Most people collect credit card points from their everyday spending. But many don’t realise that those points could already be enough or close to redeeming a real flight ticket.
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:

Your CIMB Bonus Points can be converted into Avios – a rewards currency used by major international airlines. Avios allows you to book flights through programmes like Qatar Airways Privilege Club, The British Airways Clubs and other partner airlines.

Shannon has accumulated 960,000 points per year and this allows her to travel the world.


Converting your CIMB Bonus Points to Avios gives you access to a global network of airlines and rewards.
CIMB has run bonus points campaigns with airlines like Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines, giving your points extra value and helping you reach your next holiday faster.
Every ringgit you spend brings you closer to flights and hotel stays. The more you accumulate, the further your points can take you.
