Cathay Pacific Bank today announced the launch of a new "Cathay Worldwide Gourmet" dining plan. Together with Taiwan's well-known catering reservation platform inline, both parties jointly launched the "Cathay Worldwide Gourmet Dining Exclusive Reservation by inline" service, giving cardholders more opportunities to "book the restaurants they want to eat."
Cathay Worldwide has recognized that dining consumption has become a frequent and important life scene for cardholders, and has observed that cardholders' dining consumption has continued to increase in recent years. From 2023 to 2025, the cumulative amount of domestic dining spending has increased by more than 30%. It further integrates restaurant reservations, dining experiences and diverse discounts through the new "Cathay Worldwide Gourmet" dining plan, further extending credit card dining rights from rewards to a complete dining service experience.
In the first wave of this plan, Taiwan's well-known catering reservation platform inline, which currently serves more than 11,000 restaurants worldwide, jointly launched the "Cathay Shihua Gourmet Exclusive Reservation by inline" service. In 2026, 85% of Taiwan's Michelin-starred restaurants will accept reservations through inline. This time, inline has connected more than 80 cooperative restaurants to provide exclusive reserved seats for Cathay Pacific Financial Management VIPs and credit card holders. Michelin-star restaurants that were difficult to find in the past, private chefs made by regular customers, and even popular restaurants that are difficult to make reservations will become "reservable" dining options for Cathay Pacific cardholders.
Liang Mingqiao, chief data officer at Cathay Pacific Bank, said that as customers' expectations for dining experiences have increased, credit card dining benefits are no longer limited to discounts or points rewards. Scarce resources such as priority reservations at popular restaurants, exclusive seats and limited experiences have gradually become service values valued by cardholders.
Doris Yu, founder of inline, said that gourmets who really know how to eat always have a long list of places to go. What they lack is reserved seats. Most of Taiwan's star-rated restaurants and famous stores with difficulty making reservations accept reservations through inline. This time, we have joined hands with Cathay Pacific to reserve exclusive seats for cardholders and launch limited dinner parties, so that cardholders who value dining taste can have exclusive services when they want to make reservations.
The "Cathay World Food Exclusive Reservation by inline" service will be officially launched on October 1, 2026. In order to meet the catering needs of different cardholder groups, cardholders can unlock exclusive reserved seats at the corresponding restaurant based on their cardholder qualifications after entering the special area and completing identity verification, and complete meal reservations for the next month.
From 3:00 p.m. on the 11th of each month, Cathay Worldwide Wealth Management VIPs and cardholders around the world can have priority in booking exclusive seats in high-end restaurants such as designated star-rated restaurants and specialty private chefs. From 3:00pm on the 13th of each month, all Cathay Worldwide credit cardholders will be able to make reservations at star-rated restaurants, popular famous stores and restaurants with difficulty in making reservations. This will take into account the scarce attendance needs of high-end customers and allow more cardholders to enjoy reservation services at popular restaurants.
To celebrate the official launch of "Cathay World Food", limited activities will be launched from October 3 to October 5. Cardholders can go to the "Food" website and log in to the Cathay Discount App to draw "Additional Food Credits" (Uber Eats coupons) every day; and there will also be regular "Food" redemption days on the 6th and 26th of every month (3 p.m.), where you can redeem selected popular food offers at great value at Little Tree Points. The first wave offers limited-edition goodies such as 1 point redeemable for mousse coffee and 10 points redeemable for KFC’s popular egg tarts.
