Buy ANA Mileage Club miles
There are four realistic ways to add ANA miles to an account: buy direct from ANA, earn them, transfer eligible partner points, or ask us for an independent quote. Buy requests are usually top-ups toward ANA's round-trip business class or a Star Alliance partner award.
How to buy ANA miles
| Option | How it works | Advantages | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy direct from ANA | Purchase through the airline's own official Buy Miles page where it is offered. | Straightforward, within programme terms, sometimes bonused. | Retail pricing, annual purchase caps, and price varies with promotions. |
| Earn through flying and partners | Miles accrue on ANA and Star Alliance flights, Japanese co-brand cards, ANA Mall and partner promotions. | No purchase cost, and flights also earn status credit. | Slow if you need a specific balance for a booking soon. |
| Transfer eligible partner points | ANA supports family account pooling under strict rules, and some bank programmes transfer in. | Can be cheaper than buying, and ratios are sometimes bonused. | Transfers are usually irreversible and are governed by both providers' terms. |
| Request a MilesQuote quote | Tell us the shortfall and the award you are trying to book; we review it and reply with an indicative figure or an honest no. | Independent comparison against the direct price, no published rate to talk you into. | No guaranteed price, no guaranteed availability, and programme terms still govern your account. |
How much ANA miles cost
ANA offers mileage top-up options in some markets; availability varies by country of residence. That direct price is your benchmark. Any third-party figure — ours included — should be compared against it with taxes and carrier-imposed surcharges included, not against the headline award price alone.
Run the arithmetic before committing with the miles vs cash calculator, which compares the full award total against the cash fare.
How ANA Mileage Club awards are priced
Redemptions cover ANA flights with seasonal award pricing, Star Alliance partner awards, and the distance-based round-the-world award.
ANA's seasonal chart means the same round-trip can vary in miles by travel date, which is central to any valuation.
When buying miles makes sense
- You have already found award space on your exact dates.
- You are short by a modest amount and only need to buy the shortfall.
- The award is a premium cabin where the cash fare is several times the award cost.
- The all-in award total is clearly below the cash fare, not marginally below it.
When buying miles usually does not make sense
- You are buying speculatively, with no confirmed award availability.
- The saving is under roughly ten per cent — cash keeps flexibility and earning.
- Surcharges absorb most of the fare you were trying to avoid.
- The redemption is short-haul economy against an already-cheap fare.

Current promotions
We do not publish promotion claims. Airline purchase bonuses appear and expire quickly, so check ANA's official purchase page for what is live today and treat any third-party promotion table as advertising.
Before you buy
- Confirm award availability on your exact dates before buying any miles.
- Compare any quote against ANA's own purchase price, including promotions.
- Include taxes and carrier-imposed surcharges in the total cost.
- Read ANA's programme terms — they govern your account, not us.
