Tips for keeping Miles active
To give you some inspiration on how to keep your Miles active, we asked members to share their own tips on how they’ve made earning and redeeming Miles a part of their everyday routine.

I moved my salary account to Standard Chartered Bank to earn extra Miles. I also referred friends & family to apply for a co-branded credit card so they could earn Miles too. In less than half a year, I was able to redeem flights to Japan, and even one to Europe! 😎

I earn Miles by using my conversion credit card to pay insurance bills. I earn points for the first HKD10,000 I spend, then I convert them to Miles to earn 10% more. I’m saving up little by little to redeem a trip!🌍✈️

The most efficient way to earn Miles is by upgrading to first class/business class on business trips because then you earn 25% more Miles than in economy😉. If you can’t book Cathay Pacific Airways, use other airline partners to earn Miles!

I use the Standard Chartered Bank co-branded credit card to earn Miles on my spending💳. This means I also get priority for redeeming discounted air tickets. I refer friends & family to apply for the card, so we can all enjoy the benefits and earn referral Bonus Miles too!😁

Before my next long trip, I will apply for a co-branded credit card to earn the welcome offer. Then I’ll book on Hotels.com or Agoda via the Asia Miles platform🏨, so I can earn 2X or 3X the Miles if there’s a special offer!

😁If you want to earn more Miles, you definitely have to use Asia Miles’ hotel partners, like Hotels.com. You’ll earn Miles for your stay and you’ll earn free hotel nights at the same time, so the cycle of benefits never ends!😝
Partner Restaurants
Edward Tang
Life Rewarded since 2012
My colleagues like to have lunch together and I usually book the table and pay the bill😉. I choose Asia Miles’ partner restaurants since they’re always good quality😋. Then I can use the Miles I earn to redeem future trips or an iPhone.

There’s some great authentic Spanish restaurants in Hong Kong 🍴 and some are Asia Miles partners. Dine out on Mondays to earn HKD1=
1 and an extra 25 when you book via Openrice. These restaurants’ interior design and cuisine make you feel like you’re in Spain!😁
Online Shopping Merchants
Ka Lai Chun
Life Rewarded since 2016
I like to use Asia Miles’ online shopping platform to shop💻🎁 and earn Miles— it’s convenient and full of great deals. I can even shop on Taobao or overseas websites when I’m on the go. An easy peasy way to earn Miles!

I love to shop on Taobao, Amazon, Macy’s and Gmarket because they have a big range of choices and I can earn Miles — it’s even better when there’s a promotion! I use the Asia Miles co-branded credit card to earn 2X Miles. If I help friends & family buy stuff, they save money and I earn Miles. A win-win situation!😁
Lifestyle Awards
Lam Sin Hei Phoebe
Life Rewarded since 2005
Sometimes the Lifestyle Awards Platform has big promos, like 30% off homeware & gadgets⌚️📱. I usually redeem something then, so I can keep my Miles active. It’s super flexible!

A lot of my friends save up Miles to redeem air tickets, but they don’t know there’s also a Lifestyle Awards Platform. It’s great for redeeming gifts, so I always check it out for my parents’ or my wife’s birthday🎂😘. It’s easy to spend your Miles wisely!
Car Rental Partner

I like going on road trips whenever I travel🚘. I rent a car from rentalcars.com and buy insurance from Blue Cross—always with my co-branded credit card 💳so I can earn 2X Miles!

When we go on road trips in Japan🚗, I use Miles to redeem air tickets and I also check Asia Miles’ car rental deals to make my trip even more rewarding!😎

Martin Lee
Life Rewarded since 2005
I turn all my daily spending into Miles! I’ve linked my account to AlipayHK for my water and electric bills. I use my co-branded credit card to buy food, and I also have it linked to the autopay function on my Octopus card. I can even earn Miles with my Standard Chartered Bank savings, so I’m basically earning Miles 365 days a year. 😎😎

I pay attention to Asia Miles’ Member-Exclusive flights✈️ to redeem experience that money can’t buy. Last September I joined the chartered flight to Bangkok, and enjoyed Thai food and culture. It was a very memorable experience and using Miles to redeem it meant it was basically free!😉

Here’s how it works
This is Michelle’s Asia Miles account balance. She’s earned 56,000 so far. She’s been a member for a while now, so she has Miles that were earned both before 1 January 2020 and after.
Account Balance
56,000
Miles earned
before 1 Jan 2020
6,000
Miles earned
from 1 Jan 2020
50,000
Michelle earned 6,000 before 1 January 2020, so these Miles will still expire three years after she earned them.
Michelle has earned 50,000 since 1 January 2020. These Miles will remain active as long as she earns or redeems Miles regularly.*
* Under the activity-based rule, the expiry date for all Miles credited after 1 January 2020 will be automatically extended by 18 months every time you earn or redeem your Miles.
First-in-first-out
How Miles will be deducted
Before
After
1 January
2020
If you have Miles earned before and after 1 January 2020, and want to redeem an Award, your Miles earned before 1 January 2020 will be deducted first. Once those Miles are used up, the Miles earned after 1 January 2020 will be deducted.
Here’s how it works
Michelle is an Asia Miles member with 56,000 in her account.
Account Balance
56,000
All her Miles were earned after 1 January 2020, so they fall under the activity-based system. She only needs to earn or redeem Miles at least once every 18 months to keep them active*.
* Under the activity-based rule, the expiry date for all Miles earned after 1 January 2020 will be automatically extended by 18 months every time you earn or redeem your Miles.
