The Offer
- Cathay Pacific is offering a 10% transfer bonus when you transfer from Citi or American Express
The Fine Print
- Valid until 3/31/24
Our Verdict
Useful if you need Asia Miles, just keep in mind the bonus miles take awhile to post.

I got the email and registered. However after singing up, you can see the list of credit card partners, under Citi only shows HK Citibank cards and not US. I wonder if we’d get the bonus transferring from Citi USA?
I noticed the following in the T&C:
Eligible Miles Conversion does not include miles earned via the following conditions and thus they are not eligible for the Promotion Offer:
Miles earned from the welcome offer of designated credit cards
Most of my AMEX MRs came from SUBS.
Good airline but good luck on finding seats with points… especially to South East Asia.
bad timing… just transferred points a few days ago
This 10% transfer bonus promotion dates back to 12/29/2023. You need to register it. It might still be able to retroactively apply to the previous conversion. I’m not 100% sure. But I suggest you register it now.
The terms said “The 2023/24 Points Conversion Campaign (Rest-of-the-world) (“Promotion Offer”) provided by Asia Miles Limited (“AML”) is valid from 29 December 2023, 00:00 to 31 March 2024, 23:59 (GMT+8), both dates inclusive (“Promotion Period”)”. No sure whether the bonus
ah ok that’s very interesting, thanks for the heads up. signed up and maybe it’ll work🤞🏻
i also didn’t read that closely so i didn’t realize it’s a bonus after the fact… not as useful if i’m only using transferring it for a one time trip🥲
not good, but still better than delta or united
Tried to register but received this error message “Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, this promotion is only available to the selected members…”
This makes me wonder if this a public offer or a targeted one
Since Covid-19, the award ticket availability of Cathay Pacific becomes awful.
Right they’re offering a deal before Air China will take a controlling stake in them……
What would those miles be worth at that time 🤷 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
better than you dog monkey
how is the availability on Cathy Pacific for domestic flights?
Are you kidding me Tom? They’re known for international flights
Tomtom
yeah, any sweet spots in their miles chart to use for domestic flights as an one world alliance?
I fly PHL-MDE RT on AA for 30k + ~$70 which is pretty great since I have a ton of MR and AA points harder to acquire imo.
What city is MDE? And is this a business or economy ticket?
Medellin. Econ
What are you doing there? Are you a passport brother? @

Short answer is no.
Cathy Pacific is based in Hong Kong. No domestic flight in USA.
Keep in mind that you need to call CX to be able to book AA domestic flights but availability shouldn’t differ from other OW carriers.
oh okay, i thought i can book through their site, i will stick to other carriers. thanks!
