Airline
Royal Jordanian Royal Club
oneworldHUBSAMMLast reviewed Oct 2026
Royal Club is the free frequent flyer program of Royal Jordanian, a oneworld member since 2007. It replaced the airline's Royal Plus program in 2018, and its four tiers are named after birds: Sunbird, Jay, Sparrow and Hawk. Silver, Gold and Platinum line up with oneworld Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.
For most US readers this is a status program more than a place to spend miles. We found no major US bank points transfer to Royal Club and no US credit card tied to it, so your miles come from flying Royal Jordanian.
How to join, earn and keep your miles. Joining is free: register or log in from the Royal Club page on rj.com. You get 1,000 bonus miles after your first Royal Jordanian flight, plus 500 more for joining online. Miles are based on route distance, cabin, fare type and your tier. They expire after 18 months with no account activity, and earning, redeeming, buying, transferring, donating or gifting miles all count as activity.
