Compared to other carriers, if the price is not adjusted, still not that attractive

KA and CX are 60% or 70% higher price compared to HX CI and BR , take TPE as an example.

Price Conscious ex-HKG leisure travellers may not find this too attractive.

So my reading of the T&C is that the bonus is only for a return trip, not a bonus per sector. Do others concur?

Yes, it should be for a return trip, particularly for Japan and Korea where SNQ earn less bonus they are not allowed to be mixed class with YBHKMLV and open jaw not allowed

Wondering if the bonus miles have been posted for anyone. The link is dead but I believe it is about 6 weeks after the promotion period now.

Thanks!

Bump - did the bonus miles post for people? I believe it's been almost 10 weeks since the promo is over. Also wonder if anyone got the bonus (double) miles for North America routes at the end of last year.

Thanks!

The bonus miles was crited into account on 8-Feb-2018 (I had HKG-NGO travel between 4-Dec-17 and 8-Dec-17)

I can no longer find the terms (another thing I don't like about AM is that they take away all the promo info before posting the bonus miles), but in the past I've always been able to get it as long as I change my address to somewhere in HKSAR, irrespective of the origin and destination of the ticket. A year ago (early 2017) there was a double miles offer for HKG-USA-HKG and I was able to get the bonus miles by flying TPE-HKG-LAX-HKG-TPE.

Got this from cached page from Bing...

  1. This offer is only applicable to members residing in Hong Kong and Macau. Residency is determined by the member’s preferred mailing address as registered with Asia Miles.
  2. This offer is only applicable to round-trip flights marketed and operated by Cathay Pacific or Cathay Dragon, originating in Hong Kong and travelling to...
(emphasis mine)

You may argue, but seems originating in Hong Kong is interpreted as the first sector of your ticket must be ex-HKG...

Thanks for finding the terms. I was reading the Chinese version which I believe states something like 由香港出發之來回航班 so I had the interpretation that as long as I have HKG-xxx-HKG it should count (which is, well, biased). I called MPO and they confirmed that only ex-HKG tickets count. I guess I was expecting it because previously I've always been able to get the bonus miles with ex-Taiwan tickets even if the promotion is for flights "originating" in HKG. I suppose CX tightens it now.

On another note I was told that the North America double miles promotion was extended to 10FEB2018 although I see no information on the website now, so the bonus miles will be posted in April.
