Looking to boost your Asia Miles? You can multiply your miles when you make a purchase from one of our 800+ partners using a Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard^®, or by easily converting your credit card points from our finance partners to unlock extra rewards. From earning double miles to enjoying complimentary hotel stays, read on to discover how to get the most out of your spending.

Pay once, earn twice

Make purchases using your Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard to earn Asia Miles twice in a single transaction. Not only do you earn miles by spending with any of our partners, but you can also enjoy an accelerated earn rate of up to HKD2=1 just for using the card. You accrue Status Points too, which can go towards upgrading your membership. 

Haven’t got the Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard yet? You can quickly convert your other existing credit card points into Asia Miles free of charge via selected finance partners. These include HSBC, Citibank, DBS, The Bank of East Asia, American Express, Standard Chartered Bank, AEON, BOC Credit Card, Bank of Communications, China Construction Bank (Asia) Corporation Limited, Fubon Bank (Hong Kong), Shanghai Commercial Bank, and CMB Wing Lung Bank. 

Travel 

When it comes to travelling, there are multiple ways to earn more Asia Miles. All members booking Cathay Pacific or HK Express can enjoy a rate of HKD3=1, but you can use your Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard to earn additional miles. For instance, as a member, you can book a one-way trip from Hong Kong to London for HK$5,090, earning you 3,330 Asia Miles from your flight. Use your Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard to earn an additional 1,272 miles at HKD4=1 for online spending. On top of that, every accumulated HK$8,000 worth of spending gets you a bonus of 2,000 (at up to HKD2=1). Cardholders can enjoy a maximum of 4,000 during the promotion period. 

If you’re a Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard – Priority Banking or Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard - Priority Private cardholder, you can elevate your journey further with exclusive additional travel privileges. Perks include two sharable First class and eight sharable Business class lounge passes for you and your loved ones to start your trip off pampered, well-fed and relaxed.

Accommodation

After securing your flights, it’s time to lock down your hotels. Luckily enough, you can book your stay through Cathay Holidays. Members can redeem their hard-earned Asia Miles on accommodation around the globe – and earn extra miles when you do so. We have some great Flight + Hotel packages available, as well as hotel-only options in cities all over the world. From start to finish, we make booking your holiday effortless.

Car rental

Once you’ve arrived at your destination, make sure to travel in style with one of our car rental partners. When you book with Hertz between 23 January – 31 March, you’ll enjoy up to 1,000 (double miles earning) as well as a 10% discount promotion in selected destinations. And if you rent a car for seven days or more, you’ll enjoy one day free. 

Shopping

We’re here to help make earning Asia Miles a seamless, integral part of your everyday life – and that includes your everyday shopping.

And if you pay with your Standard Chartered Cathay Mastercard, you’ll earn an additional 416 miles at HKD6=1. All you have to do is link your Cathay Pacific Cathay account to your MoneyBack account and convert your points into Asia Miles on designated websites or at any MoneyBack kiosk.
