ANA Mileage Club partner earning: cabin, class, date
ANA Mileage Club partner-airline earning is published airline by airline, and on each partner page it is set out by cabin, by booking class and by boarding date as a percentage of basic sector mileage. The rate follows the eligible booking class of the boarding date, and tickets reserved under booking classes not listed for that airline are not eligible for mileage accrual. [4] [5]
Facts checked: 18 October 2026
Key takeaways
- ANA Mileage Club credits partner-airline miles at a rate tied to the operating airline, the booking class printed on the ticket and the boarding date; booking classes not listed for that airline are not eligible. [4] [5] [6]
- The partner-airline pages also show two card options: the ANA Mileage Club Card, free of charge with no enrollment or annual fees and a digital card issued immediately, and the ANA Card, the credit-card enrollment option described as a way to earn more miles for your money. [4]
- Partner airlines may change accrual rates and eligible booking classes without notice, so confirm the current rate before a later flight. [4]
How does ANA Mileage Club earn miles on partner airlines?
Partner-airline earning is published airline by airline, and within each airline it is split by cabin, by booking class and by boarding date. The rate is a percentage of basic sector mileage. [4] [5] A sample of published economy rates shows how differently one airline's booking classes can pay:
| Partner airline | Booking classes | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shenzhen Airlines (ZH) | Y, B, M | 100% | Boarding on or after 29 October 2023 [4] |
| Shenzhen Airlines (ZH) | L, P, A, K | 25% | Boarding on or after 29 October 2023 [4] |
| Virgin Atlantic (VS) | Y, V | 100% | Boarding on or after 15 January 2019 [5] |
| Vietnam Airlines (VN) | Y, M, S | 100% | Flights from 1 September 2018 [6] |
| Virgin Australia (VA) | Y, B, W, H, K, L | 100% | Boarding on or after 24 June 2026 [7] |
Cabin and booking class both move the rate. On Virgin Australia, business-class booking classes J, A, C and D earn 150% for boarding on or after 24 June 2026, while for the same boarding dates discount economy classes P, Q, T, I, S, F and U earn 50% and booking class M earns 30%. [7] Vietnam Airlines business class J earns 150% and C, D and I earn 125%, with premium economy W, Z and U at 100%. [6]
What card options do the partner-airline pages show?
The partner-airline pages carry a card panel with two card options. The ANA Mileage Club Card is described as free of charge, with a digital card issued immediately and no enrollment or annual fees. [4] The ANA Card is listed with a credit function as the credit-card enrollment option, presented as a way to earn more miles for your money. [4]
The flight-earning rules sit on the partner-airline pages: the booking class is the class printed on the ticket, and tickets reserved under booking classes that are not listed for that partner are not eligible for mileage accrual. [4] [5]
How do you check whether a partner flight will earn?
Partner-airline earning depends on several details, so check these four points before you count on the miles.
- Check the booking class you will hold. Each partner airline lists the classes that earn, and classes outside that list earn nothing. [4] [6]
- Check the boarding date. Rates change on stated dates: Virgin Australia's tables switch on 24 June 2026, and booking class A appears under economy for boarding until 23 June 2026 and under business from 24 June 2026. [7]
- Check whether the flight is a codeshare. When a codeshare flight is operated by an ANA partner airline, accrual follows the operating airline's booking class rates, so the rate can differ and mileage may not accrue at all. [4] [7]
- Check route limits. For Vietnam Airlines-operated flights, earning is limited to the codeshare-agreed routes listed between ANA and Vietnam Airlines. [6]
For the movement of bank and card points into airline programmes, see the Japan credit card points transfer guide.
Exceptions and limits
- Bonus miles. ANA Premium Points and the various bonus miles normally earned on ANA Group flights cannot be accrued when flying Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Australia. [5] [7]
- Excluded routes. UK domestic flights are ineligible for mileage accrual on Virgin Atlantic. [5]
- Retroactive claims. Documents needed for retroactive mileage registration should be kept until the flight mileage has been confirmed as credited to the account. [4]
- Rule changes. Partner airlines may change accrual rates and eligible booking classes without notice, and rates apply by the eligible booking class of the boarding date. [4]
Frequently asked questions
Do all ANA partner-airline flights earn miles?
No. A ticket earns only if its booking class is listed for that airline; tickets in other booking classes are not eligible for accrual. [4] [5]
Does the booking class on my ticket change the ANA Mileage Club rate?
Yes. On Shenzhen Airlines, for example, Y, B and M earn 100% while L, P, A and K earn 25% for boarding on or after 29 October 2023. [4]
How are codeshare flights treated?
When a codeshare flight is operated by an ANA partner airline, accrual is based on the operating airline's booking class rates; the rate can differ and mileage may not be credited. [4]
What are the two card options shown on the partner-airline pages?
The ANA Mileage Club Card, issued free of charge with a digital card immediately and no enrollment or annual fees, and the ANA Card, listed with a credit function as the credit-card enrollment option. [4]
