GPUs are not currently valid on NH metal. Other upgrades are available via the *A upgrade system which basically means full fare tickets only.

Just flights in certain markets. Based on the NH earning page on united.com it would seem that the JV covers the following: ANA-operated flights transpacific, domestic Japan with an international connection, intra-Asia (excluding Japan to China/India/Australia).
