ANA membership has an annual fee, but the cost depends on which tier you choose

ANA (All Nippon Airways) membership costs between roughly $100 and $600 per year, depending on the membership level you select. The program is called ANA Mileage Club, and it has four tiers: Bronze (free), Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The paid tiers unlock benefits like priority boarding, lounge access, and accelerated mile earning. If you hold an ANA-branded credit card, you may receive complimentary membership at a higher tier without paying the annual fee separately.

The exact dollar amount varies by your home country and currency. Membership costs are typically charged once per year, and you can cancel anytime before your renewal date. The fee is separate from any credit card annual fee if you choose to carry an ANA card.

Key Takeaways

  • ANA Mileage Club membership tiers range from free (Bronze) to paid levels (Silver, Gold, Platinum) with annual fees starting around $100.
  • Paid membership tiers give you priority boarding, lounge access, bonus miles on flights, and other perks that free membership does not include.
  • ANA credit cardholders often receive complimentary membership at Silver or Gold tier, which means you do not pay the membership fee separately.
  • Your membership fee renews automatically each year on your anniversary date unless you cancel before that date arrives.
  • The membership fee is charged in your local currency and may differ from the US dollar amount depending on where you live.

How the four ANA membership tiers compare

Bronze is the entry level and costs nothing. You earn one mile per dollar spent on ANA flights and can redeem miles for tickets and upgrades. You get no priority boarding, no lounge access, and no bonus earning rates.

Silver, Gold, and Platinum are the paid tiers. Silver typically costs around $100 to $150 per year and gives you priority boarding on ANA flights, access to some airport lounges, and a 10% bonus on miles earned. Gold costs roughly $300 to $400 per year and adds higher lounge tier access, a 25% mile bonus, and faster elite status progression. Platinum is the highest tier, usually $500 to $600 annually, and includes premium lounge access, a 50% mile bonus, and the fastest path to elite status.

The exact benefits and pricing for each tier can shift, so check ANA's official website for your region to see the current structure. Some benefits also depend on which country you are a member in.

When an ANA credit card covers your membership fee

If you hold an ANA-branded credit card issued by a major bank (such as ANA Card or similar products), the card issuer often includes complimentary ANA Mileage Club membership as a cardholder benefit. This is usually Silver or Gold tier, depending on the card product. You do not pay the membership fee separately — it comes with the card.

The credit card itself has its own annual fee, which is separate from the membership benefit. For example, a card might cost $95 per year and include complimentary Gold membership (which would otherwise cost $300+). In that case, you are paying only the card fee, not both fees.

When you cancel the credit card, your complimentary membership typically ends on your card's cancellation date. If you want to keep your ANA membership after closing the card, you would need to pay for a tier yourself.

How to check your current membership status and renewal date

Log into your ANA Mileage Club account on ANA's website or mobile app. Your account dashboard shows your current tier, your mile balance, and your membership renewal date. This is where you can also see when your next annual fee will be charged.

If you do not remember your login details, use the "Forgot Password" option on the ANA Mileage Club login page. You will need your membership number or the email address associated with your account.

Your renewal date is typically one year from the date you joined or last renewed. If you want to cancel before the fee charges, you must do so before that date. Some regions allow you to cancel through your online account; others require you to contact ANA customer service directly.

What happens if you do not use your membership

If you do not fly on ANA or partner airlines during your membership year, your miles do not expire as long as your membership remains active. However, you will still be charged the annual fee when it renews. There is no "pause" option — you either keep the membership and pay the fee, or you cancel it.

If you cancel your membership, your miles are held for a limited time (usually 36 months) before they expire. You can reactivate your membership later and regain access to those miles, though you may need to pay a reactivation fee depending on how long you have been inactive.

How to cancel your ANA membership

To cancel, log into your ANA Mileage Club account and look for a cancellation or account closure option. Not all regions offer online cancellation, so you may need to contact ANA customer service by phone or email. Have your membership number ready when you reach out.

Cancel before your renewal date if you want to avoid being charged for the next year. If you are charged by mistake, contact ANA within a reasonable time to request a refund. Refund policies vary by region and card issuer, so ask what your options are when you call.

If you hold an ANA credit card with complimentary membership, canceling the card does not automatically cancel your ANA membership — you may need to do that separately if you do not want to be charged when the complimentary benefit ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund if I cancel mid-year?

Refund policies vary by region and whether you paid the fee directly or received it as a credit card benefit. Contact ANA Mileage Club customer service with your membership number and cancellation date. Some regions offer prorated refunds; others do not refund at all once the year has started.

Do my miles expire if I let my membership lapse?

Your miles do not expire when ready when your membership ends, but they are held in a dormant state for a limited period (usually 36 months). If you reactivate your membership within that window, you regain access to your miles. After that period, they are forfeited.

What is the difference between ANA membership and an ANA credit card?

ANA Mileage Club membership is the frequent flyer program; the credit card is a separate product issued by a bank. The card earns miles and may include complimentary membership, but you can be a member without holding the card. The card has its own annual fee and benefits.

If I have an ANA credit card, do I pay both the card fee and the membership fee?

No. You pay the credit card annual fee, which typically includes complimentary ANA membership as a benefit. You do not pay the membership fee separately. When you close the card, the complimentary membership ends unless you pay to keep it yourself.

Can I upgrade from Bronze to a paid tier without paying the full year?

Most programs charge the full annual fee for paid tiers, regardless of when you upgrade during the year. Some regions may offer prorated pricing, so contact ANA to ask whether mid-year upgrades are available in your country.
