Cathay Pacific launches credit card program

Neo Financial and Cathay Pacific have partnered to launch a new card program. 

With Canada’s only card that earns Asia Miles, customers can enjoy premium rewards at home and abroad, significant travel benefits and insurances, and digital features in the Neo app. 

Not only that, a secured option is available for newcomers to Canada with guaranteed approval – no credit history required, the airline says. 

This year, Cathay Pacific celebrated its 40th anniversary of connecting Hong Kong and Canada. The first nonstop service from Hong Kong to Vancouver launched on May 1, 1983. 

Today, Cathay Pacific offers nonstop service from Toronto and Vancouver to Hong Kong and over 60 destinations, including 16 airports in 15 cities in the Chinese Mainland.

The program will becomes available this fall and Cathay Pacific cardholders will enjoy welcome offers, such as 45,000 Asia Miles, which is enough to cover a one-way, economy class flight from Vancouver or Toronto to Hong Kong.

Cardholders will also receieve: 

    •    10% booking discount: For a limited time, get 10% off Canada-origin Cathay Pacific bookings⁴.
    •    Premium rewards: Earn one Asia Mile per dollar on every purchase in Canada⁵ and double the miles on purchases outside of Canada⁶ and on Cathay Pacific flights⁷. Plus, receive an average of 5x⁸ the Asia Miles at thousands of Neo partners and up to 15x⁸ on first-time purchases.
    •    Travel benefits: Get priority online check-in, access to airport lounges, in-flight Wi-Fi, and unique and memorable experiences worldwide.
    •    Significant insurances: Enjoy peace of mind with protection against flight cancellation, baggage loss, flight delay, car rental theft and damage, and more.
    •    Helpful digital features: Access spending insights, 24/7 chat support, real-time card management, and proactive alerts and notifications in the Neo app.

”Our partnership with Neo Financial marks a new milestone in our commitment to serving Canadian travellers, providing greater access to Asia and beyond via Cathay’s network. This is Cathay Pacific’s first cobranded credit card partnership with a fintech. Neo’s ability to provide an instant and best-in-class financial experience for our customers aligns with Cathay Pacific’s ambitions of becoming one of the world’s greatest service brands," said Paul Smitton, director customer lifestyle, Cathay Pacific.
