Marriott and Cathay announced today more reciprocal benefits as part of their partnership. Eligible members can now take advantage of a new status match offer, and accelerated points earning via seamless two-way conversion between Miles and Points.
Starting from today, Marriott Bonvoy and Cathay members can enjoy benefits and privileges, such as hotel stay redemptions, two-way points transfer, and enhanced flight and travel package experiences. Members can learn more about our Preferred Partnership here.
Here are the new reciprocal benefits that the two companies shared today in a press release:
- Elevating Two-way points conversion: Marriott Bonvoy Points can be mutually exchanged with Asia Miles from Cathay to unlock more exclusive member privileges. With the 2-way conversion program, 3 Marriott Bonvoy points can be converted to 1 Asia Mile, and 2 Asia Miles can become 1 Marriott Bonvoy point.
- Limited Time Offer – Fast track to accelerated status upgrades: For a limited time, the partnership enables members to upgrade their status through accelerated and discounted pathways. Marriott Bonvoy Gold, Platinum, Titanium, and Ambassador Elite members have the opportunity to accelerate to Cathay Silver or Gold status, depending on their membership tier. Meanwhile Cathay Silver, Gold, and Diamond members have the opportunity to accelerate to Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status.
- Limited Time Offer – Status matching: Members will have the chance to status match their Marriott Bonvoy and Cathay membership tiers and expand their access to exclusive benefits and offers. Marriott Bonvoy Platinum/Titanium/Ambassador Elite members will be matched to the Cathay Silver membership tier, subject to limited quota. That is equivalent to oneworld Ruby status. Cathay Silver/Gold/Diamond members can enjoy equivalent Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status.
