I've registered for the ANA site as well as ExpertFlyer and I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right places.
This has already been discussed earlier on in this very thread (before it went OT). Please refer to

Or, for those who are more masochistically-inclined, the ANA site can be accessed via conventional browsers -- please search for the relevant threads.

This is for domestic, I don't fly US internationally.
You cannot use SC for this either -- P is the upgrade booking class from full fares (and does not mean much). The relevant upgrade class is O/CS:
