ANA To Launch New ANA CARD U.S.A. Plus

ANA plans to launch a new credit card called ‘ANA CARD U.S.A. Plus’. An e-mail was sent out to US based members. Details are as follows:

  • $85 annual fee
  • 5000 miles after first purchase
  • points rewards: 2x on ANA purchase, 1x on others
  • no foreign transaction fee
  • 25% boost on ANA miles when you fly with ANA
  • 10% discount on in-flight purchases
  • 10% discount on ANA operated duty free shop at the airport
  • 5% discount on ANA group
  • Full terms can be found here.

E-mail also mentions ‘We have even better deals! We will send an email soon.’ so not sure what that means. JAL also just launched new US credit cards, so I suspect this is in response to that.

  • It's surprising that neither ANA or JAL partnered with JCB in the US to issue a card as both airlines offer JCB rewards cards in Japan. Delta used to have a US JCB card that earned 1.5 miles per $1 and no annual fee. JCB no longer operates in the US.

  • Thank god it's offering no real miles as a bonus, no real benefits or discounts and negligible inflationary pressure. I don't want it, won't get it, and am super happy with it.

  • This is targeted for Japanese expats living in US. Japanese people never carry on credit card balance, so sub or benefits are usually not lucrative.

  • Having a wife that suffered through working at a Japanese company run by expats, I'm sure someone (internal or consultant) told them this was an uncompetitive offering for the US market, and they decided they knew better.

    • this is 100% correct, with the added bonus that they hired the consultant or foreigner with the intent of “globalizing” , and “getting an international opinion” and the proceed to disregard the employee in every domain, even in English translations

      I worked there for 5 years and hated that part of it.
