If you’ve had a quiet travel year and would like to renew your Green status for the following 12 months, paying US$100 (A$137) also gets that done: and again, you’d only need to pay this fee if you haven’t amassed 20 Club Points, so regular flyers would only ever pay that charge upon joining. There’s also priority boarding for Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon flights for the member only, and if you earn just 20 Club Points throughout your membership year, your Green status will be extended by another 12 months: and given how easy Club Points are to earn, that’s not a tough task, especially if you’re travelling enough to enjoy the benefits of your membership. Cathay Pacific’s Marco Polo Club: Green tierĪs a Green-level member, you’ll begin your journey with priority check-in when flying with Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon, and any travel companions accompanying you on the same flight can enjoy the same, scoring you some very easy brownie points with colleagues, friends or family.

Initially, there’s a US$100 (A$137) joining fee to pay, but in future years, you won’t need to pay again provided you’ve earned at least 20 ‘Club Points’ – the Marco Polo equivalent of status credits – during your membership year.
