Transfer Citi ThankYou Points To Cathay Pacific And Get A 15% Bonus

You can transfer increments of 1,000 Citi ThankYou Points into 1,150 Cathay Pacific Miles through 7/22/23.

Cathay Pacific miles no longer expire, as long you you earn or redeem 1 mile every 18 months.

Cathay Pacific has better award availability on Cathay flights than they release to partners, which makes their miles valuable.

Here is the Cathay Pacific Asia Miles award chart:


You can search for partner award rates here.

Fuel surcharges for British Airways flights are cheaper than they are with other partners. For example while BA charges 50K-60K Avios+$881 and AA charges 57.5K miles+$731 for a one-way business class flight from JFK to London, Cathay charges 61K miles+$236.

If you or a friend has one of the following Citi cards, you can transfer points into miles:

  • Citi Premier® Card has a 60,000 point bonus for spending $4,000 in 3 months, 3 points per dollar on airfare, hotels, travel agents, groceries, gas, and dining. $95 annual fee. Read more here.

Citi no-annual fee cards that are fantastic for earning points, but require a Citi Premier® Card for points transfers include:

  • The Citi Double Cash® Card offers 2% cash back or 2 ThankYou points per dollar spent everywhere. If you also have a Citi Premier® Card Card you can transfer points into miles. No annual fee. Read more here.
  • The Citi Custom Cash® Card offers 5 points per dollar on up to $500 in purchases in your top eligible spending category each billing cycle. This is marketed as 5% cash back, but will actually come in the form of 5 ThankYou points per dollar spent! Eligible categories include Restaurants, Gas Stations, Grocery Stores, Select Travel, Select Transit, Select Streaming Services, Drugstores, Home Improvement Stores, Fitness Clubs, and Live Entertainment. You will also get 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. No annual fee. Read more here.
  • The Citi Rewards+® Card offering 20,000 points for spending $1,500 in 3 months. This card can’t transfer points on its own, but can transfer points if you have one of the Citi cards above. This card automatically rounds up rewards earned on every purchase to the nearest 10 points, meaning you earn 10 points on a $0.50 Amazon balance reload. Earn 2 points on $6K in annual spending at supermarkets, and a 10% points rebate when you redeem points, up to a 10K points rebate per year. If you also have a Citi Premier® Card Card you can transfer points into miles and get a 10% points rebate on transferred or redeemed miles. No annual fee. Read more here.

Thanks, if BA award flight is avail on AA will that typically mean its avail on Cathay?

You can also call and hold a reservation before you transfer points if you’re concerned the flight will dissappear before the transfer goes thru

Narayana S

What about the other way? For e.g what would be the fuel surcharges for IST-LHR-IAD?
