Rimowa, Cathay Pacific and American Express offer travel perks

MANILA, Philippines - Rimowa has definitely taken the world by storm, and their cases alone have given jetsetters even more reason to enjoy their travels. Light as a feather and durable, not only do they become a staple in every travel must-have list, they have also positioned themselves to become one of the most premium brands in luxury travel. Available in 65 countries with flagship stores located in every major city in the world, Rimowa moves people, both literally and figuratively.

Powerhouse brands Rimowa, Cathay Pacific and American Express have come together to give everyone a chance to take advantage of a great escape, whether within the beautiful confines of our exotic locale or offshore to a far-off place.

“Traveling, whether it be for business or leisure, is a way of life for American Express Card members.  We have partnered with a prestigious luxury brand such as Rimowa to bring forth a must-avail rewards offer for the Filipino traveler with discriminating taste,” says Ma. Nannette  Regala, BDO Consumer Lending Group marketing head.

From now until Jan. 31, 2012, for every Rimowa luggage purchased with your locally issued Cathay Pacific American Express Elite or Standard Credit Card (BDO) automatically grants you 5,000 bonus miles care of Asia Miles. As for other American Express Credit Cards such as American Express Credit Card, American Express Platinum, American Express Gold, and Blue from American Express, a Rimowa purchase gives you 2,500 bonus miles.

The more Rimowa luggage purchased using an American Express Credit Card, the more Bonus Asia Miles earned. Card members are entitled to earn as much as 50,000 Bonus Asia Miles, which will enable them to redeem airline tickets to their chosen destination.

And just how far can 50,000 Asia Miles reach? Card members can choose to fly business class to Hong Kong to go on a shopping spree.  Or add the instant miles earned to their existing account to fly to Paris in the spring or enjoy a cool summer holiday in London.

The groundbreaking use of aluminum in 1950 also brought about the trademark grooves on the body of Rimowa luggage.

From the warm and efficient service of Asians through Cathay Pacific, molded with the technical expertise and infallible craftsmanship cultivated by the Germans in Rimowa, and together with the reliability of a global brand such as American Express, an encompassing travel lifestyle relationship is now achieved through this wonderful collaboration.

Rimowa is located at G/F Greenbelt 5, Adora Greenbelt 5, G/F Power Plant Mall Rockwell, G/F Newport Mall Resorts World, 2/F Glorietta 4.
