EDIT - very annoyed, just noticed that they give miles for stays at Peninsula hotels, and I had a Tokyo Pen stay last year that got credited nowhere because I assumed they had no partners.

Can you buy ANA miles? I can't see that option.

It looks like you could credit a hotel stay directly (ie not doing a transfer, crediting a stay at check-in) but that is a faff, especially given the many Priority Club promos at present that I would be sacrificing.

How about a retro claim for the TYO Pen stay @:-)

I'm planning to credit
- a small SK domestic hop on Jul 2 or (in Q, 70% of flown miles)
- a longer Hertz rental this weekend (50 miles per day)
