Every time you spend on groceries, dining, online, shopping or overseas transactions, you earn points. Instead of letting them sit unused, you can convert those points into airline miles and use them to book flights. 

With selected CIMB Credit Cards/-i, you can redeem Economy or Business Class flights with 12 award-winning airline partners, including:

  • Move Avios freely between programmes like Qatar Airways Privilege Club, The British Airways Club, Aer Lingus AerClub, Finnair Plus, Iberia Plus, Loganair Loyalty, and Vueling Club.

Every ringgit you spend brings you closer to flights and hotel stays. The more you accumulate, the further your points can take you.
