Ideally you’ll see this offer on the Amex Platinum

This offer is targeted, though it’s possible you’ll see it on multiple of your Amex cards. If so, I’d highly recommend registering your Amex Platinum Card for this offer. That’s because the Amex Platinum offers 5x points on airfare purchased directly with airlines.

value Membership Rewards points at 1.7 cents each, so to me those points alone are worth an incremental 8.5% return. On top of that, the Amex Platinum offers excellent travel protection, should you experience irregular operations.

In other words, if you took advantage of this offer with the Amex Platinum for a $1,000 ticket, you’d earn a total of $175 plus $5,000 points (which I value at ~$85), for a return of $260 — that’s quite a return on spending!

Ideally also earn 5x points for your flight booking

Bottom line

There’s a new targeted Amex Offers deal for a $175 statement credit when you spend $1,000+ on a Cathay Pacific flight. If you’re planning travel on Cathay Pacific, this has the potential to be a great deal. Ideally you’ll see this offer on the Amex Platinum, so that you can really maximize your rewards.

Were you targeted for this Amex Offers deal, and if so, do you plan on taking advantage of it?

    No surprise. Surely Cathay is having trouble selling seats. What I am suprised is that you have not posted anything about Airbus' new deal in China.

    Just a minor typo but I think you meant 5000 points and not dollars (& points).
