Apparently new enrollees only http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

But thanks anyway! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

To qualify for this offer, you must have a Canadian mailing address. Also, I couldn't find any mention of the 500 free miles even though the sign up form does ask for your AA frequent flyer number.

Maybe I am just needed glasses. If anyone finds mention of the 500 free miles, post it here please.

It looks like that it is for the following:
- New enrollees of CyberTraveler Canada
- Canadian Residents
- Over age of 13

The US web site for Cathay Pacific does not have this offer. http://www.cathay-usa.com

I clicked on the link and it said "Exclusive AAdvantage Enrollment Bonus" and also "Your CyberTraveler membership already shows a AAdvantage number. To update your
CyberTraveler registration click here to login and update." I clicked and entered my AA FF number (I had indicated that I was an AA member, but hadn't entered my number before). Maybe I'll get the 500 miles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
Maybe not. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif Oh well.

Dear Marc Tacchi:

AADVANTAGE(R) IS CATHAY PACIFIC'S NEW FREQUENT
FLYER PARTNER IN CANADA

If you have flown with us before, then you have already
experienced the rewards that our renowned service and modern
fleet of aircraft offer travellers. Well get ready to enjoy even
more rewards! Because Cathay Pacific has begun an exciting new
partnership with the AAdvantage frequent flyer program.

Now when you fly Cathay Pacific in any class you can earn
valuable AAdvantage miles* redeemable on any of over 35 airlines
including all of eight oneworld(TM) partners such as British
Airways, Qantas, American Airlines and, of course, Cathay
Pacific. You can look forward to a wide choice of free travel
rewards within Canada and to more international destinations like
the Caribbean, Mexico, Asia, Europe and the USA.

JOIN AADVANTAGE TODAY AND GET 500 AADVANTAGE MILES

As a registered Cathay Pacific CyberTraveler we want to give you
500 AAdvantage miles for simply enrolling as an AAdvantage member
before August 31, 2000.

To qualify for this offer follow these simple steps:

1) Join AAdvantage instantly by visiting http://www.aa.com.
2) Click on the following link to add your AAdvantage number to
your Cathay Pacific CyberTraveler registration: http://www.cathay.ca/cybertraveleraa...member_id=5260
3) Enter your AAdvantage number and click submit.
4) 500 miles will be automatically credited to your AAdvantage
account.

YOU CAN EARN AADVANTAGE MILES BY FLYING CATHAY PACIFIC

When you fly Cathay Pacific you will earn one AAdvantage mile for
each mile flown (miles are the same as points in other frequent
flyer programs). And when you fly Business Class you will earn a
25% mileage bonus or a 50% mileage bonus when you fly First
Class. Best of all, AAdvantage miles never expire provided you
have at least one transaction within three years. To earn
AAdvantage miles, please make sure to provide your AAdvantage
number when you make your reservation. If you would like to find
out more about the AAdvantage program, please visit http://www.aa.com.

And, since Cathay Pacific is an elite qualifying partner airline
in the AAdvantage program, flying just one Business Class
round-trip to Hong Kong will earn you more than half the miles
you will need to achieve AAdvantage Gold(R) status.

USING AADVANTAGE MILES FOR FREE TRAVEL

You can redeem your AAdvantage miles for worldwide free travel.
The new partnership between Cathay Pacific and AAdvantage makes
earning and claiming free travel awards easier than ever before.

you as an AAdvantage member in Canada, click here http://www.cathay.ca/usingaadvantagemiles.asp

With a little experimentation, the member_id field is specific to you, that is why every one else is getting the "already on record" message.

Similiarly, with a little modification, I managed to "find" my member_id and tried the link without success. This "offer" is only good if you haven't updated your Cybertraveler Canada profile with your AAdvantage number yet, which also explains why I didn't receive this offer as well.

Well, I got the same e-mail as mtacchi yesterday after trying the link he posted and entering my AA FF number. So, hsi.chang, you might still see this e-mail offer from CX.

FewMiles..

I still haven't received this offer, and I doubt I will as I've already (long ago) entered my AA number into the Canadian CyberTraveller profile. I'll post if I ever do receive this offer.

AA WAS award miles for Y,B and H econ class only and I phoned AA today their rep also said Y,B and H class for AA mileage.

Did anyone know the other (cheaper) classes applies to Canadian residents only?

I will fly HKG-SIN with a package and I am thinking of taking a CX class "W" or QF's class "Q".

Thanks!

I've signed up for Cybertraveller previously and haven't got the offer either.

The lower fare grade thing does apply to Canadian residents only. CX had to become more competitive in Canada as they didn't have any FF bonus with CP gone.

Entered in another 4 digit number and it came up with a box to enter in a AAdvantage number. It also has another user's name on it, so it would appear that it is directed to those people who they sent the emails to..

Just checking to see if anyone has anyone gotten the miles for this? I haven't.

I never recieved my points (and I use the link they sent me, not the one posted here!).

Good news. I checked my AA account and they appeared overnight. The posting was dated 20/7/2000
