Update: Official statement from American Express “This was routine maintenance. There are no changes to the Membership Rewards® program and point transfers to ANA will be available again by March 3.”
American Express has paused transfers to ANA Mileage Club until 3/2. The message listed states:
Due to planned maintenance, Membership Rewards® point transfer to ANA will be temporarily unavailable online and by phone from February 25 at 1 PM MST to March 2 at 7 PM MST. We apologize for any inconvenience.
FM speculates that it could be reenabled with a reduced transfer rate. When that happened with Emirates advanced notice was given (and with Cathay Pacific). You can’t make any transfers currently so I guess you just need to wait to see what happens. It would be a shame if more and more transfer partners had reduced none 1:1 rates.
We’ve reached out to American Express and will update the post if they respond.
