ANA Flyers Face a ¥3 Million Test as Lounge Access Rules Tighten
ANA will split its Super Flyers Card into SFC PLUS and SFC LITE from April 2028, tying top benefits to at least ¥3 million in annual ANA Card and ANA Pay spending. Members below that threshold will lose ANA Lounge access and drop from Star Alliance Gold to Silver status. The change affects current cardholders and has sparked criticism among frequent flyers in Japan. ANA says the new system will assess spending yearly.
