TK award booking on ANA
Just completed an award booking process on ANa, Narita - JFK for 67,5K miles and $160 in taxes.
Citi to TK transfer took 24 hours. Emailed NYC JFK office; got a reply in 36 hours. Did two forms, sent them a copy of the credit card and DL. Ticket issued within an hour of providing the forms to the JFK TK office.
While I was waiting for JFK office to reply, I called the Tokyo office. They said they do not accept the credit card and require a bank transfer to pay for the taxes. Ridiculous!
