Cathay has announced changes to its membership programme, aiming to make the experience smoother and simpler for members. The new features will apply to Green, Silver, Gold, and Diamond members, with a focus on easier status progression and more flexible benefits. These updates are set to take effect from January 1, 2027, with a transition period beginning January 1, 2026.
Under the revised programme, Status Points will not reset to zero after an upgrade. This change allows members to potentially achieve multiple status upgrades within one year, as all earned Status Points will count toward the next milestone. The membership cycle will also be standardized across all members, running from January 1 to December 31 each year. This replaces the previous individual rolling system and aims to provide clarity for travel planning.
Gold members or above will be able to roll over excess Status Points into the following year. They can carry over up to half of the points required for their current status. This gives them an advantage in maintaining or reaching higher status levels.
