HK Express, a limited-service subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, has been running a promotion called Full Miles from time to time. As you can see here a new one popped up:
- Book by May 22
- Travel between June 10 and August 30
- One-way ticket starts at 2,000 miles
Destination includes cities mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan. Note that there are different fare bands: the cheapest Ultra Lite fare allows nothing but one small personal item, in line with Ryanair and easyJet.
Meanwhile Cathay Pacific has launched a Summer Travel promotion where members can earn a bonus when completing transactions with their partners. Most of them are non-exciting – for example even with a 50% bonus you still shouldn’t convert Shangri-La points into Cathay miles. You can however, earn a few more miles when renting a car with Avis and Hertz.
The most meaningful offer is, you will earn a 10% bonus when earning or converting from a range of partners. The list includes many hotel programs like Marriott, Accor and Hilton, with the addition of Shell, Avis, Sixt and Badazhou etc.
Sadly the bonus is only capped at 1,000 miles. Interestingly, Cathay’s previous “Fiesta” is still ongoing (until May 31), which means you can take advantage of both offers at the same time.
A possible scenario:
- Transfer 3,000 Marriott points = 1,000 miles
- Transfer 1,000 Amex points = 1,000 miles
- Earn 500+1,000+100 = 16,00 bonus miles
The new offer ends June 30th and you must fill out a form to register first.
