“My family takes Uber Taxi frequently, so linking my Cathay Pacific and Uber accounts just makes sense. Even 20 per ride adds up after a few months. 

“Also, with services like RentSmart, you can accumulate miles for monthly rental payments using your credit card. Rent is usually the biggest recurring expense for most households, so why not earn some Asia Miles from it?”

“I'm always meeting friends and family over food, so linking my Cathay Pacific membership to OpenRice is an easy win. Earning Asia Miles this way feels much more achievable than relying solely on flights as it gives you the opportunity to turn social plans into future travel rewards.”

“NOC Coffee Co. is one of my favourite cafés, especially after my morning runs. I love that I can earn Asia Miles here through Cathay Pacific’s Card Linked Earn programme. By linking my credit card to my Cathay Pacific account, I can automatically earn miles on my morning coffee without any extra effort. And when you visit regularly, these everyday purchases do add up.” 

“Banks and credit card companies often offer generous Asia Miles incentives, including limited-time offers and special rates. Standard Chartered Hong Kong and American Express are the first two that come to mind.”
