Hong Kong’s American Express Cathay Pacific Corporate Card programme has been upgraded to provide a better earn rate to both card members and companies.

The programme, which consists of the Cathay Pacific Corporate Card and the Cathay Pacific Elite Corporate Card, allows cardholders to earn Asia Miles when they use the credit cards, while also offering companies the same when they book for Cathay Pacific (CX) and Dragonair (KA) flights.

The following table shows the changes to the programme’s Asia Miles earn rate:

    Old earn rate New earn rate
 

 

 

 

Card members benefits

 

Cathay Pacific Elite Corporate Card

 

HK$12 for one Asia Mile on local spend HK$7 for one Asia Mile on all eligible business spend
 

HK$10 for one Asia Mile on overseas spend

 

Cathay Pacific Corporate Card

HK$12 for one Asia Mile on both local and overseas spend HK$10 for one Asia Mile on all eligible business spend
 

Company benefits

 

Corporate Asia Miles

HK$12 for one Asia Mile on all spend on CX/KA flights HK$10 for one Asia Mile on all spend on CX/KA flights

The changes will result in a significant increase to the overall earn rate, as Cathay Pacific Elite Corporate Card holders will now earn a flat one Asia Mile for every HK$7 spent on all eligible business spending – as opposed to the old system, which saw them earn one mile for every HK$12 on local spending or HK$10 on overseas spending.

Meanwhile, Cathay Pacific Corporate Card users will now earn one mile for every HK$10 spent – an upgrade over the previous card that only offered one mile for every HK$12 spent.
