Japan Airlines (JAL) has launched an interesting promotion for its Mileage Bank members who redeem miles for long-haul business class.
JAL members earn FLY ON points for each award flight (elite qualifying miles essentially) and first class lounge access or LIMO service on flights arriving to Narita.
You can access this offer on JAL’s website here.
Here are the eligible routes:
Boston, Chicago, Dallas Fort Worth, Frankfurt, Helsinki, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver

Conclusion
Airlines don’t usually offer promotions to get members to redeem their miles for award tickets especially in business class and hence this offer is very interesting. Earning elite qualifying miles for award tickets certainly is interesting proposition for JAL Mileage Bank members.
Not sure why JAL runs two separate programs that appears to be intertwined?
