Japan Airlines Mileage Bank has appeared in the Citi Thank You profile's loyalty program list, leading to speculation that Citi may soon add JAL as a new transfer partner

## Summary

Japan Airlines Mileage Bank is now visible within the Citi Thank You profile under the section for adding loyalty programs. While JAL is not currently listed as a direct transfer partner, the profile section only allows users to add Citi transfer partners (excluding major US carriers like United or Delta). This specific inclusion has led rewards enthusiasts to speculate that Citi is in the early stages of adding JAL as a new transfer partner, similar to recent additions by Bilt and Capital One. No official announcement or effective date has been confirmed
