Mistakes to avoid
- ANA partner reward flights must be booked as round trips, so you cannot book a single one-way partner award.
- ANA miles expire 36 months after the month they are earned, so do not let a transferred balance sit for years.
- Season changes the price a lot: NRT-LHR business is 55,000 ANA miles in low season but 90,000 in high season, so check the dates before you transfer.
- Do not transfer Amex points until you have seen award space, because transfers cannot be reversed once the miles arrive.
