Thinking of switching from Rakuten Gold to ANA Gold Wide

I’ve had a Rakuten Gold Card for years, but since I travel often (domestic + international), I realized I’d get more value if I was earning miles instead of just Rakuten points.

I looked into the ANA Gold Wide card, but when applying online, the form won’t accept my full long name. If I shorten it, it won’t match my bank account name — so I can’t link it.

Has anyone run into this problem? Is there a way around it (like applying in person or through paper forms)? And overall, is the ANA Gold Wide worth switching to compared to just keeping Rakuten Gold?

Would love to hear your experiences or advice. Thanks!
