(hereinafter 'ANA') and IHG Hotels & Resorts (hereinafter 'IHG') have signed a 'Comprehensive Loyalty Partnership' to create new experiential value transcending the boundaries of airlines and hotels. By maximizing ANA's vast international network serving 55 routes in 40 cities globally (as of March 2026) and IHG's hotel portfolio of over 7,000 properties in more than 100 countries, we will sequentially offer customers unprecedented travel value starting in October 2026. [New Benefit Details Under This Partnership] 1. Preferential treatment when using IHG hotels via Status Match By joining both programs and linking their accounts, AMC status members will be able to receive benefits and preferential treatment corresponding to their AMC status within their IHG One Rewards account. Holders of ANA Mileage Club 'Diamond + More', 'Diamond', 'Platinum', and 'Bronze' statuses will be granted the corresponding IHG membership statuses of 'Diamond Elite' (*1), 'Platinum Elite' (*1), 'Gold Elite', and 'Silver Elite', respectively. As a result, AMC status members can enjoy premium privileges such as 'Room Upgrades' and 'Late Check-out' at IHG hotels worldwide (some exclusions apply). *1 Earning IHG status 'Diamond Elite' and 'Platinum Elite' requires a minimum of 2 qualifying nights. 2. Earning ANA miles and IHG One Rewards points When boarding eligible 'ANA international flights originating overseas (ANA flight number and operated by ANA)', you will be able to earn IHG One Rewards points in addition to the traditional ANA miles. By linking both accounts, a 'Double Dip' is realized where you can enjoy the benefits of both from a single flight based on flight distance and booking class. This enables the seamless earning and usage of points and miles beyond the boundaries of airlines and hotels, maximizing the value of the customer's journey. 3. Mutual exchange of ANA miles and IHG One Rewards points In addition to the existing 'exchange from IHG One Rewards points to ANA miles', a new 'exchange from ANA miles to IHG One Rewards points' will become possible. The realization of this mutual exchange allows customers to use their accumulated ANA miles or IHG One Rewards points more freely and flexibly according to the purpose of their next trip.
