Cathay Credits : Why would you pick it over cash refund?
Has anyone picked Cathay Credits instead of cash? There's no bonus/incentive right?

Another reason I can think of: if a credit card was used to take advantage of a new credit card bonus / bonus points and cancelling the card would mean losing the bonus.

Since he lives in HK he's pretty sure he can use up the money on a future ticket. And the value wasn't high.
