How do I transfer my Asia Miles for free from a minor who is linked to my membership?

You may transfer Asia Miles from a minor without service fees if the following conditions are met:

• The minor has been a Cathay member for at least 1 year.
• You have already linked your Cathay membership to your minor’s account. See Q1 for further details.
• You have already added your minor as your Redemption Group nominee.
• The minor has already added you as their Redemption Group nominee.

Once these conditions are met, you can transfer miles from your minor for free by following the instructions below.

Step 1: From the minor’s account, go to “Update profile”, then click “Manage your miles”.

Step 2: Click “Complimentary transfer”.

Step 3: Choose the number of miles you would like to transfer. You can transfer up to 120,000 per membership year for free, with a minimum transfer requirement of 2,000.

If you exceed the annual free transfer quota or if any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, a service fee will be applied. If you would still like to proceed, follow the step-by-step instructions below.

Step 1: On the minor’s account under “Transfer miles to redemption group nominees”, select “Transfer now”.

Step 2: Choose which redemption group nominee you want to transfer the miles to (this should be the guardian’s account). The minimum transfer amount is 10,000 and you can transfer more in increments of 5,000 miles.

When the minor reaches the age of 18, a guardian’s information will be automatically removed from their Cathay account. As a result, a guardian will no longer be eligible to transfer Asia Miles from the minor for free.
