Status Points are used to determine your tier status, which affects your membership level and the benefits you receive. They reset to zero at the beginning of each new membership year following a renewal, upgrade, or downgrade.

Status Points help you achieve an elite status, while Asia Miles allow you to enjoy various travel experiences and make purchases.

Green membership, the entry-level tier, provides access to exclusive flight offers, priority online check-in 48 hours prior to your flight, and the option to book extra-legroom seats with Asia Miles. You will also be provided with a complimentary two-day access pass to PressReader for each flight you book.

Building upon the Green tier benefits, Silver members gain priority check-in at Business Class counters, access to Business Class lounges, and expedited baggage handling. You will also benefit from increased earning rates for Asia Miles on shopping and dining.

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

Members who achieve the Diamond tier receive First Class check-in, access to all First Class and Business Class lounges, and the privilege of inviting guests. Diamond members also benefit from priority baggage handling and receive exclusive offers at partner hotels and restaurants.
