ANA: partner award search
ANA is not allowing me to access searches for 'partner awards'. 
Why you might ask?
On the bottom of the page I find this:
The Partner Flight Award search function is not available for passengers who do not have any mileage balance.
It was nice while it lasted.

Ugh. I just noticed that too. It was working fine for me this afternoon, too 
How much of a mileage balance would be required, I wonder. If it's only any balance >0, it might be worth it to credit some non-flying partner activity to NH just to get the award tool working.

The one time in the next few weeks I need to purchase a fare TG is 4x the Nok Air cost.
Luckily I did alot of leg work in the last 3 days toward an award now booked. Might be a month or 6 weeks until I'm able to credit anything to ANA.

Just to answer my own question: Looks like many hotel chains give ANA points.

Likley for most of us the easiest way.

Got Grease Monkey??
Install this little ditty: http://old.wanderingaramean.com/staralink.user.js
Then go here: https://www.ana.co.jp/asw/AMCTopServlet?type=e
Click on the Award Reservation link on the menu there and then look in the top left corner. You should see a link that says "Click for *A Search" that should take you to the *A search form. You might get an error about session expired. If you do just click on the link/button to the home page and go to ANA Mileage Club again and to Award Reservations again. It usually works but occasionally gets that session timeout issue.
Any feedback you have is welcome.
