We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    You Can Save $200 When You Use Your American Express Card to Buy Your Cathay Pacific Ticket

    American Express Offers

    You can save money on everyday purchases with American Express Offers.  And you can combine them with other discounts and coupons for even bigger savings!

    You can register almost all American Express cards except corporate cards, gift cards, and prepaid cards like Bluebird.

    $200 AMEX Statement Credit

    One of the latest American Express offers is a $200 American Express statement credit when you spend $2,000 or more on the Cathay Pacific website by July 31, 2014.

    Did You Register Your AMEX to Save $200 on a Cathay Pacific Ticket?

    You have to book your ticket through the specific Cathay Pacific website to get the $200 American Express statement credit.

    Let’s say you and your partner wanted to spend Thanksgiving week, November 22, 2014, to November 30, 2014, in Hong Kong.

    Two coach tickets on Cathay Pacific from Los Angeles to Hong Kong would cost ~$2,198. But if you registered and paid with your American Express card, 2 coach tickets would cost $1,998 ($2,198 for 2 coach tickets – $200 American Express statement credit).

    Have Dim Sum for Thanksgiving and Save $200

    If you’re already buying tickets to Asia, using your American Express to save $200 is worth it.  Because it’s worth saving cash instead of earning Chase Ultimate Rewards points, Citi ThankYou points, or Barclay Arrival points.

    For example, if you used your Chase Sapphire Preferred you would get ~4,396 Chase Ultimate Rewards points (~$2,198 in airline tickets X 2 Chase Sapphire Preferred travel bonus).  You’d have ~$44 (if you redeem for cash back) or ~$66 in Ultimate Rewards points (~4,396 x 1.5 cents per Ultimate Rewards ).

    So $200 cash is better than $66 in flights!

    So it’s better to save cash than collect points with this promotion.  But be sure to check prices on Priceline.com, Orbitz, and Kayak to make sure you’re paying the lowest price.
