Cathay Pacific is offering 10-15% bonus Asia Miles when you transfer points from a credit card rewards program to Cathay, the Hong Kong-based airline’s new loyalty program, by 12 November 2022. Plus, by transferring at least the equivalent of 30,000 miles into Cathay, any expiring Asia Miles that you earned prior to 2020 will have their validity extended.

To take advantage of this Cathay transfer bonus offer, you’ll first need to register on the Cathay Pacific website.

With this offer, you’ll receive 10% bonus Asia Miles when converting credit card points to Cathay Asia Miles if the value of the Asia Miles received is less than 30,000 miles. When converting the equivalent of 30,000 or more Asia Miles from a credit card loyalty program in a single transaction, you’ll be given an extra 15% Asia Miles.

You’ll also be eligible for the free mileage renewal offer if you convert credit card points to at least 30,000 Asia Miles by 30 September 2022. This offer may require a separate registration on the Cathay Pacific website.

With the mileage renewal offer, any miles that you earned prior to 1 January 2020 which expired (or would be due to expire) from 1 July 2022 onwards will be reinstated and/or extended, and become subject to Cathay’s new and improved expiration policy.

Until the end of 2019, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles expired after 3 years regardless of account activity. But on 1 January 2020, Cathay changed this policy so that Asia Miles would not expire as long as there was activity in the member’s account at least once every 18 months.

Cathay Asia Miles can be redeemed for flights on Cathay Pacific, Oneworld airlines and other partner airlines.
