Overview
- Wells Fargo Rewards, which Tuesday added Cathay Pacific Asia Miles at a 1:1 rate, now supports instant transfers that can move even a single point.
- American Express recently cut its Asia Miles transfer ratio to 5:4, so 1,000 Amex points now yield 800 miles.
- Asia Miles can book Cathay and other Oneworld airlines, and a Los Angeles–Hong Kong business seat increases to 91,000 miles on May 1 from 88,000.
- Cathay has raised taxes and fees on some awards in recent months because of fuel price swings tied to the war in Iran, which raises cash costs for travelers.
- The Cathay link follows new Wyndham 1:2 and JetBlue partnerships and makes the Autograph Journey card more attractive with strong travel earn rates and a $50 annual airline credit.
