Asia Miles by Cathay app: rewarding experiences at your fingertips

It’s no secret that we like to reward our members. For 25 years, we've been providing you with fantastic ways to earn and redeem Asia Miles, allowing you to turn your everyday spending into something even more valuable: unforgettable moments crafted through travel.

We want to make this experience as seamless as possible for you – which is where the Asia Miles by Cathay app comes in. We created the app (not to be confused with the Cathay Pacific app) in 2022 with you, our wonderful community of members, in mind.

Available on both the App Store and Google Play , this all-in-one platform not only allows you to access your Cathay account, keep an eye on your status points and transaction history, but you can also discover exclusive member benefits, rack up miles by looking after your health, and enjoy incredible rewards from our 800 global travel and lifestyle partners – all at the tap of a finger.

Now, we’re introducing a fresh look and enhanced features to the app, so you can earn and redeem miles and access offers and rewards with even greater ease.

“We want to show our members the diverse ways they can earn or redeem miles, and the Asia Miles by Cathay app is an excellent platform for this information,” says Ralph Cheng, Principal Digital Product Manager for the Asia Miles by Cathay app. “Our aim with the app redesign was to help our members maximise the value of the programme.”

“There are many different types of users and they all have different journeys on the app,” Cheng continues. “To satisfy their specific needs, we ensured that the app can figure out what those needs are and provide products and experiences to members directly instead of them having to look in different places.”

If you already use our app, you’ll love that it’s now more intuitive than ever. If you’re new to the Asia Miles by Cathay app, there’s never been a better time to try it. Download it now and you’ll receive a special year-end round-up, highlighting the best moments of your journey with us this year.

Here's your guide to our updated Asia Miles by Cathay app and the host of perks it offers. Top tip: enable push notifications to be the first to learn about all the latest news, updates, and incredible offers.
