Status Points are used to determine your membership tier, which in turn defines your level and the benefits you receive. These points reset to zero at the beginning of every new membership year when your status is renewed, upgraded, or downgraded. Conversely, Asia Miles function like a currency that can be used to redeem flights and other lifestyle rewards, and they are valid for a three-year period. In essence, Status Points allow you to achieve a higher membership status, while Asia Miles are what you use to enjoy travel and other rewards.

Our membership tiers—Green, Silver, Gold, and Diamond—are structured to recognize loyal customers with progressively enhanced benefits.

Green membership is the initial tier, providing access to exclusive flight deals, priority online check-in 48 hours before departure, and the option to use Asia Miles to secure extra-legroom seats. With every flight booking, you also get a complimentary two-day access pass to PressReader.

Building on the Green tier advantages, Silver members gain access to priority check-in at Business Class counters, entry to Business Class lounges, and priority baggage handling. Silver status also comes with higher earning rates for Asia Miles on shopping and dining.

Gold tier members receive an additional checked baggage allowance and a guaranteed seat in Economy Class on Cathay Pacific flights. They are also entitled to two complimentary Business Class lounge passes, exclusive upgrade opportunities, and superior earning rates for Asia Miles.

Diamond tier members enjoy First Class check-in, access to all First Class and Business Class lounges, and the privilege of inviting guests. This tier also includes top-priority baggage handling and special offers from our partner hotels and restaurants.

You can find additional details about Status Points and the specific benefits of each tier here.

Status Points are earned on eligible tickets issued by Cathay Pacific or our oneworld alliance partners in qualifying fare classes. You can see the precise number of Status Points and Asia Miles your ticket will earn during the booking process and in your online booking details, as the amount is based on the airline, cabin class, fare type, and distance.
