With the transfer ratio to Asia Miles set to reduce in March 2026, this may be useful for those looking to build up Asia Miles before that transfer devaluation.

Quick Thoughts
Cathay Pacific Asia Miles offers a few notable good uses. They release more award space to their own members, so it can sometimes be the best bet for snagging Cathay Pacific long-haul business class. Another notable sweet spot is the ability to book some British Airways business class flights for a reasonable number of miles and far less in surcharges than through other airlines.
We sometimes see Amex offer these targeted 15% transfer bonuses to Asia Miles. The odd thing about transfer bonuses to Cathay Pacific Asia Miles is that the transfer bonus sometimes shows up, but then disappears entirely after you see it (if you don’t use it). If you are interested in this offer, you’ll probably want to be ready to make the transfer when you log in.
