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.

    I do NOT recommend this card if you’re new to the miles & points hobby.  But I’ll show you why this card could be ideal for folks who have been earning miles & points for a while!

    You’ll now earn 50,000 Cathay Pacific miles when you open the Cathay Pacific Visa Signature card and spend $2,500 on purchases in the first 90 days of opening your account.  That’s 25,000 miles higher than the previous sign-up bonus!

    You’ll also get:

    The annual fee is $95, and it’s NOT waived the first year.

    Is This a Good Deal?

    Link:   Cathay Pacific Award Chart

    Cathay Pacific uses a distance-based award chart.  So the price of an award flight depends on the distance you fly.

    It costs 40,000 Cathay Pacific miles for a one-way coach flight from the west coast to Asia.  And 60,000 miles for a round-trip ticket.  So the Cathay Pacific Visa Signature is only enough for a one-way flight to Asia.

    But if you collect American Express Membership Rewards points, Citi ThankYou points, or Starwood points, you can transfer those points to Cathay Pacific at a 1:1 ratio to top-up your account.

    A One-Way Flight From The East Coast to Hong Kong Can Cost ~$500+

    Check out my posts on how to make the most of your Cathay Pacific miles and the secret ways to book Cathay Pacific award flights.

    That said, I do NOT recommend this card for folks new to the miles and points hobby.  That’s because there are better Chase credit cards you should open first.  And if you’ve opened 5+ cards from any bank (NOT counting Chase business cards and these other business cards) in the past 24 months, it’s unlikely you’ll be approved for those more valuable cards.

    However, if you already have lots of credit cards from the major banks, like AMEX, Chase, and Citi, this could be a great card for you!  That’s because the Cathay Pacific Visa Signature is issued by Synchrony Bank.  And most folks in miles & points don’t have many cards from them.

    Bottom Line

    For a limited time, you’ll earn 50,000 Cathay Pacific miles after opening the Cathay Pacific Visa Signature and spending $2,500 on purchases in the first 90 days of opening your account.  That’s enough for a one-way flight from the east coast to Asia.  And nearly enough for a round-trip ticket!

    This is NOT a good card for beginners, because there are other cards with better sign-up bonuses!  But if you already have lots of credit cards with the major card issuers, this could be a good option for you.

    We don’t earn anything from this card.  But we’ll always tell you about the best offers!
