Touring the world is one of the most unique experiences that can be done by taking advantage of points and miles (we have explained how to detach this type of ticket in a detailed guide).

In this article:

    The ultimate guide to booking a round-the-world ticket and how to get it without paying for it

    Now we want to give visibility to two offers from Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific, specifically designed for those who want to convert their Membership Rewards points for award tickets and also usable for RTW. Not only that, thanks to these two promos you will be able to choose with equal MR points transferred, whether to do it in First Class, visiting 5 countries, or in Business Class visiting up to 8 countries.

    Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer offering.

    Through Jan. 16 all points that will be converted from Membership Rewards to the KrisFlyer program will be increased by 15%. The standard of conversion from MR to the Singapore loyalty program is a conversion rate of 3:2, meaning that for every 15,000 MR points used we will be credited with 10k Krisflyer points.

    Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?

    You could get up to 600€ compensation per person

    For every 10,000 points credited, Singapore will add 15% bonus points, with no limit, so you can convert as many points as you want from the minimum denomination of 1,500. Thanks to this promo if you want to get a ticket in business to go around the world we will only need to transfer 313,500 instead of 360,000 Membership Rewards points.

    Cathay Pacific's Asia Miles offer

    The promo of Asia Miles, Cathay Pacific's loyalty program, is. valid until January 31: if yes transfer Membership Rewards points or other credit cards, toward the program you will have a bonus of 15%.

    Normally transferring 100k Membership Rewards points gives you 80k Asia Miles points, thanks to this promo you will receive 12k more Asia Miles points, bringing the conversion rate to 9 Asia Miles points for every 10 Amex points.

    This is the table for redeeming award flights with the carrier, which is based in Hong Kong and offers one of the most exclusive first class cabins.

    A flight from Milan Malpensa to Hong Kong costs 140k Asia Miles points in Business and 220k in First Class. Significant savings could be achieved through this promo. But an even more fascinating idea is. Use Asia Miles to detach a prize ticket to go around the world in a big way.

    If instead you're aiming for a first-class RTW ticket, you only need to transfer 307,000 Membership Rewards points instead of 350,000, definitely a nice savings for one of the most exciting experiences you can have in the skies.

    To get the bonus you must first register on the company's website.
