Cathay is changing the rates at which it awards Status Points and Asia Miles on flights, for bookings from 20 August 2025.


The main changes seem to be:
  • Higher earnings in premium cabins
  • Lower earnings on Economy Light fares
  • Higher earnings for Economy Essential & Flex fares on routes between 750-2750 miles, except to/from Japan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India.
Fortunately, not moving to spend-based earn!
