Help JCI Earn Flight Credits Through Your Travels
In a typical calendar year, JCI spends more than USD $500,000 on JCI
Officers’ and Area Directors’ travels around the world. In an effort to
decrease this cost, JCI is part of American Airlines’ Business ExtrAA
program. When booking your travels, you can plug in JCI’s Business
ExtrAA number,
765279, along
with your own AAdvantage number. You will earn miles and JCI will also
earn credits from your travels. These credits will help reduce the JCI
travel budget. Remember to use JCI’s Business ExtrAA number
765279 when booking your next flight. Safe travels!
