ANA (All Nippon Airways) Mileage Club
ANA Mileage Club is one of the most respected programs for international premium cabin travel. ANA's The Suite first class product is among the world's best, and the program's award chart — particularly for partner Star Alliance bookings — offers outstanding value. Only Amex Membership Rewards transfers directly from a major U.S. flexible currency program. Chase cardholders can access ANA flights by booking through United MileagePlus as a Star Alliance partner.

Best Cards to Earn ANA Miles
American Express® Gold Card
The only major U.S. flexible card that transfers directly to ANA Mileage Club (1:1). 4× on dining & groceries — best for accumulating Amex MR fast.
Virgin Atlantic Shortcut: Virgin Flying Club (accepts all 5 flexible currencies) can also be used to book ANA flights — at just 60,000 miles one-way U.S.→Japan in First Class. That's roughly 40% less than booking directly through ANA. Transfer to Virgin, book ANA.
