get the miles.
