How to pick the right card

  • 1.Start with the sign-up bonus.It's usually the biggest points haul of year one — but check the minimum spend and whether you can meet it without buying things you don't need.
  • 2.Weigh the earn rate against the annual fee. A higher points-per-dollar rate only pays off if your spend is large enough to outrun the fee.
  • 3.Decide: direct or flexible. Earning ANA Mileage Club miles directly is simplest; earning transferable bank points keeps your options open if your plans (or ANA Mileage Club's value) change.
  • 4.Have a redemption in mind.Points are only worth earning if you'll use them — check what ANA Mileage Club miles actually books before you apply.

Frequently asked

What's the best credit card for ANA Mileage Club points in Australia?
No card in our list earns ANA Mileage Club miles directly. The usual approach is a card that earns flexible bank points which can then transfer in.
Is it better to earn ANA Mileage Club miles directly or transfer points in?
Direct-earning cards are simpler and lock you into one currency. Cards that earn flexible bank points keep your options open — you can transfer to ANA Mileage Club or to a different program later — but transfers are one-way and ratios change, so they suit people who value flexibility over simplicity.
Do sign-up bonuses count toward ANA Mileage Club miles?
Yes — a card's sign-up bonus is usually the single biggest chunk of points you'll earn in year one, often dwarfing everyday spend. Weigh the bonus (and any minimum-spend requirement) against the annual fee when comparing cards.
