Hmmm, I'd been using it for years. Last time was about a week ago. Perhaps my zero mileage balance is a cause?

Do the ANA internation flight awards first and attempt to look for a ANA flight. I always use JFK-NRT.
When you hit the next button a new page will show up with availability for that flight, but if you look down at the bottom of the page there will be a button for Use Star Alliance Member Airlines. Click on that and you should be good to go.

you need to search an ANA route - such as ORD-NRT then when it shows the results for that availability the "Search *A airlines" option will appear and you can click on that and then search your *A route....you need to do the ANA search first before you can check a non-ANA route

No need to orphan points there. Just do an ANA search (GMP-HND works nicely) or use the GreaseMonkey script. I spent a couple hours on it this morning searching out an awesome award LAX-HND-ICN-SYD//SYC-BKK-CDG-FRA-JFK-PHX all in F/C for 4 pax and I have no miles in my account at all.

That award was for an AC mini-RTW. Not sure if he booked it or not as he got a job offer around the same time as I found the seats, but it proves that cool awards are still out there, even if you need 4 seats on the same plane.
