ANA Amex Offer: 30K Points or $300 Back on $2,500 Spend

If you've got an ANA trip on the horizon, check your Amex Offers tab. There's a targeted deal floating around that rewards $2,500 in spending with either 30,000 Membership Rewards points or a $300 statement credit, depending on which version you get. It's a solid return if you can hit the threshold, but the fine print matters more than usual here.

Two Flavors, One Spend Requirement

Amex is running this as a targeted offer, so you might see either the points version or the cash-back version in your account. Both ask for $2,500 in qualifying spending, but the rewards differ: 30,000 Membership Rewards points or a $300 statement credit.

Which one is better? That depends on how you value Membership Rewards. If you regularly transfer them to airline partners for premium cabin awards, 30,000 points can easily be worth more than $300. But if you'd rather take the guaranteed cash back, the $300 credit is nothing to sneeze at either.

The Devil Is in the Booking Details

To trigger the offer, you have to book directly with ANA through one of their official US channels: the US website (fly-ana.com), the US mobile app, or the US reservation line at 1-800-235-9262. Third-party agencies or online travel agencies won't count.

Your itinerary also needs to start in the United States and be charged in US dollars. That means a round-trip from the US to Tokyo qualifies, but a one-way from Tokyo to the US won't. If you're booking a multi-city trip, make sure the first flight departs from a US airport.

What Counts and What Doesn't

The $2,500 can be spread across multiple transactions, which is helpful if you're buying tickets for family or friends. You could book one ticket now and another later, as long as the total reaches the threshold before the offer expires.

Not everything ANA sells will count, though. In-flight purchases like WiFi or entertainment are excluded, as are standalone hotel bookings and car rentals. Codeshare flights or ANA flights operated by partner airlines won't trigger the offer either. And skip the duty-free, travel insurance, and Bid My Price options if you're trying to meet the spend.

• In-flight WiFi, entertainment, or phone service: excluded
• Standalone hotel or car rental bookings: excluded
• Purchases through affiliated agents: excluded
• Codeshare or partner-operated flights: excluded
• Duty-free, travel insurance, Mobile Rental Service, and Bid My Price: excluded

A Sweet Spot for Award Bookings

One of the nicer aspects of this offer is that it applies to taxes and fees on award tickets, not just cash fares. If you're booking an ANA award flight and paying the surcharges with your Amex, that spend can count toward the $2,500.

That said, the $2,500 threshold is high. It's most realistic if you're booking multiple tickets or a premium cabin fare. If you're a solo traveler booking a cheap economy ticket, you might struggle to hit it before the deadline.

Bottom Line

• Check your Amex Offers for either 30,000 Membership Rewards points or a $300 statement credit after $2,500 in ANA spending.
• Book directly with ANA through their US website, app, or phone line to qualify.
• Flights must depart from the US and be charged in USD.
• The spend can be met across multiple transactions, so group bookings help.
• Offer expires November 30, 2026.
