Why Yonder is a great option as a debit or credit card for travelling abroad:

As travellers continue to demand more flexibility and value from their loyalty programmes, we have partnered with premium airline Cathay Pacific to deliver just that. 

The collaboration brings together our debit and credit rewards cards, which turn everyday spending into experiences, with Cathay Pacific’s world-class network, opening up new opportunities for members to travel better.

From today, Yonder members can earn points on their daily spending and put them towards transactions with Cathay Pacific, turning everyday purchases into long-haul flights.

Expanding Yonder’s travel proposition

While Yonder points are already redeemable against flights with any airline, the Cathay Pacific partnership marks a step-change: members now benefit from an enhanced 2% rate, signalling Yonder’s intention to expand its footprint in premium travel. In practice, this means members could redeem points for up to £400 towards the cost of a flight.

The move builds on feedback from our members, who already value the card’s suite of travel benefits, including worldwide travel insurance, access to airport lounge passes, car hire and curated hotel stays.

Why Cathay Pacific?

As Hong Kong’s home carrier, Cathay Pacific connects travellers across the globe with one of the world’s most awarded premium services. From exceptional inflight dining to world-class lounges, the airline has long been a favourite among frequent flyers, making it a natural fit for our members who see the journey as part of the experience.

This partnership represents the beginning of a wider collaboration between Yonder and Cathay Pacific. Both brands share a belief that travel should feel seamless, rewarding and meaningful. Together, we are opening the door to new experiences for Yonder members and Cathay Pacific flyers, whether it’s a family visit to Australia or a business trip to Asia.

“Our members have been telling us they want more ways to use their points on the travel they love – and Cathay Pacific is a perfect fit. This partnership makes everyday spending feel even more rewarding, and it’s only the start of what we want to build together.”

Tim Chong, Co-Founder and CEO of Yonder.

“We’re delighted to partner with Yonder to bring our premium travel experience to its members. Whether travelling for business or leisure, this partnership opens up opportunities for customers to enjoy our exceptional service and explore Asia, Australia and beyond through our extensive network.”

Paul Johannes, European Vice President of Customer Travel and Lifestyle, Cathay Pacific.
