CATHAY PACIFIC VISA SIGNATURE® CARD AND CATHAY PACIFIC VISA® CARD REWARDS ADDENDUM TO THE CATHAY MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“CREDIT REWARD TERMS”)

By applying for and opening a Cathay Pacific Visa Signature Card or a Cathay Pacific Visa Card (each a “Cathay Pacific Visa Card”), you hereby agree to be bound by these Credit Rewards Terms. In addition, you acknowledge you have previously enrolled in the Cathay membership program (the “Rewards Program”), or if you have not, you agree to be enrolled in the Rewards Program, and to be bound by the Rewards Program Terms and Conditions (“Rewards Program Terms”), which are available at www.cathaypacific.com.

 

Make Purchases with your Cathay Pacific Visa Card and Earn Asia Miles

When you make an eligible net purchase (eligible purchases minus credits, returns and adjustments) (“Eligible Purchase”) with your Cathay Pacific Visa Card, you will automatically earn Asia Miles in your Rewards Program account if your Cathay Pacific Visa Card account is open and in good standing both at the time you make an Eligible Purchase and at the end of your billing cycle during which you made an Eligible Purchase. Asia Miles earned for an Eligible Purchase will be calculated at the end of the billing cycle in which the Eligible Purchase was posted to your Cathay Pacific Visa Card account and will appear in your Rewards Program account within 60 days provided your Rewards Program account is active. Eligible Purchases do not include special financing purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, finance charges and fees associated with your credit card.

 

  • Cathay Pacific Purchases When you use your Cathay Pacific Visa Card for Eligible Purchases purchased directly from Cathay Pacific, you will earn 2 Asia Miles for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
  • Dining and Foreign Transactions When you use your Cathay Pacific Visa Card for Eligible Purchases made at dining establishments or Eligible Purchases made outside the United States or in a foreign currency, you will earn 1.5 Asia Miles for every U.S. dollar spent rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Eligible Purchases made at dining establishments will be determined by the merchant category code (the “MCC”). Eligible Purchases made outside of the United States or in a foreign currency will be determined by the country of origin associated with the transaction or the currency code associated with the transaction. An MCC is a four-digit classification code that is assigned to a merchant by the merchant’s payment card network or merchant processor based on the predominant business activity of the merchant. The merchant’s MCC, the country of origin, and the currency code associated with the transaction will determine whether an Eligible Purchase qualifies for the 1.5 Asia Miles reward. For example, a dining purchase at the café area of a grocery store may have an MCC identification as a type of merchant other than a dining establishment and therefore would not qualify as a dining purchase under these Credit Reward Terms. Similarly, if while making a purchase outside of the United States you have an option from the merchant to pay in U.S. dollars or in the local currency (often called Dynamic Currency Conversion) and you choose to pay for the purchase in U.S. dollars and the merchant does not properly identify the country of origin for the transaction as outside of the United States, then the transaction would not qualify as a purchase made outside of the United States under these Credit Reward Terms. Neither Cathay Pacific, Asia Miles, nor Synchrony Bank assigns or has responsibility for the assignment of MCCs or country of origin codes associated with a transaction or evaluates what MCC or country of origin code should be assigned to a particular merchant. Neither Cathay Pacific, Asia Miles, nor Synchrony Bank is responsible for awarding Asia Miles for Eligible Purchases made at merchants that do not accurately report transactions using the correct country of origin code or using the MCC described above.
  • All Other Purchases When you use your Cathay Pacific Visa Card for Eligible Purchases made everywhere Visa credit cards are accepted, you will earn 1 Asia Mile for every U.S. dollar spent, rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

Redeem Your Asia Miles

All Asia Miles earned with your Cathay Pacific Visa Card and credited to your Rewards Program account can only be redeemed in accordance with the Rewards Program Terms through your Rewards Program account by visiting www.cathaypacific.com. Your Cathay Pacific Visa Card account must be open and in good standing when your Asia Miles are calculated at the end of the billing cycle during which you made an Eligible Purchase. If your account is not in good standing at that time, any Asia Miles earned will not be posted to your Rewards Program account until your Cathay Pacific Visa Card account is brought back into good standing status. If your Cathay Pacific Visa Card account is closed for any reason before your Asia Miles are calculated or credited to your Rewards Program account, you will forfeit all Asia Miles you may have earned that had not yet been credited to your Rewards Program account. Asia Miles earned on or after January 1, 2020, will not expire as long as you earn or redeem Asia Miles on your Rewards Program account at least once every eighteen (18) months. Miles earned before January 1, 2020, will continue to expire three (3) years from the month in which they are posted to your Rewards Program account.
