Revamping the Travel Experience: The New ANA American Express Partnership Card

In a significant move to enhance travel experiences for its members, American Express and All Nippon Airways (ANA) have announced a complete renewal of their partnership card. This marks the first comprehensive revamp since the card's launch in October 2009, aimed at providing users with even more opportunities to accumulate ANA miles and enjoy premium travel benefits.

Starting from September 2, 2026, at 13:00, applications for the newly designed cards will be accepted. The renewal includes updates to the design of all three card types and an expansion of the benefits associated with the ANA American Express® Gold Card and the ANA American Express® Premium Card.

Strengthened Benefits for Enhanced Earning Potential

The recent trends in travel have shown a remarkable increase in the desire for more travel opportunities among Japanese citizens. According to the latest findings from the American Express Global Travel Trends Report, 64% of Japanese respondents plan to travel more than three times in 2026, compared to just 39% in 2025. This growing interest in travel is driving the need for revamped travel-related financial products.

To cater to this evolving landscape, the new ANA American Express cards will now allow for easier earning of ANA miles, alongside enhanced travel and dining rewards. This restructured offering is designed to meet the diverse needs of travelers, whether for leisure or business purposes.

New Features of the Cards

The three types of cards—ANA American Express® Card, ANA American Express® Gold Card, and ANA American Express® Premium Card—will see a number of exciting updates:

• - ANA American Express® Gold Card

- Annual fee: 42,900 yen (tax included)
- 15,000 bonus miles for annual spending of 4 million yen (tax included)
- Access to the Power Lounge Premium at Haneda Airport's Terminal 2
- Up to 20% cash back (annual limit of 20,000 yen) with the Pocket Concierge dining reservation service

• - ANA American Express® Premium Card

- Annual fee: 187,000 yen (tax included)
- 30,000 bonus miles for annual spending of 6 million yen (tax included)
- Unlimited access to the Power Lounge Premium
- Up to 20% cash back (annual limit of 40,000 yen) with the Pocket Concierge dining service

Both card options continue to offer benefits such as priority pass access, bonus miles on ANA flight purchases, and more, ensuring that members can travel comfortably and affordably.

A Fresh Look for the Future

In addition to enhanced benefits, all three card types will feature a new design that symbolizes ANA’s brand identity, particularly its tail wing motif. The designs reflect a modern, sophisticated look while maintaining a sense of trust and quality that users have come to expect.

Exciting Campaigns for New Members

To celebrate the launch of the revamped cards, the companies will hold an exclusive promotional campaign for new members from September 2 to November 4, 2026. Depending on the card type, new members can earn up to 242,000 miles with the Premium Card and 128,000 miles with the Gold Card, making these offers particularly appealing.

Existing cardholders won’t be left out, either—ANA and American Express are introducing the '50,000 miles Dream Campaign', which will include a drawing for 300 members to win 50,000 ANA miles, enhancing the value for current users of the cards.

As both companies continue their partnership—which has lasted over 17 years—they are committed to enhancing the value of ANA miles and creating enriching experiences for their customers.

Future Endeavors

In summary, the renewal of the ANA American Express partnership card signifies a robust response to the increasing demand for travel while providing enhanced rewards that cater to a diverse range of travel lifestyles. Members can look forward to more engaging and rewarding experiences on their journeys. For further details and to stay updated on the new offerings, visit amex.jp/ana-refresh.
