Our Verdict
Highest public bonus was just recently 50,000 miles, so this is even better. Keep in mind that this card is issued by Synchrony, I’d recommend reading this post about them before applying. It is worth remembering that SPG, American Express Membership Rewards & Citi ThankYou points all transfer to Cathay. I’m no expert on redeeming these miles so I’d recommend reading this Travel is Free post instead. Award chart is as follows:
I think this is a great offer if you are targeted, 75,000 miles is significant and the minimum spend requirement isn’t too bad either. Shame it’s targeted otherwise this would be going straight to the best credit card bonus page. Fingers crossed this is a sign of things to come.
