Do you care about miles? ANA is Star Alliance and JAL is oneworld

Redeeming with points

I have traveled in JAL’s F - pretty legendary hard product and excellent, though not exceptional, soft product. Can’t speak to ANA but have read that their F hard product is not really that great.

Ana

Fly business - F isn’t worth the premium

Amex corporate green card or CSR?

Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
