TPG Lemonade session: ANA Mileage Club
Life has given us all a few (or perhaps a lot of) lemons over the last couple of weeks. The entire TPG staff has been hard at work not only reporting everything you need to know about COVID-19 but also thinking about how we can take those lemons and turn them into lemonade for you, our readers.
This led us to develop our new #TPGLemonade sessions: a series of 15-minute overview trainings on one loyalty program at a time.
Today's session covers the All Nippon Airways (ANA) Mileage Club. The Japanese airline is one of the best in the sky and has a loyalty program that can be incredibly valuable. Learn how to earn and redeem ANA Mileage Club miles in today's video where we screen share how to complete award searches on the ANA award search engine.
