Cathay Pacific has launched a somewhat convoluted conversion bonus offer from select programs to Asia Miles between April 12 – May 11, 2023.
The conversion bonus with most programs DOES NOT APPLY if you have converted partner points to Asia Miles from April 1, 2022, to April 11, 2023.
You can access this offer on Cathay Pacific’s website here.
The base bonus for Shangri-La and IHG One Rewards does apply even if you have converted between April 1, 2022 – April 11, 2023.
The additional bonus, however, does not.
The bonus with the following partners is only applicable if you have NOT converted between April 1, 2022, and April 11, 2023:
Conclusion
Cathay Pacific prefers bonusing only those who have NOT converted partner points to Asia Miles for roughly a year. However, would it not make more sense to offer this to everyone if the goal is to get some cash in from the partners?
