5. ANA Mileage Club

There are four tiers within the Mileage Club program: Member, Bronze (BRZ), Platinum (PLT), and Diamond (DIA). PLT and DIA members can apply for the Super Flyers Card, which provides benefits as long as the cardmember remains in good standing.

PREMIUM POINT / BONUS MILEAGE ACCRUAL
ANA International Flights
ANA Domestic Flights
Star Alliance / Partner Airlines

Elite status is determined by how many Premium Points (PP) are accumulated between January 1 and December 31 each year; elite status is recognized between April 1 and March 31 of the following year. The month after a particular level is achieved, ANA offers most of the benefits (excluding upgrade points and DIA gifts) for the remainder of the elite year as "Advance Service".

Accrual of PPs is determined by the following formula:
(Basic segment mileage) x (Class/fare ratio) x (Route ratio) + (Boarding points)

Booking class ratios for international ANA group flights from Japan are as follows:

                        Route ratios are as follows:

                                In addition to Premium Points, elite members also accumulate bonus miles on certain flights. These, however, do not count towards the necessary PP total for elite status. Bonus mile accrual varies by elite status.

                                REQUIREMENTS
                                      NOTE: Codeshares on non-Star Alliance carriers do not count towards the PP total
                                      * ANA Wide Gold Card, ANA Diner's Club Card, ANA American Express Gold Card, or ANA Card Premium cardholders are exempted from the requirement to have 15,000 PP on ANA group flights


                                      BENEFITS
                                      The benefits that ANA Mileage Club members receive include bonus miles, upgrade points, priority baggage handling, waitlisting priority, dedicated reservations/support lines, lounge access, and more. For full details of the benefits of each tier, please see the respective pages on the ANA site. ANA gold or premium cardholders receive an additional 5% bonus miles.

                                                        Super Flyers Card Member
                                                        More information and card types
                                                        For SFC status to be maintained, no flying is required, but the annual fee must be paid from a Japanese bank account. As a result, this card is limited only to those with a Japanese bank account and credit history.

                                                                                    Platinum

                                                                                                                Same as Platinum, except:

                                                                                                                                    MILLION MILER PROGRAM

                                                                                                                                      One million miles on NH and Star Alliance partner metal

                                                                                                                                        One million miles on NH metal

                                                                                                                                              Two million miles on NH metal

                                                                                                                                                      Three million miles on NH metal

                                                                                                                                                          OTHER INFORMATION
                                                                                                                                                          ANA Card Family Miles program (for residents of Japan) and the ANA Family Account Service (AFA) (for non-residents) allows pooling of miles for AMC members within the same family.

                                                                                                                                                          Some AMC cards come with Edy functionality, an e-money system widely used in Japan. For every 200 JPY spent members can accrue one mile; 10,000 miles can be redeemed for 10,000 JPY in Edy value.

                                                                                                                                                          For Japan-resident members, ANA allows miles to be converted into Sky Coins at varying rates. Sky Coins can be used in place of cash (1 Sky Coin = 1 JPY) when purchasing domestic/international tickets (on itineraries only with flights on ANA flight numbers), ANA tour packages, and other ANA travel products.
