If you are about to send Amex Membership Rewards to ANA Mileage Club, hold on a second. Transfers that usually clear quickly are reportedly running about two weeks late right now, with no fix date, and Amex is said to be aware. This is coming from the points community, not an official notice from Amex or ANA, so treat it as a heads up, not policy.
This is a delay, not a pause and not a partner cut. ANA is still a live Amex transfer partner at 1 to 1, and miles are landing, just slowly and unpredictably.
So do not transfer on speculation. Confirm the ANA award seat you want is actually bookable, then be willing to wait for the points to arrive. Marriott Bonvoy also feeds ANA, but at a rough 3 to 1, so for most people the move is to wait this out rather than reach for it. This should sort itself out.

Community/points-media reported (Frequent Miler, Sept 16 2026); no official Amex or ANA notice. ANA remains a live 1 to 1 Amex transfer partner (official Amex page shows 1,000 MR = 1,000 ANA miles).
