This is one of the few cards (there are only three in total I think) that allow you to earn miles from actually charging your edy by credit card. Usually you only earn miles by using edy. You get 1 mile per 200 yen for charging.
Secondly, by using the edy built into the card, you get the regular 1 mile per 200 yen spent.
Thirdly, you need to subscribe to "ANAマイレージクラブ モバイルプラス" through your smartphone at a pittance of 324 yen per month. This gives you an additional 2 miles for every 200 yen of Edy spend.
The result is that you end up with 2 miles for every 100 yen you spend using the Edy on the card. I bought an IC card reader for my PC (about 2,000 yen), which allows me to use the Edy to make Internet purchases through places like Amazon and Rakuten as well.
Thank you so much. I am totally doing this and buying the Edy reader!
