Together, Marriott Bonvoy and Cathay loyalty program members can avail perks like hotel stay redemptions, two-way points transfer, and upgraded flight and travel package experiences.

“We are committed to curating the best experiences to connect our members through the power of travel,” said Alison Yang, Marriott VP, Revenue Strategy, Loyalty & Partnerships, Distribution, Greater China.

New reciprocal benefits of the partnership include a two-way points conversion between Marriott Bonvoy Points and Asia Miles.

It calculates as 3 Marriott Bonvoy points to 1 Asia Mile, and 2 Asia Miles become 1 Marriott Bonvoy point.

Marriott Bonvoy members can transfer their Points to Miles to redeem flight tickets and more.
