Using ANA Award Search Without Miles?

The ANA award search tool is one of the best places to search Star Alliance award space.


Not surprisingly, over the years they've added a few restrictions to using it, given that a lot of people that didn't have any ANA miles were using it to search award space when trying to redeem miles through other airlines.


One restriction they technically added is that you need some miles in your ANA account in order to be able to search partner award space. Three years ago ANA offered 100 miles for completing a survey, which was a good way to get some account activity so you could easily search Star Alliance award space.
